Anyway, isn't it great that a topical work of NZ non-fiction should stir such passions and debate?
While you're here can I also recommend THE VALLEY by Asher Emanuel and HE TOLD US by Chris Wilson and Michal Dziwulski.

A very powerful WORD Chch session just then on HE TOLD US, with Chris Wilson, Michal Dziwulski and Sara Qasem, expertly chaired by Lianne Dalziel. Every NZer needs to read this book.
Young woman charged with downloading and disseminating the San Diego livestream. We argued in He Told Us that it is very likely that the Australian terrorist who attacked two mosques in Christchurch also arranged someone to do this: cnn.com/2026/08/31/us/san-di…
I didn't do this interview for the Herald. That's from last year. You'd think they'd ask, or at least put the date on it

Quite the attempt to portray violent hatred of immigrants and 'race traitors' as environmentalist. (As so often based on propaganda in the Christchurch manifesto) telegraph.co.uk/news/2026/07…

This is very good. I hope it gets more attention and follow-ups. It's especially relevant at a time when Islamophobia and hostility towards immigrants seems to be having a new lease of life, especially on this platform.

An excellent interview with us about He Told Us, our book on the Christchurch terrorist attack.
Extremism researchers Chris Wilson and Michal Dziwulski have uncovered 4Chan posts made by the ChCh terrorist before the attack. In them, he makes public threats against the Muslim community. Our IV from Q+A: youtube.com/watch?v=0blx91tV…
A uuseful article although important to point out the death of Ebba Akerlund (or jihadist violence in general) likely had very little to do with Tarrant’s radicalisation: //www.stuff.co.nz/world-news/360917188/road-darkness-bondi-father-son-and-radical-world-terror

In late 2024 the FBI tipped off NZ police to a man who was planning a mass stabbing at a mall or mosque. He was found to possess a bayonet and knife, child pornography and a video of the 2019 Christchurch attack. He stated he sought notoriety.

Actually, he called you a "true hero."
Will this case make people wait before tweeting as if they know who the perpetrator was straight after attacks? (the answer's no, ofc).

Australia is grateful to Indonesia and President Prabowo for the return of the five men on humanitarian grounds.
