American Muslims are praising New Zealand Prime Minister Jacinda Arderns response to last weeks mosque massacre and pointing out how Arderns words and actions sharply contrast with the way President Donald Trump has responded to white supremacists in the past.

Its been about four days since a gunman opened fire on two Christchurch mosques during Friday prayers, killing 50 worshippers and injuring dozens more. Since the attack, Ardern has visited and listened to the bereaved community, pledged to make reforms to gun laws, and repeatedly emphasized that Muslims are a vital part of New Zealands community.

They were loved ones and they were New Zealanders, Ardern said about the victims during a press conference Sunday .
