Young boy throws egg at Australian Senator Fraser Anning after anti-Muslim Christchurch attack comments
After the heart wrenching attack on Christchurch mosque yesterday where the entire world condemned the attack, Australian senator, Fraser Anning made radical comments against Muslims and garnered heavy criticism.
In a statement, that has been circulating widely on social media, the senator states,” The real cause of bloodshed on New Zealand streets today is the immigration program that allowed Muslim fanatics to migrate to New Zealand in the first place”.
It’s precisely speech like that of Senator #FraserAnning that ignites #islamophobia and contributes to Islamophobic fueled terrorist attacks. #christchurchterrorattack #ChristchurchShooting pic.twitter.com/DAcpa8e2sr

He also said that the calls to toughen gun laws or blame people with “nationalist views” was “cliched nonsense”.
Fraser Anning’s comments have been receiving widespread criticism. Australian Primer Minister Scott Morrison condemned Anning’s comments and National MP Chris Bishop told the Senator to F**k off.
There has been a serious reaction to Fraser Anning’s comments. While addressing the media in Melbourne today, a young boy threw an egg at Anning’s head, who then turned around and punched the boy in the face.
