Description
Summary:In a speech delivered as address at Masjid Al Noor, Christchurch, New Zealand on April 26, 2019, William talks about the tragedy of terrorism and acts of hate and violence unfolded in New Zealand, a country of peace. A country that seemed to be bucking global trends of division and anger, looked like maybe it too would fall victim to those intent on promoting fear and distrust. He acknowledged how the people of Al Noor and Linwood mosques, in a moment of acute pain, stood up and stood together. And in reaction to tragedy, you achieved something remarkable. He added that extremism in all its tonus must be defeated. The message from Christchurch and the message from AI Noor and Linwood mosques could not be more clear - the global ideology of hate will fail to divide us.
