Earlier today whilst Muslims in New Zealand were attending Juma prayers, gunmen entered a couple of mosques and shot indiscriminately at worshippers. So far 49 people have lost their lives and dozens more are injured in hospital. The perpetrators are believed to be far-right extremists and one of them filmed the entire shooting on a bodycam which was live streamed on the internet. He also published a manifesto online, citing mass immigration as one of his motives. On this TMV Podcast, Salim speaks to Yaser, a Muslim based in Auckland, about the attacks and his initial reaction as well as the reaction of the New Zealand Muslim community and the public at large. Our thoughts and prayers are with the families of those who lost their lives. Al-fatiha.  --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/themuslimvibe/message
