I think to show that New Zealand adopt and accept muslim people, which i think is a great thing. But she is definitely milking it now that the spotlight is on her. Im waiting to see who will be the first politician to cross-dress to symbolize transgender acceptance. Imagine one of the worlds top leaders cross-dressing to win the public eye hahaha
You think, pandering the followers of a cult political ideology -because of terrorist's actions- is a great thing!?
@infoslave i think you're twisting the nature of muslim people into one strand of "cult political ideaology". I think islam fundamentalism is a barbaric cult, but i also think a very large amount of peaceful muslims are being subject to unjust judgement from binary, primative perceptions. I think the acceptance of peaceful muslims is a great thing, those who live freely and peacefully within the western (or whatever other) community that they join (in favour over there previous community too, don't forget). Are there more radical, barbaric muslims/islamists than there in any other religion? I believe so. However, that doesnt mean that those muslims who are peaceful and full of love deserve to be treated as equally dangerous or unwelcome.
Thats just my view
@theNecromancer I'm not, but thanks for sharing.
@theNecromancer I refuse to believe that "Peaceful Muslims" exist until I actually hear them condemn radical Islam. They can't and be honest with themselves.
@BrunosDad there are plenty of muslim people who completely despise radical islam. Check out maajid nawaz. He is a muslim, former extremist who now fights against. And that is a very fair believe, but i prefer to give the over 1 billion group some benefit of doubt (there must be some peaceful muslims out there).
