Dear MEL Topic Readers,

Christchurch shootings: New Zealand falls silent for mosque victims

During Friday Prayer on March 15, a self-proclaimed white supremacist fired semi-automatic weapons and rifles at the Muslim worshippers at two mosques in Christchurch, New Zealand. 50 people were killed and over 50 people were wounded by the attack.

On March 22, the whole nation observed a silence to mark a week since the massacre. Thousands of people gathered in Hagley Park, near one of the mosques the shooting took place. The Muslim call to prayer was broadcast on national television and radio. Many non-Muslim women wore headscarves to show solidarity with Muslim women. Maori haka has been performed in many places to express their sorrow. The shooting also triggered the government to make a decisive move to ban all assaulted weapons.

Indeed, they are broken-hearted, but they are not broken, and the country is now more united than ever before beyond race, religion or generation.

Read the article and think what people could do to restore and enhance goodwill and harmony.
