Islamophobia post 9/11 responsible for NZ mosque attacks, says Pakistan

Saturday, 16 March 2019 | PTI | Islamabad

Pakistan Prime Minister Imran Khan on Friday said that increasing “Islamophobia” after the 9/11 terror attacks in the US was responsible for the attack on two mosques in New Zealand that killed at least 49 worshippers.

“Strongly condemning” the terror attack on the mosques in New Zealand, Prime Minister Khan tweeted: “This reaffirms what we have always maintained: that terrorism does not have a religion. Prayers go to the victims and their families.”

At least 49 people were killed in attacks on the Al Noor Mosque in central Christchurch and the Linwood Mosque in the city’s outer suburb, in what appeared to be the worst attack on Muslims in a western country.
