The Islamophobic signs that defined the Christchurch terrorist

One of the terrorists who killed at least 50 people at two mosques had several Islamophobic names and dates of war against Muslims inscribed on his gun, while Turks were shown as one of the main targets.

A still image taken from video circulated on social media, apparently taken by a gunman and posted online live as the terror attack unfolded, shows him entering a mosque in Christchurch, New Zealand, March 15, 2019.

The terrorist who murdered at least 50 people at two mosques in Christchurch, New Zealand, left one of his guns behind with racist and white supremacist messages written across it. 

The names of Christian and Nazi military commanders who had fought wars against the former Ottoman Empire were also written on the gun, along with dates referring to some significant historical events in eastern Europe.

Here are the names of white supremacists and soldiers--who either committed crimes or fought against Muslims--that found space on the Christchurch terrorist's gun.

A ‘Remove Kebab’ meme was also printed on the gun. It's a racist slur based on a propaganda song produced by Serb nationalist militants during the Bosnian genocide in the 1990s, referring to the ethnic cleansing of Balkan Muslims.

The white terrorist also played the Remove Kebab song in his car, with the racist music blaring in the background. 

The song was created to commemorate Radovan Karadzic, a convicted war criminal who led Serb militias during the Bosnian genocide.
