UW, we aren't "way over there". We are right here!! You are way over there. We have plenty of Islamic Jihad types here, but so far, they have thought we are okay so haven't got too stroppy. Our government stupidly imports more and more of them.
But they will get stroppy. There is a Moslem MP and he is pushing for Islamic ways, of course, as he would. Nothing wrong with that. That's what people do. But it's a problem for the rest of us who don't want to be Islamic.
NZ has the arrogance to think that all the immigrants will become nice little Kiwis, like us. That's racist and stupid. They won't. Sure, after a few generations they'll be the same, more or less, but that's a second and third generation matter, if there is a good blending system.
If there's an ideological basis for remaining separate, they will. Jews never just became regular Kiwis, but they don't have an ideology that everyone has to be like them. Chinese became regular Kiwis [called bananas by fob Chinese = yellow on the outside, white in the middle ... fob = fresh of the boat] because they don't carry ideological baggage other than family ways, work, saving, education, which are good ways, which the rest in NZ could follow as a good move. Moslems specifically do have ideological baggage and are NOT allowed to mix in and become good little Kiwis.
There will be problems and that means attacks by Moslems on the rest of us and how we do things. Imagine girls and boys in the same swimming pool for example, without a lot of clothes on. Omigod!!
I'm a strong believer in paranoia and fear. Panic is good too. Hypervigilance a byword. I was obviously one of very few who thought that open cockpit doors was a mad thing. I like to look for what might get me. There are LOTS of things. All living things seem to think I'm a form of food. Humans think I'm some sort of robot to be enslaved. Life's tough, even hiding down here away from most of the billions of people.
