2019 was always going to be a big year for political Islamification in New Zealand. By ‘Islamification’, we mean the aligning of NZ law with sharia law. Initially the sharia creep started with halal foods, and now the average Kiwi eats 100% halal slaughtered meat, notice the 1% want a say in our prison and police system also. This is no secret. This from a January 2019 FAINZ newsletter:
