Jacinda Ardern, Prime Minister of New Zealand

[Chief]

But isn't she the strongest and bravest leader of the free world? Doesn't she need to lead us in these tough times?

Oddly she tried to draw parallels between Sri Lanka and Christchurch, very irresponsible I'd say consider Christchurch was a single unhinged individual whereas Sri Lanka was an organized group. Only similarity is killing people at their place of worship, belittles the nature of the latest attacks.

“New Zealand condemns all acts of terrorism, and our resolve has only been strengthened by the attack on our soil on the 15th of March,” the Prime Minister said. “To see an attack in Sri Lanka while people were in churches and at hotels is devastating."

...her response to the Sri Lankan attacks was shit house...

“New Zealand rejects all forms of extremism and stands for freedom of religion and the right to worship safely. Collectively we must find the will and the answers to end such violence.’’

Yep. Truly shit house. What should she have said?

It's Brunswick. 90% of the world's soy production is sent there.

On another note, isn't the whole point of the hijab to cover the hair? Wonder what hair style she'll sneak out the front of her nun habit when she discusses the SL attack.

It's a private building. Reading the article would've told you.

Might have mentioned that it was an attack on Christians, you know same as how she mentioned Islam a billion times with relation to Christchurch. When Muslims die "Attacking worshippers in a mosque at their most vulnerable", Christians "We condemn all terrorism and defend freedom of religion".

I don't know if you see the subversion in the language but its reeks to me.

Oh God help us.

But nothing would be good enough for so many RWNJs so this shouldn't be a surprise.

I don't know... Easter to me always screams 'Christianity'. If the NZ massacre occurred during Ramadan it would be obvious without even saying the words 'Muslim' or 'Islam' that the victims would be religious worshippers from that particular religion.

It's all in the context.

I see what you're saying though, even though I don't quite agree. She could have been even more mindful I guess and mentioned Christianity by name.

 

[TimmeT]

What a joke PM not even 37% of the vote.

I know people who will constantly bang on about how Trump should not be PM because he lost the popular vote and then when they decided to post stuff about how good and wonderful Ardern is as a leader, others bought up the exact same stuff about Ardern and called out their hypocrisy. End result was a full meltdown over it with abusive names being used after previously trying to justify that it was ok in Ardern's case and again being pulled up on that fact.

 

[Bigjobss]

I don't hate her because she is a woman, I don't hate her because she responsed to the NZ attack, I hate her for the good old reason that she is a politician and her "oh so brave" crocodile tears and sour face that has been plastered all over the media don't seem genuine...because most politicians are self serving and manipulative scumbags.

 

[Balls In]

Jacinda might not be in charge of Sri Lanka but that hasn't stopped her from contradicting the Sri Lankans over the motivations of the bombers. Strange that she was so certain who was to blame for the Christchurch shootings yet its all "the investigation is in its early days - far too early to speculate" re Sri Lanka.

Probably because there'd been up till recently a Tamil insurrection in the country as well as all these Daesh f*ckwits now returning from defeat in Iraq and Syria. Also there are Buddhist etremist groups acting against Christians and other minority groups as well. This from 2012;

http://www.asianews.it/news-en/Sri-...entalists-attack-(also)-Christians-27590.html

Colombo (AsiaNews / Agencies) - The Christians of Sri Lanka are now also being targeted by radical Buddhist groups: several evangelical organizations have denounced the increase in attacks against different communities in the month of March. An anomaly for the Buddhist-majority country, where the tensions of ethnic origin - between Tamils and Sinhalese - are much more widespread than are those related to religions.

The warning was launched by the Protestant Barnabas Fund that deals with finance projects to help Christians in need. The group reports 10 attacks in Sri Lanka in March alone. "It is very rare - confirmed a member - to hear of so many anti-Christian incidents in a single month. This is a clear sign of a concerted plan on the part of radical Buddhist groups."

Among the attacks registered last month, the Barnabas Fund reports one that occurred on March 18 in Katuwana (Southern Province). Some Buddhists attacked the home of the pastor Pradeep Kumara. The pastor used the house to organize prayer meetings for his community. At the time of the attack, only the wife and children of the Reverend were home, who were threatened by attackers. The woman called her husband and the police, but the officers were not able to stop the destruction of the house.

Already in December 2012 some Buddhist fundamentalists had attacked the Rev. Kumara, destroying his car and threatening to kill him if he did not leave the church.

This series of attacks are part of a context of growing religious intolerance perpetrated by some radical Sinhalese-Buddhist groups, who have long been targeting the Muslim and - to a lesser extent - Christian communities. In particular, the Bodu Bala Sena (BBS) and the Sinhala Ravaya ("eco Sinhalese"), two extremist groups whose "mission" is to protect the Sinhalese population and and Buddhist religion...

2014

https://morningstarnews.org/2014/03/buddhist-nationalism-fuels-attacks-on-christians-in-sri-lanka-2/

(Morning Star News) – A top leader of one of Sri Lanka’s most militant Buddhist extremist groups led 250 people in an assault on a Christian leader and his family last month, according to sources in the country.

Based in the capital city of Colombo on the island nation’s western coast, Galagoda Aththe Gnanasara, general secretary of the Buddhist extremist Bodu Bala Sena, made the 71-mile trip to Sri Lanka’s central Kandy District to lead 250 villagers and 11 Buddhist monks to the premises of a Holy Family Church leader identified only as Pastor Susantha, according to the National Christian Evangelical Alliance of Sri Lanka (NCEASL).

After storming the pastor’s Asgiriya premises at about 6:30 p.m. on Feb. 16, the villagers and 11 Buddhist monks belonging to the Bodu Bala Sena demanded that he immediately stop worship services that take place there. As Pastor Susantha was explaining to Gnanasara his right to continue worship services, the mob dragged the church leader and his wife from their home and assaulted them, sources said.

“The mob punched, slapped and hit the pastor and his wife with their fists,” a Christian leader told Morning Star News. “The pastor and wife both suffered minor physical injuries.”

The Buddhist extremists also verbally abused the couple’s 18-year-old daughter, sources said.

The Bodu Bala Sena (BBS), translated as the Buddhist Power Force, is a Sinhalese Buddhist nationalist group founded by monks Gnanasara and Kirama Wimalajothi with headquarters in a facility in Colombo owned by the Buddhist Cultural Center, which Sri Lankan President Mahinda Rajapaksa opened in 2011. The BBS is responsible for much of the increase in persecution of Christians since 2012...

and just last week

https://www.nytimes.com/2019/04/21/world/asia/sri-lanka-religion-christians.html

...And in Sri Lanka, a toxic Buddhist nationalist political force has agitated against minority Christians and Muslims, dismissing them as relics of a British colonial era when the Buddhist majority itself was repressed.

“We see how these radical Christian groups from the West come here and try to convert Buddhists,” Galagoda Aththe Gnanasara Thero, a hard-line Buddhist monk in Sri Lanka, said in an interview before he was jailed for contempt of court last year. “We cannot allow this to happen anymore.”

A week ago, on Palm Sunday — the beginning of the Christian Holy Week that culminates in Easter — a mob from Sri Lanka’s Sinhalese Buddhist majority gathered at a Methodist building in the city of Anuradhapura, bombarding the building with stones and firecrackers and trapping worshipers inside.

Last year, Sinhalese throngs, spurred on by incendiary rhetoric from extremist Buddhist monks, carried out deadly attacks on Muslims near the city of Kandy, the latest in a series of anti-Muslim riots in Sri Lanka.

“Muslims and Christians, especially evangelical Christians, have been facing persecution for many years in Sri Lanka, but the scale and nature of today’s attacks are not comparable,” said Ruki Fernando, a Roman Catholic human rights activist in Colombo...

I mean, fair enough these attacks haven't brought out the death tolls we saw with these recent bombings, but there is such an undercurrent of ethno-religious and nationalist venom in Sri Lankan society, a society still recovering from a savage civil war, that it's harder there to point the finger at any one group in particular.

Why is this idiotic narrative being allowed to run wild??

One was a live streamed event, with a running commentary and a manifesto...


The other was a terrorist attack that had to be investigated to find each skerrick of information...

Problem is the blame for Christchurch in the lefts eyes doesn't rest with the shooter but with all white men on the right.

But now that their pet minority does it again it's "wait for the facts, lets not jump to conclusions". I'm fine with that except the double standards.

 

[CM86]

"The left"

Did the Christchurch shooter live stream it, explain why he was doing it, and have his own words explaining his motivation for it?

Do we have the same information on this latest terror attack?

The only reason they are even being linked, is because people want to use it as a wedge issue.



My stance is that we shouldn't use it to condemn all Muslims... The same way I wouldn't condemn all live streamers or facebook users etc.

He showed that a big part of his motivation came from these right wing extremist views that are becoming more and more socially accepted.
Who is becoming more accepting of Islamic extremism??

"pet minority"

Yes, he did explain why he was doing it but "the left" missed it and reported complete fallacies about his motivations and goals people on here parroted it.

I think that the motivations for the latest attack were hardly difficult to glean considering Mohammad al bombre and Ahmed al explosion were named within hours and yeah surprise surprise it all turned out to be accurate, Islamic Terror again.

Your stance maybe, but go to the first 30 pages of the Christchurch shooting and have a look at your comrades blaming everyone on the SRP that is right of Stalin for the shooting was a pretty big deal for a few days. Odd how you don't actually rule out condemning the people who actually got condemned as opposed to livestreamers and facebook users who literally no one blamed.

Yeah pet minority is accurate, because just like when my cat grabs onto me and kicks me leaving a scratch I don't blame him for it because he's a cat he isn't aware enough so I can't blame him. The left absolutely treats Islam the same way.

Yeah yeah, you're the realm victim.

If you really want to compare the two, and insist on using BigFooty for examples.
Can you explain why there was a conspiracy thread made about the Christchurch shooting within 24 hours, but there hasn't been one at all yet for this latest terrorist attack?...

I'm no victim mate, but your mates are inconsistent crabs.

I'll start a conspiracy thread if you like about Sri Lanka, I'll include in it the delusional claim that it's a retaliation for Christchurch because you know it's so easy to source bombs in 5 weeks and plan it all without getting caught in such a rush. Really comparing a conspiracy thread to the genuine beliefs of posters you scrape the bottom of the barrel there. I use bigfooty because we are all here and know the place and many of the posters, the mainstream ran the same delusions and lies about his motivations in spite of supposedly reading his 72 page shit show
