All_on_Red, as I indicated at least in public life most do not appear to be segregated .and of course are required to observe our laws regarding women ‘s rights etc.

I do recall in Synagogues men and women were segregated and this till rains the case with orthodox congregations . Is that OK with you ?. It could be where Mahomet might of got the issued from.

What on earth were you doing at the meeting in the first place ? Clandestine nosing on behalf of Jihad Watch or SIS ? Suitably disguised for the occasion ?

Bureaucrat refers generically to anyone working in a bureaucracy – an enterprise broken into a series of specific positions, or offices. This there are private sector and public sector bureaucracies. A civil servant is an employee of the civil authority.

milky, “troughers” is a more convenient description as it as it obviates the distinction to which you refer.

I doubt stephie has even visited a mosque, or read the Quran. His claims to know everything about the Muslim community in NZ seem to be based on passing a Muslim on the street or in a park and then having a conversation with himself in his head.

His latest was seeing a women in a full burqa at a park and then claiming on KB that it was obvious she would integrate into NZ society, and we were all just meanies for having any concerns.

I don’t mean this as an insult, simply as an observation, but there is something very infantile in the way stephie thinks through issues, and how he expresses himself here.

It is important to get the distinctions correct: bureaucrat. civil servant, functionary, jobsworth, apparatchik, flunky, pencil-pusher, desk-jockey – these are all specific terms which we should be careful to use in the correct context.

As I said milky, “troughers”. Some of the terms you refer to are applicable to the private sector. Using the term “troughers” makes the clear distinction between the private and public sectors.

You can go even further, Shawn.

stephieboy is a progressive who believes colonialism, capitalism, and the white man have ruined the lives of the dark and oppressed masses. Because of it, he has a profound guilt complex and feels obliged to atone by expressing solidarity with any (il)liberal cause he runs into.

His passion for Islam goes against what he was taught on gender equality at School of Women’s Studies at Waikato University, but the love of the prophet is stronger than any rational thought.

I am lost for words.

From the same link:

“I am a state house boy … I got to live the Kiwi dream of having the state help my parents, who could not afford to buy their own house when I was young, and of having the support of Housing New Zealand to make sure that our family – my brothers and sisters – could live in a good house that was warm and dry … I got to be able to go to university and get qualifications so that at one stage of life I ended up in this place, so that I can stand up and protect the things that were important to me and my family.”
-Kris Faafoi

Proof confirming Faafoi’s memory he was there when the first state house was built:

“DPF’s patience was finally exhausted”

Not surprising. Kea lasted longer than anyone expected, but you could see the steam building in his head for days now. It was just a matter of time before kea blew a gasket.

He/she posted this last night on the Brownlee thread…

“Christchurch, even the name is blasphemous, has reaped what it sowed. An intolerant small minded racist town that has attracted the likes of Shawn. The first thing the LORD smote were the churches Christchurch pretended to honour him in.

It is an ignorant vile town and all those worthy of consideration have already left.”

…and I couldn’t help thinking that he was actively trying to get another strike.

Apart from being the subject of the comment in question, I had nothing to do with Kea’s suspension.

And, I am disappointed that I won’t be sharing that wódka with her, at least not for lasting six months here without being booted.

What was it, nearly a month for Kea since re-entering the world of Kiwiblog? That has to be a record.

If Kea would like to contact me via email (luciamaria at outlook dot com), maybe we can catch up sometime anyway.

Actually I think it was a great expression of New Zealanders working together. I believe the Government was offered it and turned it down. I think it is a win win. There is so much that divides us, and politics gets in the way of so much and oft there is little to be thankful for. I wasn’t one that pledged but I can appreciate the delight of those that did.

”Lindbergh: Nazi apologist – lucky not to get locked up in WWII.

Nope. An isolationist but not a Nazi…and certainly no more racist than most white Americans in the 1930s! Isolationism was prevalent and the natural default setting in the US until Pearl Harbour. And not any more deluded/wrong after the event than George Bernard Shaw and HG Wells and others in the “Stalin’s fools” class.

Even a “conspiratorial anti-Semite” like Henry Ford (who incongruously and incredibly couldn’t understand why Jewish people he met and interacted with him had a problem with his views! Maybe EAD and Reid exhibit the same psychological blind spot) wasn’t even necessarily pro-Nazi – although he did good business out of them…including during the war!

Actually I think it was a great expression of New Zealanders working together … I think it is a win win.

“New Zealanders working together” – to achieve what, exactly?

“A win win” – who exactly has won what?

DOC have paid money that they would probably have preferred to pay for something else, for something they didn’t particularly want and are now burdened with the responsibility for. They are clear losers.

Public access (to a place that hardly anybody went to anyway) is now guaranteed – but apparently public access already was guaranteed, under the District Coastal Plan. So there’s no actual gain to anybody there.

The previous owners have made upwards of $2 million, which is what they wanted, but they are no better off than if they’d sold the land for a similar amount to somebody else. So no actual gain there either – unless you believe that nobody else would have paid as much, in which case the previous owners are indeed big winners; but in that case everybody else is a big loser.

A large number of people have paid money. In return they get precisely nothing that they wouldn’t have got anyway. They may think that they are winners, but it is objectively difficult to see how.

What benefits have I missed that make this a win-win?

This view about Charles Lindbergh is balanced and gets it about right,

Charles Lindbergh, the Nazis and American isolationism

6 June 2013 Last updated at 19:05 BST

Charles Lindbergh is best known for being the first person to fly solo nonstop across the Atlantic in 1927. He earned more tragic notoriety a few years later when his son was kidnapped and killed in a case that gripped the US.

What many Americans forget is the central role Lindbergh played in the isolationist movement in the years leading up to the US entry into World War II.Lindbergh, Nazis and US isolationism

Author Lynne Olson argues that is because we tend to focus on what happened after the Japanese attacked Pearl Harbor when the “greatest generation” fought what is looked back on as “the good war”.

In Those Angry Days she shows how divided America was between 1939-41, calling the political debate over the US role in the war the most violent of the 20th Century.

While President Franklin Roosevelt wanted to intervene to help the British in the fight against Germany, Lindbergh championed the isolationist cause.

Although Lindbergh was unashamedly pro-German and an anti-Semite, Olson told the BBC he was no Nazi sympathiser.

http://www.bbc.com/news/magazine-22684773

For my part I think Lindbergh was bit naive . He of course reflected many popular views of the time including e.g notions about eugenics which were accepted by a wide variety of people of a number of political persuasions .Many also saw a great hope and sympathy in a revived Germany

But he certainly didn’t deserved to be hijacked by EAD and other Neo Nazis .

The insanity of multiculturalism…

Gynecologists: Anti-FGM laws “culturally insensitive and supremacist”

“Gynecologists Kavita Shah Arora and Allan Jacobs are monstrous moral relativists who are, under the rubric of multiculturalism, aiding and abetting the Sharia subjugation and dehumanization of women. They probably congratulate themselves as great champions of women’s rights: they even here justify the mutilation of a woman’s genitals, which is done in order to remove her capacity to experience sexual pleasure and make her easier to control, by saying that to forbid this mutilation is “culturally insensitive and supremacist and discriminatory towards women.””

In Praise of Christian Walls

” “A person who thinks only about building walls, wherever they may be, and not building bridges, is not Christian,” Pope Francis declared on his flight back to Rome last week.The political implications of his statement have been considered in some detail in recent days, but his assertion also needs to be examined in the light of history.

Had it not been for the walls, strongly built and staunchly defended, Christendom would not have survived the onslaught of Islam in its thousand-year-long period of military expansion. Two prominent examples come from the final two centuries of that period: the sieges of Vienna in 1529 and 1683. The first marked an important early check on Turkish advances, after a century of conquest in the Balkans and Central Europe. The second saved Europe and finally turned the tide. German, Hungarian, Polish, and other defenders of the walls of Vienna were Christian warriors par excellence. During the second siege the city was saved thanks to an alliance between the Holy Roman Empire and the Kingdom of Poland, which was brokered at the last minute by Pope Innocent XI. In thanksgiving for the victory at Vienna on September 12, 1683, Pope Innocent fixed that date as the Feast of the Holy Name of Mary.”

This is what you said at 10.45 regarding segregation within the Muslim community.
“Certainly not true in NZ”

Then you say this after you are proved wrong.
“All_on_Red, as I indicated at least in public life most do not appear to be segregated”
“Most”? “Do not appear”? It was a PUBLIC meeting they were segregated at.
Once again we see from you this habit of completing disownng your own words. And as others have pointed out, you also twist others words and attach things they have NEVER said to them.
It’s a pretty shitty trick and is a low form of debate.

And gender equality is certainly not an issue with e.g my Shia Iranian neighbours who like great may other Muslims in Auckland and NZ don’t follow their former religion and happily accept the conventions and customs of our society on gender equality etc !

Lindbergh too was an anti-Semite. His friend Henry Ford even complained that ‘the Jews’ were all Lindbergh would talk about!

People said the same about Bobby Fischer and he was (or at least ended up) a virulent anti-Semite…and he was also Jewish! Mind you he did manage to get his entry removed from the Encyclopaedia Judaica:

http://en.metapedia.org/wiki/Fischer's_open_letter_to_Encyclopaedia_Judaica

Gentlemen:
Knowing what I do about Judaism, I was naturally
distressed to see that you erroneously featured me
as a Jew in ENCYCLOPAEDIA JUDAICA. Please do not make
this mistake again in any future editions of your
voluminous, pseudo-authoritative publication. I am not
today, nor have I ever been a Jew, and as a matter of
fact, I am uncircumcised.
I suggest rather than fraudulently misrepresenting me
to be a Jew, and dishonestly abusing my name and
reputation as a kind of advertising gimmick to improve
the image of your religion (Judaism), you try to
promote your religion on its own merits–if indeed it
has any!
In closing, I trust that I am not being unrealistically
optimistic, in thanking you in advance for your
anticipated cooperation in this matter.
Truly yours,

Bobby Fischer
The World Chess Champion

But back to Lindbergh – plenty of Americans with a natural low-level anti-Semitic Isolationist default setting thought a Jewish banking conspiracy was trying to draw them into a war with Germany in the late 1930s/early 1940s. Henry Ford had said the same thing about the Great War. Doesn’t make them right. Or even reprehensible in all their dealings. Just people of their time, exhibiting all the character flaws of human folly.

The greatest Arabic poet says that Islam cannot be modernised.

Adunis Asbar, known by his pen name Adonis, is a Syrian-born writer often considered one of the greatest living poets of the Arabic language. He has come under criticism for comments he made recently about Islam before receiving the Erich Maria Remarque Peace Prize, named after the famous pacifist and author of the classic World War One novel ‘All Quiet on the Western Front’.

In an interview with Die Welt he talked about one of the most pressing issues in Germany since the migrant crisis began, the idea of being able to integrate migrants from predominately Muslim countries into European societies.

Being raised a Muslim himself and having one of the greatest understandings of the language of the Quran, Adonis said: “You can not reform a religion. If they are reformed, [the original meaning] is separated from it. Therefore, modern Muslims and a modern Islam is already impossible. If there is no separation between religion and state, there will be no democracy especially without equality for women. Then we will keep a theocratic system. So it will end.”

Laying down a heavy critique of the Islamic world, he added: “Arabs have no more creative force. Islam does not contribute to intellectual life, it suggests no discussion. It is no longer thought. It produces no thinking, no art, no science, no vision that could change the world. This repetition is the sign of its end. The Arabs will continue to exist, but they will not make the world better.”

Adonis adds that Islam is based on “a totalitarian system” where “religion dictates everything: How to run, how to go to the toilet, who one has to love.”

Amnesty International Report: NZ poor on spying, Maori development and refugees
http://www.stuff.co.nz/national/politics/77216241/amnesty-international-report-nz-poor-on-spying-maori-development-and-refugees

The lefties at Amnesty are at it again pushing their favourite political barrows with full gusto.
Frankly if this all these sticky beaks can find which is supposedly wrong then we are doing fantastic I reckon.
Probably my favourite breach of human rights according to Amnesty out of this whole report however is out “token refugee intake”.
Yes anything short of 5 – 10 million and it’s not good enough in their eyes.
Oh well the report might make a good door stop around the home for someone anyway.

The Refugee Hostel: Germany’s Islamist Hell: A terrifying glimpse into Germany’s future.

” Violence in refugee centers became a national topic in Germany last October, only weeks after Federal Chancellor Angela Merkel invited into Europe one million, mainly Muslim, refugees. But exposure of this disgraceful situation appears to have had little effect, as German newspapers are reporting this month that conditions remain unchanged.

In fact, life in German refugee hostels has now become so unbearable thatreligious minorities, women traveling alone or with children, and homosexuals are fleeing their accommodations. For them, according to one paper, the word “hostel” has become synonymous with ‘”defenselessness”.

The constant harassment and mistreatment at the hands of Muslim male refugees is not only becoming intolerable and dangerous, but, for some, life-threatening.

“Torn bibles and insults, ripped off crosses and even blows to the face, the complaints about violence in the refugee centers do not let up,” the German newspaper, Die Welt, stated recently.

According to Rainer Wendt, chairman of the German Police Union, outbreaks of violence in German refugee centers were occurring before last August. In the first six months of 2015, police were called out 1,288 times to refugee asylums and registered 499 crimes. One problem is definitely the overcrowding, Wendt said, but there are also “knallharte” (very brutal) criminal structures among the refugees.

Most violent incidents occur between Muslims themselves. They form groups, Wendt says, according to “ethnicity, religion or clan structure and go at one another with knives and self-made weapons.” And the fights, which can involve dozens on each side, concern “power struggles” and are “above all, religious or politically motivated.” Numerous violent disputes have ended in death.

“Here the Sunnis fight the Shiites, there are Salafists of different brands …women are forced to wear the veil. Men are forced to pray. Islamists want to install their values and order there,” said Wendt.

But among the mistreated minority groups, one is especially targeted for abuse: Muslim converts to Christianity. Many are from Iran and Afghanistan where Christians are a persecuted minority and Islamic law demands that they be put to death for leaving the faith.

One human rights organization official says the chances of a Muslim convert to Christianity, unwilling to hide his faith, being subjected to violence or mobbing in a refugee center is “nearly 100 percent.” And the situation is only going to get worse.”

I am sad I missed Kea’s ‘bums rush’ live

Still it is quietly satisfying to see the plonker banned for a year.

Has anyone ever been lifetime banned?

Stephie – what you need to realise is that Mt Roskill is not typical of New Zealand and never will be.
It was pretty typical NZ pre 80’s but since that has turned into what some such as yourself think is the best thing since slice bread and others such as myself which think it is the worst thing that can happen in NZ.
Regardless of how much you see around you which impresses you the reality is that traditional NZer’s have abandoned the area in droves because they feel foreign living there now and are not comfortable residing in an area where they have nothing in common with the other residents.
A person with your sort of beliefs is the only type which could survive in this kind of environment because most can’t and that’s why they voted with their feet years ago.

“but in my neighbourhood I have living proof that Muslims can modernise, assimilate and become secularised ”

Unless you can read minds, you have no proof at all. Your anecdotal stories of bumping in to the odd Muslim are not evidence of anything.

People thought the San Bernadino terrorists were nice people, until they murdered 14 innocents.

ISIS terror links in New Zealand

“Considerable research from many people has gone into this story. The evidence of Kiwis involved with ISIS in New Zealand is alarming.

Given that worldwide the Islamic State is attracting widespread media attention, I write to bring your attention to a possible story on the rise and potential threat of Islamic extremism in New Zealand. John Key has been talking of sending SAS troops to fight ISIS and we have had what could be described as a veiled threat from one Muslim association and Key has mentioned there are some people in NZ who would want to fight for ISIS. John Hudson did a good job on a Sunday programme in shining a light on part of this story with the investigation into the former Black Power gang member turned Muslim extremist now called Haroon but there is much more to tell and to investigate.

The Federation of Islamic Associations of New Zealand has condemned the violence associated with ISIS but their statement fell short of condemning the ideology of ISIS or their enforced “infidel tax” (Jizya). The statement also seemed to suggest that allied forces fighting terrorism were just as abhorrent as the terrorists. Perhaps it is a stretch but it seems that the Muslim Community in NZ does not totally unreservedly reject the Islamic State and would embrace their goals of worldwide Shari’a law (though perhaps not through violence). What is more concerning is that there seem to be a group within NZ who would advocate for violence and would be willing to support IS.”

MM- “There more relevant point would be to ask whether there was any evidence that Muslims in New Zealand presented any kid of threat”

That is impossible to answer without a crystal ball but for me overseas experience indicates it is possible or even probable so I for one don’t want to take the risk just for the sake of NZ trying to be a goody goody on the world stage.

Andrei will enjoy this gem: http://www.spectator.co.uk/2016/02/farty-smelly-and-in-love-with-putin-you-must-be-middle-aged/

And then there is Vladimir Putin. Of all the things which strike at men when they are past the age at which women notice them, a fervid love for the Russian president is the strangest and apparently most ubiquitous. I have now lost count of the number of times I have been enjoying a drink with someone of my age group — male or female — and they have eventually leaned in towards me, glanced around to make sure nobody else is listening, and whispered: ‘Y’know, I’ve got an awful lot of time for Putin.

You keep on doing what you doing mate (being useless) because you don’t know what you are talking about.

Rolleston has had rapid growth and is a very desirable place to live, so I reckon you need to get a better spy.

I can confirm Rolleston is a shithole. Right smack in the middle of nowhere. Norm Kirk kicked it off back in the early 70’s..” town of the future ” was the catch cry..we all called it town of the doomed. The only reason it has taken these past 5 years off is due to the Cant earthquakes, people wanted somewhere to live within 30 minutes drive of the city. There are no mountains there, nothing in the way of water, just flat boring land as far as the eye can see. Dull, Dull, Dull, bit like Botany in Akl.

“….Has anyone ever been lifetime banned?”

Before the new comments policy came into effect, it was a lifetime ban to pretend to be DPF. From memory one person was permabanned under this rule. Of course the coming out as a liberal probably killed the poor fellows parents so a lifetime ban is generally preferable.

Life in Paremoremo Prison can be challenging:

A prisoner behind an attack on a convicted murderer which left the victim with a broken arm and fractured skull says he is not sorry.

Stead Nuku, 23, and Nigel John Lake, 32, were locked up in maximum security D-block at Paremoremo Prison in July. During an hour-long exercise break, the pair launched a sustained assault against Nikki Roper.

That doesn’t sound like an exercise break.

Lake initially attacked Roper, a flurry of punches leaving him on the ground. Nuku instructed him to break the murderer’s arm but Lake struggled to do so. Frustrated with how long it was taking, Nuku jumped in, kicking Roper and putting him in an arm lock which eventually snapped the bone.

Oh I see – it was an exercise break.

Roper is in prison because he murdered his ex-girlfriend. But his real crime, in the eyes of his prison mates, was pretending to be a Mongrel Mob member when he was actually affiliated with Black Power.

As she’s an expert in topology/quantum hypergeometry etc… she’s bound to appreciate the transformed parrot cage.
