Just like every Friday, people had gathered in a mosque in Christchurch, New Zealand, to offer the Friday prayer (also known as Salat-Al-Juma) when minutes
later an Australian
young man walked up to the door and started shooting with his assault rifle.
The Gunman was welcomed by an old man, even when the Gunman had the gun in his hand when he walked up to the mosque's door.
The pain of the drastic massacre has echoed not only in New Zealand but also all over the world. And because of social media being so common in this world, everybody was able to see the live footage which the self-titled white supremacist who killed 50 people in the mosque has recorded by going live on a social media app.
Brendan Tarrant a terrorist from Australia killed people who were from Jordan, Egypt, Somalia, Pakistan, and India. So when Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern gave a statement hours later after the attack, it was not only New Zealand who was listening to her but also other countries around the World. She said, " It is clear that this can now only be described as a terrorist attack". Being very swift and convincing, Ms. Ardern described Tarrant as a "terrorist". She proved wrong to the people who think that government officials would never call a white person terrorist even if the attack was politically motivated. She later comforted the victims of Christchurch, as simple as wearing a black scarf, as to show respect, she said that "they are us", and later after a few days, in the parliament, she made a bold and small statement starting with the Islamic greeting "as salaam alaikum".
A few hours after the attack, Ms. Ardern said that the Government will strictly change the country's lax gun law "within 10 days".
Ever since her first statement after the attack, the entire world is praising her for her leadership.
