I woke up to the shocking news this morning of the murder of 49 people in two mosques in Christchurch by a white supremacist from Australia. The massacre was especially cold blooded since the congregants of at least one mosque offered the killer their hospitality before he took out his gun and shot them.
It never ceases to strike me that people who fear and hate obsessively always turn into monsters themselves. Now we have the white racist mirror image of Islamist terrorism, the new "White ISIS." As for white supremacy, it's a big bamboozle to get poor people to fight and die for rich men's causes.
My deepest sympathies and solidarity with the Muslim community of Christchurch for so terrible a calamity, and for so many losses.
Solidarity with Muslim neighbors that they may feel safe and at home.
