https://au.news.yahoo.com/offensive-nz-religious-leader-slams-call-prayer-tribut..."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."
