#222: Terrorism in Christchurch and the Need to Challenge All Forms of Islamophobia

- We discuss the white supremacist terrorist attack in Christchurch, Aotearoa (New Zealand) including playing an interview with author, lawyer and human rights activist Qasim Rashid from Democracy Now. - The importance of challenging Islamophobia and racism all along the spectrum of discrimination and violence, and not only at the most extreme and horrific end. This concept is from the book Disability, Hate Crime and Violence by Dr Andrea Hollomotz and you can read Nicks article discussing this in the context of homophobia here: https://newmatilda.com/2016/06/13/homophobia-doesnt-start-with-a-mass-shooting-in-orlando/ - For more information on this episode and for links to all of the stories and clips from it, go to: https://progressivepodcastaustralia.com/2019/03/17/222/
