The problem isn't Arabs, it's Moslems. There is a certain overlap, but the causal problem is the Moslem ideology of global dominance and subjugation of infidels, heretics, women and apostates: <on this thread, too,there are those who claim peace with arabs is impossible.>

When an ideology is dominance, and one opposes being dominated, peace is only possible by complying with the dominating people. I comply with the thieving thugs and kleptocrats who rule New Zealand because the alternative is prison or death. They have no moral or ethical standing. They just have power. Not ethically different from a Mafia which runs a protection racket.

It's not far removed from slavery. It's just slavery with more paperwork and variable terms of enslavement according to the individual. There is no choice. Tax is payable, or else!! Confiscation is everywhere. Like turkeys voting for another Thanksgiving, people keep voting for more of the same, then wonder why things get worse.

Given the tax plunder in NZ, it might even be better to be Moslem. I'm not sure what the confiscation rules are for Islam, but the repression would be unpleasant - though I like the punishment for thieves, murderers and other evil-doers [if not the methods used to determine guilt].
