Ahmed Zaoui: Piss-taker or misunderstood?

**Expert** · 21st March 2007, 21:16

Ref. NZ Herald Article

I just read this (yes I know I'm behind a bit).

This Ahmed fella is involved in a march that culminates in the New Zealand flag being trampled, spat on and burned?

Is he taking the piss out of the country that has taken him in and protected him and continues to pay (a vast amount of) tax payers money to keep him.

Or is he something like a modern day messiah who should be revered for being an upstanding member of the community and an example to us all?

It's all a misunderstanding... just like when he arrived in the country and it says "have passport ready" - HE thought it said "cut up your passport and flush it down the toilet".

A simple misunderstanding is all...

I agree!!!!!!

We are so dumb to think it could be anything else.

If it had not been for the Greens he would have been gone long ago. That party should stay with what they are good at, like saving the planet. When they get into real politics it all turns to custard.

Pretty tenuous connection between Zouai and the "four activists" who burned the flag.
As I read it he happened to be in a peace march with a fairly large number of people, 4 of whom were stupid - to make their point they should have burned the US, or Aus flag if they wanted to show contempt for countries that are actually at war in Iraq.

That's a legal requirement if you are entering as a refugee. I shit you not.

On another note:

NO MORE FUCKING AHMED ZAOUI THREADS.

IT HAS BEEN DONE TO DEATH.

I've never been a fan of the Greens but they have been advocating the dangers of 'global warming' for years. Both Labour and the Nats now accept this and are putting in policys as a result. Of course the question is 'is' global warming the result of man or is it another 'natural' occurance as has happened in the past? That's another issue not of this thread.

It's when the Greens start getting into humanitarian issues that they get it so wrong. If they stuck to hugging trees etc the A. Z. problem would not have occured. Which was the point of my post

Send him home - he is just pissing me off now.
He thinks he can come in here and say how hard done by he is. FUCK OFF!!!
Im sick of this place being the Nana State of the world.
We dont want your refugees - go live in a hole somewhere.
Nz immigration isnt that impossible to get through - how far do you think a refugee would have gone in ANY OTHER COUNTRY?

So we put everyone at Puke the other weekend on trial for manslaughter??? You were all there, involved in the activities that killed someone in a sidecar.

The actions of a few do not demonstrate intent or culpability of the masses...

uh huh... keep talking...
