Day of the Devil



My feeling is extremely sad. I am shocked and devastated. We sought to find a refuge in a peaceful country and found New Zealand as the best option we could choose. We are as immigrants who settled here with our kids had been enjoyed the solidarity of this wonderful nation. The reality of our past was, such as those Muslim people who have been looking for a way out for escaping from the terror, brutality, massacre, extremism of our own country. Twenty three years ago we landed on this soil and lived without fear. Since yesterday I’m totally shattered and broken. My dream of fearless peaceful life has fragmented by this inhuman brutality. The worshipers in the mosque are strangers but migrants who moved to New Zealand with the bundles of hopes to get achieved. The place where this horrendous act has happened is far away but the painful feeling is so closed to my heart. I’m extreemly sadned. Fear crawling again into my mind because I’m in the same point which I sought after to escape from.
