Umno politicians have criticised Australian senator Fraser Anning

over his remarks regarding the fatal attacks at two mosques in
Christchurch.

Venting his anger on Twitter, Khairy Jamaluddin did not mince

words in calling him a “piece of s**t”.

“The real cause of bloodshed on New Zealand streets today is

the twisted minds of racist, despicable pieces of s**t like you,”
said the Rembau lawmaker.

Anning's remarks had also infuriated Umno secretary-general

Annuar Musa.
“It is sad and disheartening to see the attacks and murder... It is
sadder when a politician like Anning makes a statement which is
insolent towards Islam. We feel challenged,” he tweeted.

“Your understanding of Islam is simply horrible and terrifying.

Your remarks are simply. You owe an apology to Muslims
throughout the world,” he said.

Sedih dan tersangat dukacita melihat serangan dan pembunuhan

jemaah Mesjid di Christchurch NZ yg di lakukan sedemikian
rupa.Lebih sedih lagi bila ada kenyataan pemimpin politik saperti
Senator Fraser Anning yg begitu biadap dan menyeleweng
terhadap ISLAM..kita rasa cukup tercabar

In a statement issued after the incident which left 50 people

dead, Anning, among others, said the real cause of the
bloodshed is the immigration problem which allowed “Muslim
fanatics” to migrate to New Zealand.

He added that while Muslims were the victims in this incident,

they are “usually the perpetrators”.

New Zealand Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern has condemned the

attacks as an act of terrorism.

The suspect shooter, who is in his late 20s, has been arrested and
will appear at the Christchurch court on Saturday.
