headlines on al-jazeera one o one east is coming up next to stay with us. it's regarded as one of the most picturesque and peaceful places on the planet. but in march this year new zealand's ideally image was shattered. when a gunman went on a rampage at 2 mosques in christ church. one o one east investigates why and how these horrific attack happened.

mohamed atta at am. linda susan strong as our ahmed read out the names of the day at a remembrance day service 2 weeks after the christchurch attack she was only just beginning to come to terms with the hora she witnessed time and the had. the names on p.d. i know them. i know them that i know them through businesses and know them through the most analysts through the through coming to the clinic and all those kind of things so. so it became a reality. on march 15th and it's strange in gunmen targeted 2 mosques during friday prayers

and streamed it online. 51 people were killed and scores of others seriously injured some people already at risk. we have to do what we could to save their lives. a trained nurse sarra lift the medical clinic where she was working and went to one of the mosques to help but even students on the front line of a ball epidemics in africa couldn't prepare her for the emotional challenge ahead this was completely and absolutely horrific situation even today i don't understand what the dr and of ritual to do such saying to god listing a village in no color or whatever day background i just don't understand the anger and the hatred drove and killed innocent people. sorry came to new zealand as a refugee 20 years ago having fled violence in

a holy land somalia. the mother and brother always go to friday prayers at this small school where 42 people were killed. as she tended to the injured at the other mosque across town it was hours before she knew if her family with saif the phones were getting overloaded so sometimes you couldn't get through the phones it was a little fool to not known that they were ok and when i saw them they were ok then i felt ok. ok feel lucky that there are. but it's the unlucky ones that haunt. us all the other people came us refugees who just a couple of. the injuries they sustained in those places but to be a fleet traumatized that's what our close in the think about it where do we go from

here to say you're going to be safe. it took a week before sorrow was ready to talk to her husband no come about the day of the attack i'm not there was a kid she said to me the one thing she said to me was not the same things that nobody should ever say and that was that knowledge to guess i was in a shop in my own way and i just sat down. like most new zealanders the couple full of the country was site from such attacks but both now believe the warning signs with their there was different a white supremacist a skinhead something passed since record the mafia has are once again from our point of view. just last september sorry says she came across these white supremacist stickers on the sign for one of the christchurch mosques. they had the stickers on everyone and i took the chair over to and then i went to their website

i think google you are very dangerous and also thinking. of you report the man said that he didn't report at the time. but any fight she had in police taking action as fall into a new law. exactly a month after the attack a man let out an anti muslim tirade outside one of the mosques the police guarding the scene didn't apprehend him the policeman said all is a freedom of speech is nothing to mistreat if it hit other people. it took a social media campaign a numerous reports to the police before they finally arrested and charged the man as much as his grace to come together solidarity and say you know we all from here and all that the truth is there is a strong racism in new zealand that exists among saying it's a large number of people but significant number of people and there are people who actually races but not even know about it.

here a destiny church followers believe there's only one true god and he's the christian . my the pentecostal service is being live on the internet for an estimated $10000.00 followers in new zealand and australia the vast majority maori. our apostle. albert ship may you amazing. there. to stay and not only for us as your people. but you stand for god jesus christ. like never before. under 3. let's give them a round of opinions as it comes to the pope. followers call the church found apostle be ship brian tam a key and it was our heritage as

a people with the maori were european to go back as far as the 1800s we were introduced to christ and it was great. after the attack to mickey in his fullaway's off to the muslim community that makes up little move than one percent of the population but he has strong views about their place in his native country you come into my country and so therefore you respect the the host country and the ways and what you come and then after attunement being here you run your life and your values and your religion like you did when you came from. disingenuous to the foundations of countries that have been built of years did he blames a clash of cultures foolish shooters action i think it's naive to think that.

very different audiology ism beliefs. could happily and how modestly live together i think that's a bit naive and almost ignorant they immigrations and new people come on the ground and they have firm beliefs and ideologies now we've seen the results of that in europe this is where the white supremacists have had the the deep hood and the buttons. in 2005 he calls the new zealand pol event evil when one of the members sworn only on the koran. and a week after the massacre he voiced outrage at the planning of the movie. praying before 2 minutes of silence fell victim. to be claimed the nation's i d g t was it strike prime minister on our state owned aways which is text by iran was so

that like it waves it was going to put the. the the the muslim priya through that i felt at that point as a christian in this country i had to say something but given the gravity of what happened wasn't a show of respect for the muslim community that new zealand is with banding alongside them after this horrific event you know what i don't think and i'm pretty sure to say this that i don't believe that the muslim community were upset about not having the preceding of the us i don't think they requested it i'm not quite sure where he's getting from that the muslim community did not ask for this it was a powerful just sort of inclusion i guess just some of those in his professional life who lead muslim is a government policy advisor but in his spare time he's an advocate for the country's muslim youth and for us it's a horrific incident we welcome all forms of solidarity that are willing to be there

but we don't welcome those hateful divisive years that come from people like brian tamaki and just sort of double standards. of his views in this particular situation on the one hand ok we want to defend muslims and protect them on the one hand you know stand for anything that allows for them to freely express their religion and for that to be you know a showcase publicly because it's against his basically his racist hateful views. and 10 mckee's views can be dangerous according to former u.s. government intelligence analyst paul buchanan this gets back to the vast pool of enablers and accomplices is you know if you have people of his stature. be. outright islamophobia you have the possibility that one of his followers may decide to take up arms and defense of christianity or in defense of the new zealand

way of life. now a private security consultant buchanan has lived in new zealand for the past 20 years he doubts the christchurch killer was a true lone wolf if there were other like minded people still out there i mean he was part of a community that was both physical in the south island and then why he was being cheered on and real time during the mass murders including by people who claim to be in new zealand. was just 6 when he arrived in new zealand with his mother and siblings from somalia he says like most refugees he battled racism all his life we feel like you know we have to fight just not only to be. and to express how i think to express our religion. and he says he knows what it's like to be targeted by white supremacists getting chased by skinheads you don't expect

the scot to suddenly turn around. you knowing he's a skinheads and people pretend in life we don't have that history here in new zealand christchurch is wrong on for its being a hotbed of white supremacy in this country. in the hours after the christchurch attack prime minister just seemed. was quick to condemn the shooter we were not a target because we are a safe for those who fight. we were not true isn't for this act of violence because we can darn rices them because we are in on clay for extremism. we would chosen for the very fact that we none of these things her response was widely praised around the wound but to google it month it was deeply flawed this is not. denying the experience of everything that is us everything that is all that

racism that hatred that exists in this nation. and he says he another's in the muslim community who call.
