If someone shots up a place of worship, it is reasonable to assume they did it base off of religion, not race.
Not necessarily.

Sorry, copied the other again.
Of/c, other politicians immediately fall into the shutdown mode of "his views have no place in our society" etc, trying to control mindthink far and why. The amount of thought repression is today's main attribute.
If someone shots up a place of worship, it is reasonable to assume they did it base off of religion, not race.
Or maybe the "place of worship" is likely to be an easy target: lots of people (well, if the religion is popular), and typically a so-called "gun free" zone (here one of two of the mosques had a local Muslim dude with a gun) ...
Comparing, if someone shoots up a school, are they doing it based on education?
Plus, anyone "shooting up" (rather than "blowing up") is probably not aiming for maximum killing effect (as with Christian church bombings in Egypt etc), and is likely going with other reasons for their choices in the endeavor.

The Mainfesto reads like some kinda trolling joke (all I know I learned from video games?).
Clearly there are reasons.
"Tarrant peppers his manifesto with contemporary recollections of terrorist attacks throughout Europe perpetrated by Islamic terrorists, as well as so-called historical aggression by Muslims. The manifesto is broadly characterized by a coherent and twisted ideology with a call to action, motivation, historiography, and explicit design. This in many ways mirrors the tactics of ISIS and other radical Islamic terrorist organizations.
"ISIS propaganda minister Abu Mohammad al-Adnani frequently encouraged would-be terrorists to design their attacks in order to cause as much shock as possible to spark interest in the ISIS cause."
Seems that not so many are interested in NZ, it's almost blipped out of the USA media news already.
“I have been deeply saddened by the appalling events in Christchurch today. Prince Philip and I send our condolences to the families and friends of those who have lost their lives.
I also pay tribute to the emergency services and volunteers who are providing support to those who have been injured.
At this tragic time, my thoughts and prayers are with all New Zealanders.

If you actually read the Manifesto, you'd know he rants (indeed, possibly in parody) about any number of subjects, including Global Warming (vis-a-vis "Green Nationalism"), etc. Determining he is a "rightwing Trump-supporting extremist" from this is merely a MSM rhetorical flourish.
As is typical in Manifestos, he states his main problem (low white birth rates, ie The Great Replacement), but manages to digressively usurp any number of side issues along the way (see the 8 octants in the title page already). Sort of like the "Green New Deal" lurching all over the place, rather than merely be concerned about the End of the World in 12 years.
You can also see the effect of Big Media: anyone can buy Unabomber Manifesto from Amazon for cheap bucks, while they are trying to hide Tarrant's rantings even on the Internet for some reason?

Facebook, 6 months ago. Hardly sounds radicalized.
"Hello everyone my name is Brenton Tarrant and I am visitong pakistan for the first time. Pakistan is an incredible place filled with the most earnest, kind hearted and hospitable people in the world, and the beauty of hunza and nagar valley in autumn cannot be beat.
Unfortunately many tourists are choosing other countries due to the stress, difficulty and steep requirements of obtaining a Pakistani visa.
Hopefully in the near future the Pakistani government and Mr Imran Kahn will make the necessary changes to the visa program so to encourage tourism and make it viable once more for the world to come and experience the beauty of Pakistan"
Absolutely disgusting.

I admire the AU Senator's boldness in speaking his mind (often rare in politics today), but those who believe in so-called "free speech" are really projecting their whimsical idea of USA circa 1960s/70s. The rest of the World has never valued it much.
Much of this guy's manifesto is just boilerplate stuff you see with any various "rage-against" groups.
E.g. the Socialist Alliance that dominates the campus talking points here would not find it out of place (though the fear of "Ethnic replacement" would need to be replaced by climate doom or something).
Two examples:

I encourage everyone to read his manifesto if you want to know his story as it offers the actual insight into what he was thinking instead of allowing the media to tell you.
But to summarize: the guy believes non-Europeans (Muslims) are taking over European nations through immigration and high birth rates. He hopes his actions will have polarizing effects that will ultimately save Europe from this. He's not too different from the Norway shooter in this regard.

Confusingly, he's an Aussie in Kiwi-Land (NZ) doing this "for Europeans" ... (and of/c USA MSM makes it about Trump/USA somehow).
Maybe if the Christians would move out of Nigeria, then the Muslims will depart New Zealand.
