Mustafa Tekinkaya, left, Imam Reza Abdul-Jabbar and Silvia Abdul-Jabbar say they’re still taking in the news that the Christchurch mosque gunman will be jailed for life. No sentence will ever be enough for what the Christchurch gunman did, an Invercargill Imam says. “It gives me goosebumps.”New Zealand was a peaceful country, and the tragedy of the March 15 attacks had united people, he said. For now, Abdul-Jabbar is pleased that the New Zealand Muslim community will be able to move on with their lives to some degree. “To the victims’ families, our prayers are with you and may the Almighty grant you patience and resilience in these difficult times.”
