Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern speaks at a memorial service on March 13 for the victims of the Christchurch terror attacks. Two years earlier, another man opened fire on worshippers at a Quebec mosque, killing six people. Two months after that, Brenton Tarrant walked into Al Noor Mosque, and then Linwood Islamic Centre. In its essence, it is a story about an act of white supremacy that is centered around white voices, white feelings and white heroism. It is a tragedy, one that must always be centred around the Muslim victims and their families.
