Erdogan says New Zealand attack shows growing hostility to Islam vanguardngr.com vanguardnews
Turkey’s President Recep Tayyip Erdogan on Friday condemned the deadly attack on two mosques in New Zealand, saying it illustrated the growing hostility towards Islam “idly” watched by the world.The attacks on the Christchurch mosques left at least 49 dead, with one gunman –- identified as an Australian extremist — apparently livestreaming the assault and publishing a manifesto online.
“It is clear that the understanding represented by the killer that also targets our country, our people and myself, has started to take over Western societies like a cancer,” Erdogan said. After Friday prayers, dozens of people gathered outside Istanbul’s Fatih Mosque — one of the city’s main mosques — chanting condemnation of the attack and waving signs saying “Stop global terrorism” and “Crusader Savagery in New Zealand”.
