Muslims told the Herald Sun they faced increasing abuse on the streets because of their religion.
"A lot of women get yelled at and told 'Go home', or 'There's no place for you here', especially women wearing the burqa," a Muslim source said.
"It happens in shopping centres, at the park or just when you are walking along in the street."
Ethnic Communities Council of Victoria director Ross Barnett said the new police initiative was needed.
He said judges had the power to take into account hate-related issues in sentencing, but police were not equipped to provide the evidence.
"The elements of the strategy include training for officers, capacity to start collecting data so they've got a sense of what is happening, how often it happens, and what the extent of it is," he said.
The Muslim Emergency Management Plan, financed by the state and federal governments, was devised by the Islamic Council of Victoria with support from the Department of Premier and Cabinet's Office of Multicultural Affairs and Citizenship.
Islamic Council general manager Nail Aykan said there was no doubt Muslims would suffer a backlash in the event of a terrorist attack.
"Hate crimes can originate from a multitude of matters but in the case of, God forbid, a terrorist attack, of course, you end up with repercussions," Mr Aykan said.
State Multicultural and Citizenship Minister Nick Kotsiras said the emergency plan arose from a deal struck by the former Bracks and Howard governments.
“Muslim victims of abuse are encouraged to save evidence, take photos and report any incident to police and their local mosque or Islamic organisation”
That is not a good sign.
Secular Western liberalism is in its death throes. One way or another it will not last much longer. The only question is which factors will put it down.
What about those who are Victims of MOSLEM aggression - can they do the same - and if so - will this stop Christian Crusaders for marching on capitals and surrounding cities - seizing naval ports - and sending in the Templar Knights...oh wait — we are talking about present times...I guess typtical hates crimes only apply to Moslems — because we KNOW they are the only ones the resort to violence on a global scale when a minor offense is published...the rest of us I guess are being targeted by anti-Christian groups like those found in Islam...(sarcasm)
This will be played up by the entire Moslem community worldwide!
There is no such thing such moderate islam.
You cant reason with islam, and mobots are
the results of this cult’s strong on on these
weak-minded people.
Stop appeasing these people, and stand strong
on your grounds, otherwise you will become like
those in UK, France, Scandinavia... who are
so politically-correct, that they themselves now
suffer from some kindof Stockholm Syndrome.
Muslim Emergency Management Plan
That brought to mind a very different picture
of how to manage Muslims in an emergency.
Do white girls who get raped by Muslims get charged with a hate crime?

Jews and Christians there are still okay’d to be attacked because of free expression of religion.
Scientologists could hitch them all up to E-Meters, then we would only have an obnoxius, rather than a violent obnoxious, cult to deal with.
They would be too broke to build bombs, after having sold their guns and knives to buy "advanced courses".
