Tamaki and his supporters denounced Muslim, Buddhist, Sikh and Palestinian communities at their rally in central Auckland this afternoon. 

“Tear it, boys”, the self-described Bishop told supporters holding a Buddhist flag, among several they destroyed while performing haka. 

Palestine, Islam, Buddhist and Sikh flags were torn and stomped on by the men, in video footage shot as Tamaki spoke. 

At one point, a woman dressed in a make-shift burqa approaches the torn Islamic flag and strips off the full body covering,  aggressively throwing it on the ground.      

Not all Tamaki’s words could be heard over the crowd, but of Sikh he claimed they were “taking over our country, our businesses and our companies, and they no longer employ Kiwis, they employ their own people". 

Of Buddhism he challenged anyone who said it should be left alone because 'it’s a nice religion, they’re quiet people'. 

Tamaki claimed Buddhism “might be nice on the surface, but it’s dangerous underneath”. 

“This is another deceptive religion in our country … God said, ‘You shall have no other Gods before me’.”

The protest starts winding down as the crowd packs up the stage. Groups of protesters remain scattered in the area. 

An argument has broken out among Tamaki protesters about whether Jesus is a Jew or not. Someone in the crowd is carrying a sign saying "Zionists also kill Christians in Gaza".

Tamaki has left the stage and a Christian rock concert begins.
