Copy-cats are an expected consequence of the Christchurch massacre, you can consider the Manifesto of the shooter to be their standard; too.
But the problem is that the Right has other sources for its extremism and terrorism; many attacks against Muslims took place before this one without the need of this specific Manifesto: point is the terrorist didn't say anything new; his ideas are old and the Right wing was repeating them since years and years.
The manifesto should remain; so we can see and read through the mentality of xenophobic terrorists. Imagine a kid having his dad shot and killed in the mosque because the terrorist wanted to become a Crusader knight. The effect of that will be strong, or an NZ woman seeing her country ruined because the "glories of the past" must return.
It shouldn't be banned. It should be studied in the department of psychological fuckups.
