Abdur Razzaq: The Federation of Islamic Associations NZ chair on the changes to the Christchurch Call

Published: May 14, 2024, 10:03 p.m.

Changes to the Christchurch Call are being welcomed by the Muslim community.\xa0

The initiative's becoming a charitable foundation and will no longer rely on taxpayer funding.\xa0

It will continue its mission to reduce online extremism\xa0but is no longer linked to the governments of New Zealand or France, which founded it in 2019.\xa0

The Federation of Islamic Associations NZ chair Abdur Razzaq told Andrew Dickens that the government isn\u2019t pulling their support, but rather it was a natural transition for the organisation.\xa0

He said that it's not about whether the new structure is better, but rather what services it can provide now that it couldn\u2019t before.\xa0
