Let’s interrupt your silly post there. Yes, I live in New Zealand, and have for a few years, and yes there are not too many muslims here, most that are here are from Indonesia, Pakistan and Somalia.
However, I was born and raised in Vancouver Canada, and spent the first half of my adult life there and also enjoy British Citizenship — two facts that could be gleaned in part from my About page, as well as previous posts from me.
Both places have more than their fair share of muslims. It would be safe to say that I know quite a few of them, and in fact I am in regular communication with several.
And yes, I do occasionally dine and go to bars with a few here, too. You have asked why — it is because they are good company. I don’t need any better reason than that.
In the past I have been of the opinion that “All muslims are terrorists” and lumping them all into a single group — much like we did with the Huns and the Japs in World War II. Unfortunately for Western Civilization, that would be a serious mistake with this particular enemy.
Accordingly, my views are evolving, based upon receiving better, more informed information. This has included making renewed contact with people I know and knew overseas, as well as including into my social circle people that I would not have included before.
So before you start running your mouth and calling me a Troll, why don’t you instead take a running jump and go boil your head?

Silly me. I forgot all about the Turks, who would technically also be muslim. However they are in sufficient numbers and such a well-integrated part of NZ society ever since WW-I they are practically invisible.
The rest of my post remains stet. Plonker.
