In March 2019, 51 people were killed and several dozen injured in an attack in mosques in Christchurch. An attacker fired at two mosques with heavy weapons. After the incident, New Zealand banned most semi-automatic guns. At the same time, New Zealand Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern was praised worldwide for expressing condolences and encouragement to the survivors and relatives of the victims of the incident.

Attending a tribute meeting two years after the incident, Jacinda Ardern said that despite the words having the power to heal, the incident that took place can never be changed. Many men, women and children were killed. The fear that has arisen over the Muslim society due to the incident can never be filled with words. However, our country should be more inclusive which takes pride in diversity and also defends it if needed.
