from a Wiki leaks cable: (bold mine kg)
‘…14. (C) COMMENT: Reftel A showed that the first large wave of Muslim immigrants from the 1960s through the 1980s had no choice but to interact with their non-Muslim neighbors, and was thus quickly initiated into traditional New Zealand life. They were largely English-speaking, educated service providers whose language abilities and job skills dovetailed with Kiwi society. However, since the 1990s, immigrants with limited language and educational backgrounds have come into an already established Muslim community with mosques, Halal
meat butchers, and government services available in their native language. If not carefully managed, this could lead to the kind of insulation seen in some Muslim populations in Europe that can potentially serve as a breeding ground for homegrown extremists. While we don’t see extremism taking hold here yet, our GNZ counterparts and many Muslim leaders recognize the ingredients are there. END COMMENT.

The report mentions that most earlier muslim immigrants were from Asia, the more recent (and problematic) from Africa and Arab countries.
What stands out most in this report is that multiculturalism simply will not work, that government policies in this area are actively contributing to separatism and pockets of alien culture which support and camouflage extremist cells. How much more evidence will it take before liberal idiots finally get the message that the route to a sane immigration policy must be either exclusion or assimilation? A few suicide bombings?
