Yeah. You would think that NZ would be one of the safest places in the world, but nope. I wonder how did the shooter got hold of an automatic rifle.

5 semi automatic rifles and a pump action shotgun.

Disappointing the tour was cancelled since we play so little cricket. I guess boys are not in the right frame of mind to play.

Guess we'll just have to wait till September to watch red ball cricket.

Hope the BD, PAK, AFG teams are able to secure security for jummah during the WC - there has already been a white nationalist attack on a UK mosque in the recent past, to go along with the shooting at the Quebec City mosque couple years ago.

Dont watch the clip. Its horrendous.

NoName · #10 March 14, 2019, 11:01 PM

Reading the news seems like an absolute massacre happened, may even be worse than shootings in the US

Firebreaker · #11 March 14, 2019, 11:02 PM

From the video it seems that the guy killed at least dozen of people on spot.

Firebreaker · #12 March 14, 2019, 11:02 PM

A bit off topic but isn't Soumya Sarkar hindu what is he doing in the mosque?

vayuu1 · #13 March 14, 2019, 11:09 PM

I pray for victims and Bangladesh team stay safe

godzilla · #14 March 14, 2019, 11:11 PM

Wtf. That's crazy. Hate crime I presume?

Habib · #15 March 14, 2019, 11:11 PM

OMG. What a shocking news to start the day with. Alhamdulillah they are safe. And RIP to victims.

Firebreaker · #16 March 14, 2019, 11:16 PM

Tour called off. Rightly. Security should never be compromised no matter where you are.

Terrorism is a pan world problem, all the countries need to show a zero tolerance policy against it, India has been suffering, Bangladesh has been suffering, not one country has been untouched, need to confront terrorists and their supporters.

exactly. Terrorism has no race, nationality or religion. Instead of fighting with each other thew
war should be against terrorism

News reported 3 men and 1 women arrested. Is this accurate? This is horrible

al Furqaan · #20 March 14, 2019, 11:51 PM

This is the reason I've stopped going to jummah ever since 2016.

Quebec City, London, Christchurch...only a matter of time.

I go to jummah at a pub's clubroom, I avoid large mosques.

What's a pub's clubroom?

I would go in a "safer" locale like NYC/Chicago/LA or UK or Canada (despite the anomaly of Quebec City). But I live in a different place.

Having said that, no place is truly safe, except perhaps Pyongyang (but that provides a different danger altogether).

If anyone deserved a life sentence without parole its this guy(s).

Oh yeah we used to do that in college.

I am just now realizing how close we were to losing players on our team. Its unthinkable.

May Allah forgive those who have passed.

Just to let you know, Quebec is the most racist part of Canada, hell even against English speaking people. You will get beat up, car thrashed, etc if they find out you are english. Quebec is a province in Canada (like states in USA) - predominantly french speaking people - Quebec city is a city in the province of Quebec. Don't be surprised that out of all off Canada, this attack occured in Quebec. Rest of Canada is much more accepting and kind- mostly
