Tony Abbotts comment has certainly brought out the true feelings. Muslim groups have launched a scathing attack on the Prime Minister’s call for Australian Muslims to join “Team Australia”, urging all Islamic leaders to boycott meetings with the PM. And in an extraordinary rift, the Muslims have even turned on their own leader, Australia’s Grand Mufti Ibrahim Abu Mohamed, lambasting him for meeting Mr Abbott on Monday to discuss new laws to safeguard Australians from a potential jihadist terrorist attack. The Islamic Council of Victoria, which represents the state’s 150,000 Muslims, yesterday boycotted a meeting with the PM after earlier indicating it would attend. And radical Sydney-based groups Hizb ut-Tahrir and al Risalah took to social media to attack Mr Abbott’s bid to unite Australians and protect the nation from extremist violence. They have made it blatantly obvious that they dont want to be part of team Australia. Time to stop treating them as if they were.
