MYTHS ABOUT MUSLIMS
In recent years, terrorist attacks around the world have consistently been linked to the religion of Islam. Recent arrests of suspected terrorist groups within Australia together with the debate about the proposed anti-terrorism laws currently before Parliament have further reinforced the link between people of the Muslim faith and terrorism in the minds of many Australians.
Unfortunately this association ignores the fact that the overwhelming majority of Muslims are loyal, law abiding citizens of this country and that their religion is one that preaches peace, human rights and tolerance.
The Edmund Rice Centre in Croydon (NSW) has recently published a document that challenges some of the common misconceptions about Muslim Australians and Islam
