New Zealand is probably one of the most peaceful, tolerant country I have ever visited (no Aboriginal, American Indians genocide...)
and its reaction to latest racist acts is admirable...
at individual as well as institutional levels!

I am planning on going to the local Mosque of Evry (south of Paris) when I go back teaching there next month to show solidarity and compassion to my Muslim friends.
In France more than 500 people have been killed over the past 4 years by Islamic fanatics, many of them being french ‘muslims’ salafists
Innocent people killed almost every month.
I have missed any SUCH community/ religious /political movement and demonstration of solidarity, compassion, MORE IMPORTANTLY strong condemnations i.e. of Pere Hamel's murder (an old priest in his church) by 2 french Islamic terrorists. Any member of the Muslim community coming to pray in front of a church? protecting priests, Christians? Or to any of the killings in Paris/lately Strasbourg!
(qui ne dit mot...)
Maybe there has been, there is a real movement against extremism expressed as clearly and loudly by the muslim communities in Europe as the movement seen in NZ??

I have the feeling that only a strong rejection expressed clearly of ANY kind of racism/religious utter hate in this case, could take us closer to bring extremists of all sides... down!...
To end this religious war (happening in Europe and now in so many other places) that fanatics and populism seem to take further... every day
Say clearly NO to RACISM to HATE and to JIHAD!
