Because obviously the problem here is access to sharp objects. If they’re all unavailable, peace and harmony will prevail. Jihad? What’s that?
“A New Zealand supermarket chain removed knives and scissors from their shelves after an ISIS supporter stabbed 6 people in one of their stores,” by Kelsey Vlamis, Insider, September 6, 2021 (thanks to Darcy):
New Zealand supermarket chain Countdown announced Saturday it removed all knives and scissors from its shelves, one day after a man stabbed six people inside one of its stores.
“Last night, we made the decision to temporarily remove all knives and scissors from our shelves while we consider whether we should continue to sell them,” Kiri Hannifin, Countdown’s general manager for safety, said in a statement.
“This is in no way a reflection on our customers, but an act of support for our team. We want all of our team to feel safe when they come to work, especially considering the events of yesterday,” she said.”
On Friday, police shot and killed a man who stabbed six people in the Countdown supermarket in Auckland in what authorities described as a terrorist attack by an ISIS supporter….
Police Commissioner Andrew Coster said the suspect, who has not been named, got the knife from within the store, according to AP….
Mount Zion says
Is there no common sense anymore .
No one not even police mentioned that removing knives and scissors isn’t going to solve the problem we should rather look at the root cause which is unvetted immigration and jihad ideology .
I’m asking myself what comes next after the removal of knives and scissors ? The removal of parking space infront of a shopping mall if a jihady tried to run over shoppers ? It’s just madness , it’s insane .
Aarom Hasselbusch says
They could deport their problem back to their home countries
But that would require some spine the leaders don’t have including here in the U S
SAFI says
Idiots. They should be removing Qurans from bookshops.
Mount Zion says
And mosques and Imams from the land
mortimer says
So instead of addressing the MOTIVATING TERRORIST IDEOLOGY (Islamism), the supermarket is going to punish the non-Muslim VICTIMS of terrorism … the CUSTOMERS will no longer be able to buy the scissors they need for their home use because MUSLIMS MOTIVATED by the JIHAD IDEOLOGY may be tempted to conduct jihad. The Muslims who believe the Koran, Sira, hadiths and discriminatory Sharia law WILL be motivated with or without scissors. They could use ANY heavy or sharp object to slash the necks of the disbelievers … scissors are not their only option. Many mosques send their members to MARTIAL ARTS classes so they will be able to kill with their hands and feet !
The whole thing is an ABDICATION of LOGICAL THOUGHT. The IDEOLOGY creates the terrorist … not scissors.
Our motto: It’s the IDEOLOGY, stupid.
Aussie Infidel says
Mortimer, Yes the ideology is the problem. But that ideology is ISLAM, not ISLAMISM. There is no need for the suffix ‘-ISM’. Islamism is a propaganda term that has been concocted to con gullible Westerners to believe that it is a corrupted version of ‘true Islam’, which Muslims claim is a “peaceful and tolerant religion”. But nothing could be further from the truth. There is only one Islam – the version in the Quran – which all Muslims are required to follow; and that Islam incites Muslims to HATE AND KILL INFIDELS. Under the Sharia, infidels must either convert or die – or live as dhimmis and pay the jizya tax.
It would seem that our Kiwi cousins across the Ditch are also urgently in need of a refresher course on the ideology of this murderous creed, which is hell bent on conquering the world for Allah – one knife attack at a time.
But let’s get the ideology right and not just follow the propaganda of the militant mullahs who run Islam.
Beneath the Veil of Consciousness says
Knives don’t kill people, Islamic Jihad Supremacists, following the traditions of Islam, kill people.
OTTER says
The cars, Ms Arden.. go for the cars. Ban them too. What a genius.
Infidel says
Actually, it’s the logical progression on banning guns
gravenimage says
The cars, Ms Arden (sic).. go for the cars. Ban them too. What a genius.
………………..
Actually, it is the supermarket chain Countdown that has banned knives and scissors, not the New Zealand PM.
She is an idiot, but not responsible for this as OTTER apparently believes.

Want to keep your employees safe, pay for firearms training and carry permits for all your Kaffir employees, they will not only keep themselves safe but your customers too!
Fitna says
What’ll they ban next? Hammers, 2×4’s, bats, golf clubs, wrenches, rocks, frying pans? Literally all these objects can be deadly and I’m sure there’s a million more I haven’t mentioned.
Here’s another idea Arden, let’s wrap up everything in 1 inch thick foam, make the whole country ‘kid-safe’ then what are the terrorists going to do? Boy we sure foiled their dastardly plans!
These stupid ostriches are digging their heads further into the ground-anything to avoid dealing with reality. This is turning into a Simpsons episode, life imitating art. They banned guns, aliens invaded and enslaved them using just a slingshot and a bat.
It won’t slip the Muslims’ attention how weak the infidels are and how easy it would be for them to carry out further jihad attacks. Weakness invites aggression. Many more innocents will pay the price for western leaders cowardice and treason.

All true, Fitna.
Peace says
Countdown is being Islamaphobic
Removing anything that could kill Infidels in real life is Islamaphobic
(This is very unusual for me to defend politicians) But they have stated they are going to change the laws that kept that killer avoiding being exported ..
MOST NZ’ers are watching this closely, and it’s not going to get brushed away
And if I don’t see a change in the next month, I’m going to start bothering politicians …..
James Lincoln says
Did New Zealand have problems with knife attacks before they started accepting muslim migrants?
If not, why?
gravenimage says
Damn good question, James.

New Zealand: Supermarket where Muslim migrant stabbed six people removes knives and scissors from shelves
…………….
Utter idiocy. Ikea in Sweden did the same after a Muslim there went on a stabbing spree. Unclear on the concept.
Giacomo Latta says
What is that Arabic looking symbol next the Countdown sign? Does it mean ”until the next muslim attack?”
OLD GUY says
Now thats funny, like the islamic terrorist is not going to bring his own weapon. Let’s see don’t take care of the actual problem, islamic migration invasion, instead ban scissors and knives from the store shelves, what’s next cans of beans. Are our business and political leaders really that dumb? So what if you are called and Islamophobe by people who want to kill you. Common sense anyone.
gravenimage says
I just ran across this bit of spectacular idiocy, blaming this Jihad terror attack on the police for daring to keep an eye on this Jihadist. That quick-acting police were able to preven Ahamed Aathill Mohamed Samsudeen from actually murdering anyone doesn’t seem to be a concern for this tool.
https://www.theguardian.com/world/commentisfree/2021/sep/06/i-assessed-the-auckland-supermarket-terrorist-our-approach-has-to-change
Note the idea that Samsudeen’s experience in jail led to his Jihad terror attack–even though he was in prison for plotting Jihad terror attacks.
Sympathy for the devil…
