As-Salaam-Alaikum
As much as I dislike labelling any single event as 'changing NZ for ever,' I think the terrorist attack on March 15 did. One of the many longterm effects is that non-Muslim New Zealanders now know so much more about Islam and many have befriended members of the Muslim community in their neighbourhood. The greeting 'As-Salaam-Alaikum' is now part of our lexicon.
