'There is blood on the hands of politicians who incite hate.' Muslims in Australia say there are lessons to be learnt after the New Zealand mosque attacks.
"Muslims have been targeted during Friday prayers. This is not an isolated event with mysterious causes. This is not random. This is the consequence of the Islamophobic and racist hate that has been normalised and legitimised by some politicians and media," she added.
"[It is] a reminder to all concerned, including political leaders and media commentators, of the horrific consequences that an atmosphere of hate and division can lead to. No country or community is immune to such atrocities," it said in a statement.
