PATTERN INVESTIGATED

The Australian Muslim Civil Rights Advocacy Network's Waleed Kadous says Australian Muslims have a number of outstanding concerns:

He says he has talked to many Muslims who are feeling isolated and disconnected from the rest of the community.

Mr Kadous says because of events overseas, people are stereotyping all Muslims.

He also says there is concern in the community about the Federal Government's proposed counter-terrorism laws.

"Our information from some of the people we spoken to today is that ASIO is talking to a lot of people," he said.

"They find this intimidating at times and they feel like again they're being targeted because of their religious affiliation and their choice to practice Islam."

Well Mr Kadous, the broader community probably has a few concerns of its own. Just guessing, mind you.
