Members of New Zealand's Muslim community will return to the final day of the anti-terrorism conference in Christchurch, despite yesterday's walkout.

The country's first hui on Countering Terrorism and Violent Extremism is discussing how to mitigate the terrorism risk in New Zealand.

However, the opening day was marred by the walkout after Jewish Council representative Juliet Moses told the audience that leaders should be consistent in condemning terrorism.

She described the military wing of Hezbollah as a prescribed terror group.

Federation of Islamic Associations of NZ chair Abdur Razzaq.

He spoke to Susie Ferguson.
