Islam in NZ

While I have real concerns for future immigration which may contain Islamist Muslims (those who beleive sharia has absolute priority over democracy and universal human rights) I have to say that I think New Zealand is incredibly fortunate that to date the extremists have not been coming to New Zealand.

We see this again today with the Federation of Islamic Associations of New Zealand disassociating itself from Sheik Alhilali on women as uncovered meat etc. They also point out he is not the Mufti of NZ, as some have claimed.

Likewise we saw very responsible leadership from the local Muslim community over the Danish cartoons earlier this year.
