Muslim leaders want Dutch politician stopped from visiting Australia

Australia’s Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull is under pressure from Muslim leaders to cancel the visa for Dutch anti-Islamic MP Geert Wilders. Mr Wilders will visit Australia to launch anti-Islam party the Australian Liberty Alliance in Perth next week. Muslim leaders told Mr Turnbull at a high-level meeting on Friday that they fear his visit could encourage anti-Islamic sentiment and prompt more ill feeling against their community.

Other countries have refused him entry and we have recently rejected Chris Brown for behaving in a certain way.

Lebanese Muslim Association president Samier Dandan told Fairfax Media that Mr Wilders should be denied entry to Australia. He questioned why the government would make the job of Muslim leaders difficult, during a time when they were reaching out to the Muslim community and stressing the need for all Australians to work together to combat violent extremism. His meeting with other leaders and the Prime Minister on Friday, occurred a week after the shooting death of police accountant Curtis Change by Farhad Jabar, in what has been described as an act of terrorism.
