Arnaldo VallenillaEl día de hoy 15 de marzo, dos mezquitas en Christchurch, Nueva Zelanda, fueron víctimas de tiroteos por ataques terrorista que dejaron un saldo de 49 personas fallecidas y al menos 20 heridas, por lo que artistas como John Legend, Nick Jonas, el ex presidente estadounidense Barack Obama y muchos más rindieron homenaje a los caídos.
Es el segundo ataque terrorista registrado en los últimos 6 meses, ya que el pasado 9 de noviembre, Melbourne sufrió un ataque que el Estado Islámico asumió la autoría del mismo, donde hubo un fallecido tras ser apuñalado por el agresor, y este mismo fue abatido por la policía tras recibir tres disparos.
La cantante Bebe Rexha, Morgan Heritage, y el candidato presidencial por Estados Unidos, Beto O’Rourke también se pronunció al respecto.
Michelle and I send our condolences to the people of New Zealand. We grieve with you and the Muslim community. All of us must stand against hatred in all its forms.

We don't back down in the face of Islamophobia and racism at home or abroad. We stand up, stand together and make it clear that terrorism won't be met with indifference but with action that honors our diversity as the people of the world. Thinking of our friends in New Zealand.

With all the daily obstacles we already face as humanity, when will we start to pay attention and realize that hate gets us nowhere?! Let’s try to be loyal to the human race. ❤️ The unnecessary taking of each other’s lives doesn’t get us anywhere. We mourn with you #NewZealand! pic.twitter.com/nGHwKXIWvL

Atrocious events in New Zealand. Such a beautiful nation with the warmest of people. Heartbreaking.

This evil ideology has attacked mosques, synagogues, Sikh temples, black churches and more in the past few years. So many people killed while gathering to peacefully pray.
