Australian Senator Fraser Anning draws flak for calling Islam 'fascist' religion, targeting Muslims for New Zealand mosque attack

Firstpost  

In a media statement issued on Friday afternoon, Anning said that the attacks highlighted the “growing fear over an increasing Muslim presence” in Australia and New Zealand and pinned the blame for the bloodshed on latter immigration policy. Queensland Senator Fraser Anning has been slammed for his remarks in the wake of the New Zealand mosque shootings as he blamed the Muslim community for being “perpetrators” of violence all over the world and called Islam the “religious equivalent of fascism”. However, while this kind of violent vigilantism can never be justified, what it highlights is the growing fear within our community, both in Australia and New Zealand, of the increasing Muslim presence. New Zealand prime minister Jacinda Ardern described the attack as an “unprecedented act of violence.” Follow LIVE updates on the New Zealand mosque shootings here
