Christchurch shootings at two mosques leave 49 dead, Australian arrested in relation to terror attack
At least one gunman with a semi-automatic weapon attacked worshippers gathering for Friday prayers in two locations: a mosque at Deans Avenue in central Christchurch and another mosque in the nearby suburb of Linwood.
Australian Prime Minister Scott Morrison confirmed one of the people taken into custody was an Australian-born citizen.
The ABC has identified Grafton man Brenton Tarrant as the man visible in livestreamed footage of the attack.

Two improvised explosive devices (IEDs) were found on a nearby vehicle, but defence force officers disarmed one and are still working on disarming the second.

El Grauniad - Rightwing extremist wrote manifesto before livestreaming Christchurch shooting
The man who livestreamed himself attacking a Christchurch mosque and murdering at least 40 people identified himself online before the rampage as Australian citizen Brenton Tarrant.
On a now-deleted Twitter account, Tarrant posted multiple photos of what appear to be machine gun magazines and a link to what is being described as a manifesto for his actions.
The 74-page document starts off quoting a Dylan Thomas poem, Do not go gentle into that good night, and then moves onto a rant about white genocide.
Tarrant outlines his motivations: including to “create an atmosphere of fear” and to “incite violence” against Muslims while offering up autobiographical details.

It's about 55,000 killed in Muslim attacks every year. We'd need 3 of these attacks every day to even up the rate, and then we'd still need to make up for the previous 1300 years.
Also, since Muslims are now supposedly the left (got a couple in congress even), I see you've given up on LGBT rights and women's rights and anti-slavery and freedom from religion and any objection to antisemitism. Nice. I really don't see anything wrong with openly fighting you now.

Your list is exclusively terrorism.
Islam is not limited to grand scale attacks. If a Muslim decides to quietly murder somebody in a hate crime against Christianity, that doesn't count. For example, a child who gets baptized Catholic has left Islam and thus all Muslims have a religious duty to kill that child.

You still don't have any citation for your number.
Nor what your "killed by Muslims" means.
Hey, look, Brazil is mostly Catholic, I bet from the 56,101 killings in 2017 at least 50,000 were "killed by Christians" [wikipedia.org]. I wonder what "killed by Christians" number would be worldwide.

Thanks for asking! I can trace my family tree back for centuries, and no, to our knowledge there are no known murders or rapists or similar that would invite such attention as you describe.
My family has invaded other people's countries to wage war on them, enslave them, steal what they have, kill them for their choice of god.
So, you're planning on killing my children based on information you don't have with an eye for an eye attitude. Are you sure you're not muslim?

So do you think killing a bunch of innocents in New Zealand is somehow justified by the amount of people that Saudi Arabia, Iran, and a bunch of other Islamic countries kill?
If not, why is that even relevant to this discussion?

Killing is not justified. Anywhere. Anytime. Where the "buck stops", or should stop, is at the door of the (mostly liberal) policy makers and immigration people who have been systematically diluting "1st world western" culture since the 1960's. Anything goes as long as it makes men look stoopid, and anything to do with faith/church is pissed on openly. And as the foundations of society crumble (M.Zuckerschwein is a big part of this the last 10 years), all hell breaks loose. We don't want ghettos / enclaves like in Sweden where even their cops fear to go and the 'refugees' rule. We don't want to land up having another Hitler "cleansing" Europe and the west. We have a mess. Meanwhile, you don't see streams of people lining up to migrate TO Iran, Bangladesh, India, etc, etc. Racism is real, we all deep-down fear anyone different. Some of the source countries for migration are very racist, but once in the west they are saints in public and demand 'equality'. It is now a delicate road forward for governments that have compromised and compromised over decades to try and now define their country and look after their own 'home' interests over those set by the UN / EU and such.

This is why Montana is such a great State. They used to have bumper-stickers that said: "Gut shoot the khallows at the border!" and "Don't Californiate Montana with your contract programmers!"

How long have you lived there? Can't be that long. People started talking about the "American Redoubt" 30 years ago and began infiltrating across the border from the panhandle of Idaho. It sucks. I have even heard that there's a "Project Little Europe" in the vicinity of Whitefish now.
Maybe more have arrived from California, but they're far from the first.

No muslim is innocent. They are just acting as innocent as they can (they still show their hands all the time the treasonous media just doesn't report it) while they are the minority. Read their own religious texts on the matter. They are encouraged to lie and infiltrate and then breed and rape and convert or kill. Fuck them and their rat kids. Just look at that stupid rat bitch from Minnesota smirking at all the stupid whites who voted for her or allow her to hold her seat. She's doing it for her religion(actually a political power grabbing system), you dumb fuckers. She only values America as a purse for their global efforts.
