49 Dead, Dozens Wounded in New Zealand
Mosque Terror Attacks; President Trump Says…
Anderson Cooper 360 Degrees, Mar. 16, 2019.
Article Commentary
“But the mosque killings were something new, something off the chart. This was organized,
planned, slaughter on a large scale of the innocent, carried out by a killer or killers with a head full
of militant trash-the usual rubbish of white supremacy, with its fear and loathing of immigrants.”

Mosque Terror Attacks; President Trump Says…

“But the mosque killings were something new, something off the chart. This was organized,
planned, slaughter on a large scale of the innocent, carried out by a killer or killers with a head full
of militant trash-the usual rubbish of white supremacy, with its fear and loathing of immigrants.”
In this viewpoint for the New York Times, the New Zealand writer Steve Braunias describes his
country’s reaction to the Christchurch mosque attacks of March 2019. Noting that New Zealand
had until that point very little direct experience with terrorism, he describes the shock with which
the nation realized that it was no longer immune to that international phenomenon. However,
Braunias also takes care to acknowledge that New Zealand has long struggled with other serious
social issues, including racism and anti-immigrant sentiment, both of which are believed to have
played a role in motivating those responsible for the Christchurch attack.

As you read, consider the following questions:
1. It is very difficult to stop extremists who are determined to attack undefended targets such as
mosques and churches. As such, what can be done to stop those who are susceptible to
extremist ideology before they become determined to act on it?
Related Subjects

Terrorism
Mosque Shootings, Christchurch, New Zealand,

2. What is the connection between intolerance and terror?
3. What lessons can New Zealanders draw from mass shootings, the 11 September 2001
attacks, or other acts of terror in the United States?

TE ATATU, New Zealand — We’re Kiwis. We’re that place where Peter Jackson made those endless
hobbit movies. We’re five million people spread out on two imaginatively named islands — North Island
and South Island. We’re the land of the long white cloud that stretches over the snow-capped peaks of
the Southern Alps, over the sticky tidal mangrove swamps of the north, over the black shingle beaches
crawling with seals and sea lions to the west, over the white sands of the east where Captain Cook,
onboard the Endeavour 250 years ago on Oct 6, 1769, first sighted an island nation already
established by Maori.
We’re a long way from anyplace, and that’s the point of New Zealand: We like it like that. We’re lucky
here. We’re out of the picture. We’re too distant and obscure for terror cells to bother infiltrating. We’re
all good.
Except now we have to reckon with the tragedy and the grief and the awful, deepening shock of the
terrorist attack in Christchurch. News came slow. At first it was described as multiple shootings, and
that sounded bad, very bad, but the mind contained it — surely the figure was less than 10. But then the
police confirmed 40 dead. An hour later, 49 dead. And then the survivors began describing the shooting
and the victims: “One little boy, Somali, maybe 5 years old. He was a very nice boy.” The bodies in the
mosque, waiting to be identified.
It doesn’t make a lick of sense. This sort of thing an attack, an armed moron with a mission
statement, three accomplices running amok in a flat, romantic city, with its gentle Avon River and its
cherry blossom in spring — simply doesn’t belong here.
When we go about mass killing, we go about it furtively. The Bain family of five, shot at dawn by a
deranged family member in Dunedin. David Gray, the lone gunman who shot and killed 13 neighbors in
Aramoana. They were New Zealand killings, in the New Zealand manner — seething tensions suddenly
unleashed, a mad dog gone wrong. They had recognizable national characteristics.

But the mosque killings were something new, something off the chart. This was organized, planned,
slaughter on a large scale of the innocent, carried out by a killer or killers with a head full of militant
trash — the usual rubbish of white supremacy, with its fear and loathing of immigrants.

But the mosque killings were something new, something off the chart. This was organized, planned,
slaughter on a large scale of the innocent, carried out by a killer or killers with a head full of militant
trash — the usual rubbish of white supremacy, with its fear and loathing of immigrants.
But the terrorists weren’t hitting out at some separate, isolated community. Muslims in New Zealand are
part of the fabric of everyday life. Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern is at her best when she addresses
issues of national identity. She noted in her news conference held to announce the tragedy that many
of the victims of the shooting were migrants. “They have chosen to make New Zealand their home and
it is their home,” she said. “They are us.” The terrorists killed New Zealanders.
The attack, I confess, feels imported: the apparent killer who is Australian, the references in what
appears to be his so-called manifesto to right-wing provocateurs and white supremacists in America
and elsewhere. But it would be false and gross to describe this as some kind of end of innocence or
solely a foreign import. Life in New Zealand is lovely, but it also comes with deep social problems
brought on by poverty and homelessness, constant race-based tensions and, yes, lingering resentment
of migrants from Asia, Africa and the Middle East. Child abuse is a recurring national shame. Violence
against women is considered so rife that New Zealand is routinely described as possessing a rape
culture. All that and worse in our beautiful archipelago at the end of the world. But at least we seemed
out of the terrorist loop.
Turns out we were evidently living in a fool’s paradise. We were otherwise preoccupied with the
pleasures and challenges of everyday life. On the day of the mosque killings, tens of thousands of
school kids marched in 40 demonstrations across New Zealand, demanding action on climate change.
It was a wonderfully liberating sight, something meaningful and urgent, colorful and good-humored.
They carried terrific signs and banners. Social media posted numerous photos from the marches.
There was a cracking one of a bearded old geezer called John Geiser, in the North Island town of
Masterton, watching the demonstration go by while holding a sign of his own. It read: WELL DONE
YOUNG PEOPLE.
Well done, John, I thought. I retweeted it, with a comment: “Hey good on him! Great guy — respect. NZ
is being a great NZ today.” That went up at about 11 a.m. The first reports of the mosque attacks
started coming in about two hours later. NZ, suddenly, sickeningly, was being a horrifying NZ.
