Below is a press release I did as soon as I found out. It was sent to NZ and International media and was completely ignored
إِنَّا
لِلّهِ وَإِنَّـا إِلَيْهِ رَاجِعونَ
Na te Atua I homai, Na te Atua ano e tango.

Ka tangi te ngakau mo te tokotoru I puhia, kei Amerika. No
Ngai Iharaima katoa ratou.
Ka tuku aroha ki nga whanau pani, I raro I te kapua o te
pouriuri, I roto I te mamae.
Ki ahau nei, kaore I kore, he ‘tukino mauahara’ tenei.
Ka tangi te ngakau mo nga hunga katoa, ki te ao whanui e
mate penei ai.
Ko te mea noaiho hei whakapiki ano te hari, ko taua
mohiotanga, hei te Ra Whakawa, te Ra o te Orangatonutanga, ka whiwhi taatou
katou te Utu mai i te Atua Kaharawa, moo u matou mahi katoa, ki runga I te mata
o te whenua.

I express profound sadness over the 3 who were shot in
America. They are Muslim.
My love goes out to the grieving families who must be
overcome with sadness at this time.
To me, there is no doubt that this was a dreadful hate
crime.
I mourn for all who die like this across the earth.
The only consolation is the sacred knowledge of the Day of
Resurrection and Judgement, whereby all shall receive JUST Consequences for all
actions on Earth, and such justice can only be administered by Almighty God.
