Destiny Church leader Brian Tamaki has taken aim at New Zealand's Islamic community over the Christchurch mosque shootings that claimed the lives of 51 people.
Just days after the attack, Tamaki hit out at Jacinda Ardern and the Government for organising the Islamic call to prayer being broadcast across the country.
Speaking to Al Jazeera's 101 East, the self-proclaimed Bishop blamed the alleged shooter's actions on a "clash of cultures" and said those who follow the Islamic faith needed to "respect the host country".
"You're coming to my country, and therefore you respect the host country.
"After a term in being here, you run your life and your values and your religion like you did where you came from - that's disingenuous to the foundations of the countries that have been built over [the] years."
