Open letter to Stuff’s Nadine Porter:

Dear Nadine

The morning cereal and coffee was rudely interrupted when I read your analysis of Hannah and found “shots fired” in my specific direction:

“In June 2007 she was vocal against Islamophobia and co-signed a letter to Investigate magazine criticising a piece by Ian Wishart alleging, without evidence, that some of the world’s most extreme Islamic preachers had infiltrated New Zealand’s Muslim community.”

Without evidence?

Didn’t read the article then, did you?

Or the follow ups in 2012:

“WAMY’s own publicly stated aim is global Islamic “supremacy”, to “arm the Muslim youth with full confidence in the supremacy of the Islamic system over other systems.”[iv]

“So it was a surprise to discover that – despite our 2007 revelations, WAMY is still listed as a “partner” of FIANZ in a powerpoint presentation delivered by FIANZ in 2012. WAMY’s terror links had been expressly drawn to FIANZ’s attention in 2007, but the organisation continues to maintain a relationship.

“Also listed as a major partner is an entity named RABITA, which is the Arabic name for the Muslim World League – Rabita al-Alam al-Islami – accused internationally of funding and recruiting terror and spreading extremist Wahhabism. Rabita is Saudi-funded.

“Critics, including some in New Zealand’s Muslim community, have accused FIANZ of turning a blind eye to the growing infiltration of extremists into New Zealand”

Amateur. I’ll send you the cereal box when I am done… I think your journalism license is in there.
