And a Turn for the Worse: New Zealand Mosque Leader Blames 50-Victim Massacre on the Jews

Last week, the media was all about the New Zealand mosques massacre, as it related to gun control. President Trump’s protection of free speech rights on American college campuses? Not so much (here).
After the 50-casualty murder spree across two Islamic centers, the members of New Zealand’s government and media — including Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern — made a remarkable and very Democrat-friendly and move: It embraced Islam in a show of support (here and here).
Fair enough.
But the situation’s grown a bit dicey, as a well-known New Zealand Muslim leader — Chairman Ahmed Bhamji of the Mount Roskill Masjid E Umar mosque — has blamed the attack on Jews.
At a rally in Auckland’s Aotea Square Saturday, he had this to say:
“I really want to say one thing today. Do you think this guy was alone? … I want to ask you, where did he get the funding from? I will not mince words. I stand here and I say I have very, very strong suspicion that there is some group behind him and I am not afraid to say I feel that Mossad is behind this.â€
