"We are one, they are us" - Auszüge der wichtigsten Passagen aus der Rede der Premierministerin Neuseelands Jacinda Ardern
Liebe Freunde, Salam,
Ich möchte auf diese Rede der Premierministerin
von Neuseeland aufmerksam machen.
Hier die aus meiner Sicht bemerkenswertesten Passagen der Rede
Al Salam Alaikum
Peace be upon you. And peace be upon all of us.
Mr Speaker the 15th of March will now forever be a day etched in our collective memories. On a quiet Friday afternoon a man stormed into a place of peaceful worship and took away the lives of 50 people. That quiet Friday afternoon has become our darkest of days. But for the families, it was more than that. It was the day that the simple act of prayer – of practising their Muslim faith and religion – led to the loss of their loved ones lives.
Those loved ones, were brothers, daughters, fathers and children. They were New Zealanders. They are us. And because they are us, we, as a nation, we mourn them. We feel a huge duty of care to them. And Mr Speaker, we have so much we feel the need to say and to do.
One of the roles I never anticipated having, and hoped never to have, is to voice the grief of a nation. Mr Speaker, there is one person at the centre of this act of terror against our Muslim community in New Zealand. A 28-year-old man – an Australian citizen – has been charged with one count of murder. Other charges will follow. He will face the full force of the law in New Zealand. The families of the fallen will have justice. He sought many things from his act of terror, but one was notoriety. And that is why you will never hear me mention his name.
He is a terrorist. He is a criminal. He is an extremist. But he will, when I speak, be nameless. And to others I implore you: speak the names of those who were lost, rather than name of the man who took them.
He may have sought notoriety, but we in New Zealand will give him nothing. Not even his name… As I conclude I acknowledge there are many stories that will have struck all of us since the 15th of March. One I wish to mention, is that of Hati Mohemmed Daoud Nabi.
He was the 71-year-old man who opened the door at the Al-Noor mosque and uttered the words ‘Hello brother, welcome’. His final words. Of course he had no idea of the hate that sat behind the door, but his welcome tells us so much – that he was a member of a faith that welcomed all its members, that showed openness, and care. I have said many times Mr Speaker, we are a nation of 200 ethnicities, 160 languages. We open our doors to others and say welcome. And the only thing that must change after the events of Friday, is that this same door must close on all of those who espouse hate and fear. Yes the person who committed these acts was not from here. He was not raised here.
He did not find his ideology here, but that is not to say that those very same views do not live here. I know that as a nation, we wish to provide every comfort we can to our Muslim community in this darkest of times. And we are. The mountain of flowers around the country that lie at the doors of mosques, the spontaneous song outside the gates. These are ways of expressing an outpouring of love and empathy. But we wish to do more. We wish for every member of our communities to also feel safe.
Safety means being free from the fear of violence. But it also means being free from the fear of those sentiments of racism and hate, that create a place where violence can flourish. And every single one of us has the power to change that. Mr Speaker on Friday it will be a week since the attack. Members of the Muslim community will gather for worship on that day. Let us acknowledge their grief as they do. Let’s support them as they gather again for worship. We are one, they are us.
Tatau tatau
Al salam Alaikum
Weh Rahmat Allah
Weh Barakaatuh
