The problem is that islam and the west do not get along, they dislike the others values, and islam explicitly forbids mixing with 'kaffir'. This means there is zero chance of integration, as blacks and whites have, particularly through music. Second and third generation islamic immigrants are often more extreme. This creates more separation, more distrust, and more enmity. The rise in the right, and far right, and whack jobs like this guy, is a reaction. The cause is islam. There are two immediate choices. Civil war in 20 to 30 years, or we buy the houses and businesses off muslims and deport them to their ancestral homes. This isnt a big problem, many retire there, and spend a lot of time there, and this is the fair way to do it. Of course this course is unlikely. A third possibility is that islam polices itself. Defines a line in their ethics which is compatible with western values, and writes a new koran, creating a new western islam, much as we did with christianity. This means Wahabi islam, halal meat, the burkah etc must be rejected by muslims. They must accept womens rights, homosexuals, and mix with jews and christians. Some have already made this transition, but not enough, and are chastised by the bulk of islam, so this is also very unlikely to happen. So it is civil war. This action in NZ is just the start.

People get radicalised for a number of reasons. To blame an individual is simplistic. You need to just look at the psychology of conspiracy believers. Whether it be antivaxers, flat earthers or whatever. They deliberately seek information that support their beliefs and ignores any information that does not support it. It is social media / internet that tends to fed these people twisted views. If anything blame that. Trump may be the biggest idiot president US has ever had, but you cannot just blame him as he will be one of many of these smidgens of facts that have twisted the thinking and actions of wayward individual with obvious mental issues. Let's not forget the poor victims.

I am just blaming Trump. The shooter was also praising Brevik.

Twitter writing racist, anti-immigrant comments like Trump does
And yet you will fail to provide one single example of racism.
Been there, done that. Examples are always denied for whatever reason, or justified. I am tired on wasting my time on this. You don't believe it? Fine. I don't care.

When has he told people to commit acts of violence? Waiting....

Then don't bring it up. On the rare occasions that you folks provide an "example" it's not at all racist or anti-immigrant. It's almost always about protecting American borders from illegal entry.

It is quite odd that our left leaning PC types who run the place these days are utterly blind to this obvious fact. We had full warning in 1988 what muslims are like in Europe when Rushdie released his Satanic Verses book. They went ballistic. And then we (UK) invited another 5 million in... Denmark had muslim riots when one of its news papers printed some cartoons of muhammed. It has now closed its border with Germany to muslims, banned the burkah, banned halal meat. Denmark, much of Europe in fact, seems to be more aware of where this is going though. Which is good.

New Zealand shooting video: Gunman shoots people dead at mosque | Daily Mail Online[^] Sick bastard. He was Australian, he deliberately chose NZ because it was peaceful in order to drag it into the chaos other countries are in. I can see this escalating, each side upping the game.
The bigger question is how did he get into the country with all those guns?

When you pry the gun from my cold dead hands, be careful - the barrel will be very hot. - JSOP, 2013In a nutshell, as an Australian he could travel & live freely in both Australia & NZ (kind of like USA & Canada?). While here (NZ) he legally got a NZ "A category" firearms license - so he could legally buy rifles, shotguns and semi automatics with maximum 7 round capacity magazine (yep, that includes AR-15s, AK-47s etc). To have a larger capacity mag on the semi-auto's requires an "E category" license and getting that requires more hoop jumping, but not that hard really. He didn't but acquired high capacity magazines one way or another. Illegally, as he didn't hold the correct firearms license. Another thing, when you buy a firearm here, only the seller and the purchaser know thats' what you've bought, firearms themselves are not registered. So no one really knows just who has what at any time. I was surprised to find out that, actually, for all the scorn we give the USA about "gun rights", our gun laws are more open than the USA's. Australia's gun laws mean that he couldn't have bought those types of firearms in Australia.

He had a gun license and bought the weapons legally, but the semi-automatics were illegally modified with high capacity magazines (that requires a different gun license than the one he had).
