New Zealand You Have My Respect

New Zealand you have my respect💚

If any nation wants to learn how to treat a minority in times of need, please use New Zealand & it’s Prime Minister as a case study. ‬

‪*50 Muslims got attacked & killed by an Australian born Terrorist while praying at a mosque* 

‪How did NZ, a tiny island of only 4 million people respond? ‬

‪- entire population mourned genuinely ‬

‪- called it a terrorist attack when the attacker was white ‬

‪- Raised $9million‬ + for the families affected 

- All funeral costs to be undertaken by the Government of New Zealand 

- Any person caught spreading hate news, or the attack video to be jailed up to 14 years. 

- banned Guns within hours of the incident

- Huge number of people gathered all over the 

country to lay flowers outside mosques and show their support within hours 

- Kiwi people including the New Zealand police & even gang members of the country are patrolling outside mosques while Muslims pray

- The Azaan to be played publicly on National TV , Radio and every Mosque around New Zealand at today’s Friday prayers 

- Government fast tracked visas to 24 hours to allow families of affected to enter New Zealand

- Kiwi people opened their homes to provide free shelter, food and support to any Muslim

- Non Muslim Kiwi girls wore the hijab to make Hijabi girls feel safer

- The New Zealand media made sure they covered the Muslim voice in depth and detail, with full interviews with the families of those affected, front page headlines for days and still continuing

- The Prime Minister Jacinda wore a hijab and personally visited the Muslim community on a daily basis to provide love, support & updates all while wearing a hijab. She hugged Muslims and genuinely cried with them 

- The New Zealand Parliament invited an imam to start a Parliament session with an Islamic prayer (First time in History)

-Flags flew at half mast

- The Kiwi people filled up parks and beaches with art work , flowers , candles to show they stand with the Muslim community shoulder to shoulder 

- Non Muslim Kiwis are actively staying around Muslims to make sure they feel welcome and at home. They are sitting, talking & eating with them. 

If this happened in another country, it’s likely the news wouldn’t have even made it to the second page of the News Paper.

Alhamdulillah, Thank you , New Zealand, you have made a special place in the hearts of 1.8 billion people.. forever.
