President Donald Trump says he is being unfairly blamed for the New Zealand mosque attacks in which 50 people died.
Trump had expressed sympathy for the victims, but played down the threat of white nationalism across the world, saying he didn't consider it a rising threat despite data suggesting it's growing.
In the past, Trump has drawn criticism for saying "both sides" were to blame for violence at a deadly white supremacist demonstration.
Turkey's president has shown parts of a video taken by the attacker who killed 50 people at two mosques in New Zealand to comment on what he called rising Islamophobia.
President Recep Tayyip Erdogan showed the clips during campaign rallies for March 31 local elections. The video, which was blurred but had clear sounds of automatic gunfire, was shown to thousands of people at the rallies and was aired live on Turkish television.
Erdogan used the video to comment on attacks on Islam and rising Islamophobia. He referred to a manifesto by the suspected attacker, Brenton Tarrant, in which he threatened Turks and vowed to make Istanbul "Christian owned once more."
New Zealand Foreign Minister Winston Peters said Monday he told his Turkish counterpart the video doesn't represent New Zealand.
The top cleric in the Muslim World League is traveling to New Zealand to pray for the victims of an attack on two mosques that killed 50 people.
The Saudi-based league said Monday that Secretary General Sheikh Mohammad Alissa will offer condolences to families of the victims, pray for the dead and visit the wounded.
An Australian white supremacist is charged with murder in the shootings.
After Friday's attack in Christchurch, Alissa issued a statement saying the barbarity and hatred displayed in the shootings "parallel" the violent acts of al-Qaida and the Islamic State group.
He said governments and faith organizations need to work together to encourage religious tolerance and understanding.
Pakistanis are observing a day of mourning to remember victims of the New Zealand mosque attacks and honor a man who died after trying to tackle the gunman.
Nine Pakistanis were among the 50 people killed when an immigrant-hating white nationalist opened fire at two mosques in Christchurch during Friday prayers. Among the slain worshippers was Naeem Rashid, a 50-year-old Pakistani who tried to snatch the gun from the attacker. Rashid moved to New Zealand from Pakistan with his family when he was 11.
On Monday, Pakistan's flag was flying at half-staff as a sign of respect for the victims.
Government officials, opposition leaders, relatives and friends visited the homes of Pakistanis killed in New Zealand to convey their condolences.
Relatives and family members of the slain Pakistanis said the victims were "martyrs."
Australian TV news networks have shown what they say are the mother and sister of alleged Christchurch mass killer Brenton Tarrant returning to their homes in eastern Australia with police searching for clues in the New Zealand mosque attacks.
Tarrant, an Australian, grew up in the New South Wales town of Grafton. But Prime Minister Scott Morrison said he has only spent 45 days in Australia in the past three years.
The two people identified as mother Sharon Tarrant and sister Lauren Tarrant did not comment to the media after police searched their homes. They are reportedly in protective police custody.
Nine News said they returned to their homes for the first time Monday since at least 50 people were slaughtered in Christchurch last Friday.
The mother lives in the New South Wales town of Lawrence and the sister in Sandy Beach.
Australian police said the aim of the search was to obtain material that could help New Zealand police in their investigation of the attack.
New Zealand Police Commissioner Mike Bush said the Australian police searches "haven't discovered any matters that would threaten their public."
