P. Kelly (The Weekend Sun, March 22) makes a valid point regarding the Christchurch massacre. The gunman was not from New Zealand, so this should not cause more division in our country between races.

It was the most horrific incident to happen here. We are deeply saddened by the event and I am sure everyone in NZ stood in silence and respect, but I believe our Prime Minister went too far with the Muslim thing. We are not a Muslim country.

Labour has gone as far as to remove our Christian prayer from Parliament, then the PM dares to play an Islamic prayer in Parliament. We also had patched gang members supposedly guarding a Mosque. Were they licensed, like security guards have to be? But of course it is white supremacists that are the problem, apparently! Something is sadly wrong with this whole picture.
