The slaughter of unarmed women and children is abhorrent in every way. It's a tragedy on a human level, and I think it needs to be recognized and treated as such.
It does not mean that we should now embrace the 'religion of the peace' or support its ideology. I find it very ironic that the first country in the world to give women the right to vote, is now trying it's hardest to cover a backwards cult in tinsel and roses, all out of some warped sense of solidarity.

New Zealand's response:
- Internet Providers are racing to earn virtue points by censoring parts of the Internet that may be offensive (*to muslims).
- The government is vowing to throw people in prison for up to a decade for watching or sharing a video, which they may have done even before it was deemed illegal.
- Legislation is rapidly being drafted to crank down on 'hate speech' and enforce more repression and censorship of any opposing views.
- Gun laws are ready to go, but you should set an example and hand them in sooner anyway if you're a good person:

- Social media platform are being decried for not instantly censoring a rapidly broadening list of offensive things (also they empower terrorists):
COMMENT: The more attention we grants extremists, the more we'll see on social-media.

COMMENT: The Christchurch massacre should force major platforms to reform.

(this list is actually huge)
- To even suggest that you don't think Islam's that great, or that mass immigration is not entirely desirable, automatically sentences you to the social trash can. If you're a white guy, you're barely one step above Hitler. The entire subject is officially taboo.
- Even bikie gangs (the worst gangs NZ has on offer) are getting on board the virtue train and are receiving pats on the back:
Waikato Muslim Association president urges the members to join them in prayer instead.

Black power preform a Haka as a sign of respect for those who have passed away.

(They're protecting the vulnerable Islam, who cares about their meth dealing or daily violent crimes? They may as well convert.)
- Decades old rugby team names are now offensive, according to historical revisionists:
The Crusaders are in discussions about a possible name change after the tragedy in Christchurch on Friday.

The Crusaders aren't the first side with that moniker to consider ditching the name.

- Hug a muslim! Unless you're a woman, that would just be wrong:
A Facebook post explains the dos and don'ts when reaching out to the Muslim community.

- Some virtue-filled kid is being hailed as a hero for throwing an egg at a politician, who was expressing and trying to represent a different political view (which coincidentally, happens to be his job as an elected official):
The teenager who cracked an egg on a Senator's head has become an overnight sensation.

The list goes on. The police request in the OP is just the tip of the ice berg for this collective insanity. I'm remaining optimistic about this just being a strong emotional response that is temporarily clouding the collective reasoning of this country.
This tragedy should not be about Islam, it should be about 50 human beings that have lost their lives at the hands of a madman. Call me a literal nazi, but is this knee jerk reaction not what the guy wanted all along?
This has turned into an epic rant so I'll stop here.
Also hello. I have just joined this community as a free speech refugee. I heard you have cows.
