Last week, Muslims of the World (MOTW) - a platform describing itself as "designed to give a voice to Muslims around the world" - launched an Instagram contest offering a free trip to New Zealand. It claimed the winner would meet families of istchurch shooting victims and visit the mosques with the platform's founder, Sajjad Shah, Imam Suhaib Webb, and author Khaled Beydoun - all US-based.
The announcement swiftly provoked a backlash, including from Maha Elmadani, the daughter of one of the victims, who wrote, "I don't know who you think you are but you and your idiot friends are not welcome to come here and look at us like animals in a zoo."
