The Islamic Council of WA is planning to set up a hotline for its members in Western Australia, concerned Muslims will be targeted after vandals damaged a mosque in Sydney on Friday.
Last week more than 800 police raided homes in Sydney and Brisbane in the largest counter-terrorism operation ever in Australia.
One of the arrests involved 22-year-old Omarjan Azari, who is accused of plotting to kidnap a member of the public and have them beheaded.
After the raid, more than 200 members of the Muslim community in Sydney held a rally in the western suburbs, angry they were being unfairly targeted.
Islamic Council of WA spokesperson Abdullah Eshtewi said there was a lot of fear in Perth's Muslim community after the raids on the east coast.
"There are some real concerns, especially after what happened in Sydney with the vandalism on the Mosque," he told Fairfax Media.
"There are fears for the security of Muslim Australians and we have had reports of an individual been racially harassed, but we don't know if it's just rumour at the moment.
"We are setting up a hotline and we want members of the community to call the hotline or police if they get harassed or see any mosques getting vandalised.
"We are disappointed in the way the raids were handled and how it was leaked to the media."
Mr Eshtewi said the council hadn't heard from Premier Colin Barnett, who announced on Sunday he was planning to meet with Muslim leaders in WA.
The Premier said he wanted to meet with leaders to quell any unrest in the community and reaffirm to the Muslim community they are welcome in WA.
"We haven't been offered an invitation," Mr Eshtewi said.
"But we would definitely welcome a meeting with Mr Barnett."
BUMP!
Is there also a hotline for concerned Australians worried they will get beheaded by atrocity loving Aussie ISIS Muslims?
Idiots! They should start deportation precedings immediately!
If Muslims want respect, they need to earn it. Get rid of terrorists.
“There are some real concerns, especially after what happened in Sydney with the vandalism on the Mosque,” he told Fairfax Media.
Wonder if the culprits were Muslim?
As well they should.
No doubt... They didn't want the Australians to know how wretched the entire muzlim population is...
Hopefully the Aussies will drive them back to the desert...
I recommend they seek a muslim nation where they will be welcome.
They can swim back to Arabia where they came from.
(yeah, I know ... sharks ... storms ... strong currents ... )
why do muslims strive to get out of the hell holes that are muslim countries......and then try to change the countries that they escape to into muslim hell holes....makes no sense....just stay home.
You mark and target us for death and we target you for legal jeopardy and you complain?
A sane government would start deporting these people back to their countries of origin.
“why do muslims strive to get out of the hell holes that are muslim countries......and then try to change the countries that they escape to into muslim hell holes....makes no sense....just stay home.”
Why do Progressive/MarxistLeftists in this county “fan out” from their initial shittholes in New England to infect the rest of this country? How is that really any different than the Muzzies (except that they haven’t started any beheadings yet). The’ve made a mess of California and Florida, and now they are backtracking to the rest of the West and the Mid-West. For me equating Muzzies and Marxists is easy. They both have versions of the “Koran,” and they are completely at ease lying to anyone and everyone about what their real goals are.
Targeted! Whatever for?? For being members and supporters of a death cult that is threatening civilization? Were it me there would not be a Muslim left alive on this planet! The Australians had better cleanse their island while they can.!
Why not GO BACK TO YOUR BACKWARD PIECE OF CRAP AREA if you are in fear, you pedophile camelf**kers?
100% correct!!!
Radical Muslims want to behead you.
Moderate Muslims want radical Muslims to behead you.
Until 9-11 I had no feelings about islam or mooselimbs.
9-11 happened and then my nephew got killed in Fallujah,
Mooselimbs can ALL go to hell
You forgot that its good exercise...;-)
