Seems necessary to post this after #ElPaso “America Has A White Nationalist Terrorism Problem. What Should We Do?” Wrote this after ⁦@Morning_Joe⁩ segment in April, problem remains & we’ve done nothing fpri.org/article/2019/0…
Pattern of white supremacist inspired attacks is remarkably similar, but directionally diffferent. Jihadists were top-down driven (Directed, Networked, Inspired) But these domestic attacks are bottom-up (Inspired, now leading to Networked)
now have “ Cascading Terrorism” from domestic extremism, where successful attacks inspire others on verge of violence move forward. #Gilroy followed by #ElPaso. I’m worried today’s attack might touch off others msnbc.com/morning-joe/wa…

Crash course: I teach a paper called 'The Anthropology of Evil' at @Otago. It just got very real. This thread will unpack some ideas from the course in relation to the #ChristchurchTERRORISTattack. Questions, not answers. #anthropology #anthrotwitter #ChristchurchMosqueAttack [1]
When the world is shattered, human meaning-making kicks in fast. We try to 'locate' evil within existing worldviews, including theological, secular, and academic. We collectively ask what/who/where, & WHY?! This gives us the social resources to assign blame, prescribe action. [2]
What is 'evil'? An inherent quality of a person? Their intention/motivation? The action itself? The consequences of the action? Watch how the media and legal system frames this for #ChristchurchTerrorAttack. And what about a white supremacist who has never committed violence? [3]

THREAD to honor those killed in #ChristchurchMosqueAttack

And do not say about those who are killed in the way of Allah "They are dead." Rather, they are alive, but you perceive (it) not.
Surah Al-Baqarah, 154
Thank you @KhaledBeydoun & @Abdella6if for documenting lives lost. #RememberTheVictims (Follow them, not me.)
In addition to 50 massacred & martyred, there are 31 injured patients in the hospital. 9 of them are in critical condition.

[Thread] I research #Islamophobia for a living & I can honestly tell you that the views of the gunman in the #ChristChurch #mosqueattack are not & should not be excused as some "fringe" ideology.
I read the 74-page manifesto & the killer's talking points are the same ones I read & hear on the DAILY from mainstream politicians, anti-Muslim figureheads, & the media.
The gunmen was obsessive about white birth rates and fertility like @SteveKingIA & @geertwilderspvv are.

Who is #BrentonTarrant really? #FiveEyes reminds at #Gladio? Inzernational connections in the #ChristChurch #PsyOps via @williamcraddick disobedientmedia.com/2019/03/eviden…

(3) #Christchurch - Why were the videos, showing two additional gunmen removed from social(ist) media? Why the narrative of a "single culprit" if they were additional arrests made by NZ police. Why it was stated that "a 5th suspect" did flee to Israel?

Stellen wir uns mal vor, der serbischstämmige Journalist Ćevapčić vom @ORF oder @biber_mitscharf fährt nach Belgrad auf die Homeparty eines alten Kollegen und Freunds Matuseković.1/
Er weiß ganz genau: sein Freund steht mittlerweile weit rechts und schwadroniert regelmäßig öffentlich von Großserbien. Deshalb hält er ihn "politisch für einen Wirrkopf", aber sie haben halt zur selben Zeit im ORF bzw MQ gehackelt, darum stößt er mit ihm an.2/
Vor Ort ist neben einigen komischen Promis und rechtsextremen Hools auch Fußballkommentator Bekmanov, der jetzt Akkordeon in einer "Gipsy"-Kapelle spielt und singt. Er singt, sagen wir, die serbische Version eines Dylan-Songs.3/

[Thread] As long as people cannot talk about our problems, there will be more retribution. If you dismiss Brenton, there'll be another one eventually. It's worse than tragic.
#brentontarrant #Christchurch #ChristchurchMosqueAttack #ChristchurchShooting
Brenton Tarrant was not a psychopath. He was not born without empathy. There will be more like him, as long as this continues. Why? Because he was traumatised, rocked to his core by what he saw.
When he saw Ebba Akerlund, the partially deaf girl dismembered in the street by a Muslim terrorist attacker's truck, he couldn't ignore it. When he saw Rotherham, he couldn't ignore it.

This is horrific: A witness says many people have been killed in a mass shooting at a mosque in the #NewZealand city of #Christchurch. apnews.com/76b0cafae9fe47… h/t @rerutled
It is Friday and if the #Christchurch Al Noor mosque shooting happened during Friday congregational prayers, then it would be full of worshippers. Len Peneha says he saw a man dressed in black enter and then heard dozens of shots, followed by people running from mosque in terror.
An eyewitness inside the mosque says he heard shots fired and says at four people were lying on the ground and "there was blood everywhere". radionz.co.nz/news/national/… #Christchurch
