My deepest condolences go to the Muslim community of Christchurch in New Zealand. My thoughts are with the victims and their families and friends of this terrible terrorist crime against people who were praying in peace.

Racial and religious hate have no place in the world. Violent attack on one religious group is an attack against all religions.

We need to do more to increase understanding and respect between diverse communities. Also more community education is needed to eliminate the abhorrent hate crimes.

RIP!
