New Zealand Christian preacher speaks out!!!!

"A controversial New Zealand religious leader has come under fire for rejecting the Muslim call to prayer, which is set to recognise the 50 lives lost during the Christchurch terror attacks one week ago.

Families and the community are expected to return to the scene of the terror attacks on Christchurch’s Masjid al Noor and the Linwood mosque for the first time for prayers on Friday.

Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern announced that two minutes of silence will follow the 1.30pm call to prayer, which will be broadcast on television and radio.

Thousands are expected to show their support outside the mosque, with many planning to hold hands in a human wall in a show of solidarity and reassurance.

But while police and contractors finalise preparations for Islam’s sacred day of worship, which will include a memorial for the dead, Destiny Church’s Brian Tamaki has slammed the decision, accusing Ardern of abusing her Prime Ministerial power and turning NZ into a “Muslim nation”.

“This is Offensive to all True Christians in Aotearoa … Our National Identity is at stake,” he posted on Twitter.

“PM Jacinda Ardern has abused her Prime Ministerial decree in allowing ‘Allah as the only true God to be sounded in Muslim prayer across the airwaves in our nation tomorrow.”

Tamaki, who in 2016 said that gays, murderers and sinners were to blame for earthquakes, was met with an immediate and brutal social media reaction for his latest comments.

“Don’t pray it then,” one person tweeted.

“The space is for others to pray it unashamed, unafraid – as they should always have had the absolute freedom to. Allow them this comfort amid the nightmare.

“Keep your mouth shut and attempt to open your heart to humanity in the way that God asks you to.”

“Yeah nah. I’ll be listening to the call to prayer alongside other Christians, Muslims, Jewish and other faiths and people of no faith,” another wrote.

“Brian, you inane pathetic cult leader, YOU are not us… NZ is a tolerant nation of many faiths, including your so-called “church,” another wrote.

Thirty foreign dignitaries are expected to attend, as well as Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern, who will speak.

Prime Minister Ardern on Thursday announced all military-style semi-automatic weapons and assault rifles would be banned with immediate effect in the hope such a tragedy never happens again.

Legislation to introduce the ban, which also includes high-capacity magazines and parts that can turn legal guns into assault weapons, is expected to be introduced by April 11."



This'll bring the ratbagicals out into the open, Igor - get ready to photograph and list them.... make sure they get to The Lord Of The Files .....

Someone needs to tell this preacher that he also worships the same God as Islam. The one creator god.  Wink

It is a mark of respect from all people of goodwill

50 people were butchered, dozens more wounded and families torn apart

I'm sure God would understand a prayer being offered for them

God comes in many cloaks Allah, God Almighty Jesus Christ, Buddha they are all linked to the great universal force called God

This is being done in the spirit of peace not of reprisal

For God's sake leave them alone to get on with the healing and it is the Country that needs to heal

The Prime Minister isn't turning New Zealand into Islam, she is simply offering the olive branch to a section of it that has been grievously wounded

just another one eyed preacherman...

it is all this "competition" between religious  groups  thats the main cause of the tragic event in Christchurch..


I wonder if this man lifted a finger to help those suffering as a consequence of this...

or is he too busy on twitter..

spreading more disharmony.. Cheesy Cheesy Angry Angry

Just don't encourage any religion.

We have science to 'splain things now.

I do believe most people try to adhere to at least a semblance of one.

I think most people mean no harm, Cods.

The Prime Minister is not supposed to get involved with religion, she's supposed to help all the homeless in NZ, and there's quite a few in Auckland

I think 2 minutes of silence conducted sensitively is precisely what the the people of New Zealand need right now.

I doubt you'd complain if it were a Christian service.

Religion is about the worst source for a moral code as they're essentially self serving political organisations.

The morality preached in religion is basically just codified rules taken from society.

Personally Moth , I feel nothing , zip , maybe if it had been in Auckland it might be different , if anything good comes of this it might be a recognition by migrants that they need to assimilate

An extremely ignorant understanding of what religion means to most people.

You are, as so many do on here, superimposing your own prejudice onto the agency of others.

It is a most unworthy source of arrogance.
