(New Daily) Television host Sonia Kruger’s vilification of Muslims, and men telling women wearing hijabs on trains they are “terrorists,” should be against the law, Islamic groups say.
Australian Islamic leaders have urged Prime Minister Scott Morrison to tackle Islamophobia as he prepares to unveil new religious discrimination laws.
Australian National Imams Council spokesman Bilal Rauf, who attended talks with Mr Morrison on August 5, said the comments by the former Dancing with the Stars host on Channel Nine’s Today show was a perfect example of the problem.
“There was the case of Sonia Kruger, who said we should ban all Muslims and not let them come into our country,” he told the New Daily.
