A right-wing Australian senator blamed 'immigration' for the New Zealand mosque attacks. Australian Prime Minister Scott Morrison rushed to condemn the statement.
By Rick Noack Rick Noack Foreign affairs reporter focusing on Europe and international security Email Bio Follow March 15 at 8:31 AM When the Islamic State went on a deadly killing spree across Europe in 2015 and 2016, the group’s sympathizers never shied away from defending the killing of people they said were “infidels.” By living in Western societies, they argued, Westerners were by default reasonable targets.
“The real cause of bloodshed on New Zealand streets today is the immigration program which allowed Muslim fanatics to migrate to New Zealand in the first place,” Anning said in a written statement.Australian Prime Minister Scott Morrison rushed to condemn Anning’s statement, writing on Twitter that “remarks by Senator Fraser Anning blaming the murderous attacks by a violent, right-wing, extremist terrorist in New Zealand on immigration are disgusting.
Former prime minister Malcolm Turnbull said Anning is a “disgrace to the Senate, and what is worse, by spreading hatred and turning Australians against each other, he is doing exactly what the terrorists want.”
