New Zealand lawmaker apologises over Muslim rant

[UmarJustice]

WELLINGTON- A New Zealand politician offered a qualified apology Wednesday for saying young Muslim men were a terrorist threat who should be banned from flying on Western airlines.

After his remarks were condemned across the political spectrum, Richard Prosser of the New Zealand First party said he had failed to acknowledge the vast majority of Muslims were law-abiding and did not support extremism.

Prosser said his call for all males aged 19 to 35 who were Muslim, looked Muslim, or came from Muslim countries, to be banned from flights was too broad, but said he still supported “targeted profiling” of airline passengers.

“I shouldn’t have called for a blanket ban, I should have called for an investigation into the merits of targeted profiling,” he told Radio New Zealand, without elaborating.

“That was something I shouldn’t have done and I’m apologising for that.”

Prosser also denied that a reference to people’s rights being “denigrated by a sorry pack of misogynist troglodytes from ‘Wogistan’” was racist, saying “there are probably some people who get upset too easily”.

Prime Minister John Key has described Prosser’s remarks as appalling, while Islamic community groups have called for him to stand down from parliament, something he says he will not do.

Former Labour Party politician Kelvin Davis responded to Prosser’s initial remarks with a tweet paraphrasing Mark Twain which read: “Better to stay silent and have everyone think you’re an idiot, than to open your mouth and confirm it.”

Nothing has changes as far as his primitive racist mentality is concerned, this statement is probably just a defensive reaction after his *** getting chewed by politically correct right wingers.

Its not racist comment, He was just cautious for his countrymen life. I don't know what made him to retract his comment. and moreover even if he took his comment back, the world know what Kiwis think about 19-35 year old Muslim youth.

Would like to see your reaction if it is said for hindustanis in Australia as bad apples and trouble makers.

Prosser said his call for all males aged 19 to 35 who were Muslim, looked Muslim, or came from Muslim countries, to be banned from flights was too broad, but said he still supported “targeted profiling” of airline passengers.

No the world doesn't know what kiwis think of 19-35 muslims men so you may have to bring in video evidence and atleast hundreds of petitioners to prove your point but that is something you can't do since the entire Forum know you are racist.

If some one says that (Hindustani in Aus are trouble maker) we will take that critics positively and try to improve ourselves. We will try to eradicate any issues btwn us (Ausis and Indian).

Exactly what Timithy Roger said to 41 year old Rahul Gandhi.

What Timithy said : "Mr Rahul , Islamic terrorists are growing/spreading in your country"
What Timithy mean : "Assholes, take care of India, if Islamic terrorism from India will hit USA, we American will restrict VISA processing which will affect IT industry. As Hindu and Muslims are look alike (In Indian subcontinent) we will strngthen the VISA processing for both".
What Rahul Undestand : "Timithy Roger is RSS Swayamsevak."
What Rahul respond : "Sir, Hindu terrorism is more dangerous in India"..

Big ROFL for RG..

The crux of matter is , due to Pakistani and Bangladeshi terrorists Indian too are suffering (as we look similar).

what stupid offtopics u are posting?? From where LTTE came into picture? And when LTTE spread across globe, are u out of ur mind? I never heard LTTE destroying WTC in USA.

Have u ever heard about Indian peacekeeping forces in Srilanka? It was against LTTE. Get ur facts right boy..


If some country will point out "Indians are doing bad" , Unlike others, Indian will introspect and try to be nice. Change is Indian culture, we happily adapt to the enviorenment, we don't impose our culture on others. We don't blow ourself all over world.

But as Pakistani/BD (who were Indian once) look like us, which give us bad name.
