Muslim leaders here are worried a push to send the SAS to fight ISIS-linked terrorists could fuel a backlash among the Muslim community in New Zealand.
Speaking to Radio New Zealand, Wellington's Kilbirnie mosque's Secretary of the International Muslim Association of New Zealand, Tahir Nawaz, says supporting the fight in Iraq would be a bad idea.
"We are a very good community here, we are very co-operative," Mr Nawaz said.
"Once New Zealand troops are sent there, our public attitude could change. At the end of the day there would be people living here whose roots are in the countries where New Zealand would send the troops."
Tony Green the Secretary of the Federation of the Islamic Association of New Zealand believes more western boots on the ground would further radicalise Muslims in the west.
"That potentially fuels things because the whole martyr kind of scenario that's been painted by the groups calling themselves IS, that would fan the flames more than anything."
When asked if he believed a terror plot like the one in Australia could happen in New Zealand, Mr Green said he thought it was unlikely but there were no guarantees.
"I can't give you an answer to that, but I just pray that's not the case. I mean we're watchful, and we try to engage with the wider community. I hope it's not the case, I seriously do."
Mr Key has said that he would seek advice on sending SAS troops to Iraq if a request was made by the US for New Zealand to join the conflict.
Not all are Christians but I am sure there are Christians in the groups as opposed to Christians threatening anyone who blocks Westboro.
As usual, muslims first, citizens of their adopted country, last.
Maybe they just need to grow some hair on their kiwis and tell the muslims to get lost.

Muslims in New Zealand are young, energetic and growing
“New Zealand Muslims are fortunate to be able to observe their faith in peace and tranquility.”
Mohammed Answar Ali, secretary of the New Zealand Muslim Association.
Although a minority, less than 1% of the total population, the Muslim population in New Zealand is young, energetic and growing. It is estimated that there are approximately 17,000 Muslims in New Zealand representing a wide range of nations including Fiji, Pakistan, Iran, Iraq, Afghanistan, Somalia, Indonesia and Malaysia. The largest proportion of New Zealand’s Muslims originally come from Fiji and are ethnically Fijian Indian. There are also a growing number of local New Zealanders who are converting to Islam.
At the end of the day there would be people living here whose roots are in the countries where New Zealand would send the troops.”

Then go back to those countries, islamonazis!

“”We are a very good community here, we are very co-operative,” Mr Nawaz said. “
No you aren’t. You support Islamic terror over the country that (foolishly) allowed you in.
Muslims in New Zealand have to decide whether they are jihadis or not. Deport anyone in NZ who is a jihadi.Send them back to the factory as defective human beings.
This is what it will come to in the USA, but the left is standing in the way. That will change as a few of the left experience beheadings, torture , kidnapping and suicide bombers at the Democrat National Convention and elsewhere.
This is no joke. Obama and his minions mean to destroy the USA by plague ( ebola) , famine ( stop farming anyway they can), and war ( Get Iran their nukes).
Civilized people all over the world have to step up and end the jihadi menace.
Makes me think there’s no such thing as a peaceful mohammedan. ....As I’ve written over and over, a peaceful Muzzie is a terrorist that hasn’t come up to bat yet. This article is the perfect reflection of that.
