Friday afternoon in Christchurch, New Zealand, two mosques full of worshippers attending prayers were attacked in a mass shooting killing approximately 50 people.
The terrorist attack which has caused a ripple worldwide, has been called one of the country’s “darkest days” by New Zealand’s Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern. As the news circulated, Pakistani celebrities came forward to condemn the attack and sent love and prayers to those affected.
I am deeply disturbed & saddened by the terrorist attack on a mosque in #Christchurch our prayers for all those who have been martyred. People of New Zealand stay strong.

How do you respond to “Them & Us”? a narrative that has been the enemy of humanity since dawn. Today the darkest hearts use it to sow division & dischord. In our Hour of Need let’s answer the call & show those who would hurt us that we stand united all of #ustogether. #newzealand pic.twitter.com/rIPK3MBZWU

I have found NewZealanders to be the most empathetic & compassionate.We need to remember that such individuals donot represent any country or religion when they choose this path.
They just spread fear, cause pain & hurt.
Prayers for the shaheeds & their families.#MosqueAttack— Sana Mir ثناء میر (@mir_sana05) March 15, 2019

Terrorism has no colour, no religion and no country. It is a growing disease spreading in the small minds of this planet and it is deadly. Terrorism is the terminal cancer of humanity!My heart is with the people of NZ,Australia & the whole Islamic community, May Peace be with you

Sending prayers for the swift recovery of those injured in the brutal terrorist attack in Christchurch, NZ. To the families and lives upturned by this tragedy.
To the lives lost in the name of Islamophobia.
