TEHRAN (IQNA) – The Imam of Christchurch’s An-Nur (Al Noor) mosque in New Zealand– where 43 people were slain in the 2019 terror attack – said he was sadden by the news of the Buffallo mass shooting. There were interactions on Facebook and Twitter alone in the thousands, which was “not even comparable” to the Christchurch attack material viewings. The gunman then killed the guard, the commissioner said, then stalked through the store shooting other victims. Gendron published a 180-page racist manifesto heavily referencing the March 15 attack and, like the Christchurch terrorist, tried to livestream the killings. Fifty-one people were killed in the Christchurch terror attacks of March 15, 2019, at the An-Nur and Linwood mosques.
