Rosie Ayliffe,
the mother of slain British backpacker, Mia Ayliffe-Chung, who was stabbed to
death in Queensland in August along with fellow backpacker Tom Jackson,
has
taken to Twitter to post a scathing letter to U.S President Donald Trump after
the White House this week listed her death among 78 terrorist related deaths
under-reported by the mainstream media.
The Australian
Police after her killing, immediately ruled out Islamic terrorism or
radicalization as cause of Mia's death, so Rosie, mum to Mia, was annoyed to
find out Trump still listed the death as a terrorist attack saying 'Any fool
can shout Allahu Akbar as they commit a crime'.
"The
possibility of Mia and Tom's deaths being consequent to an Islamic terror
attack was discounted in the early stages of the police investigation... Any
fool can shout Allahu Akbar as they commit a crime," Rosie Ayliffe wrote
in her statement.
"Treating
immigrants as disposable commodities and disregarding their safety causes
deaths throughout our so-called civilized world."
"I have
lived and worked in the Islamic world for a number of years ... Mia traveled in
Turkey and Morocco too, albeit too briefly".
"We
encountered nothing but respect and hospitality from people who are committed
to courtesy and honoring their fellow human beings. This vilification ... is a
terrifying reminder of the horror that can ensue when we allow ourselves to be
led by ignorant people into darkness and hatred."
