Australian Greens Anti-racism spokesperson Senator Mehreen Faruqi has said that a new report by the Australian Human Rights Commission has found that 4 in 5 Australian Muslims have experienced discrimination, and a similar proportion feel the Christchurch mosque attacks made them afraid for their community.
Senator Faruqi is the first Muslim woman elected to the Australian Senate.
Senator Faruqi said:
“This report makes for disturbing reading, but I have to say I am not surprised by its findings, and I expect many Muslims would say the same thing. The discrimination is very real and so are its consequences.

Australian Greens Anti-Racism spokesperson Senator Mehreen Faruqi has responded to reports that police have arrested two Australian men and found a bomb during raids on the homes of members of a neo-Nazi group.
Senator Faruqi said:
“This is a downright terrifying development. There can be no more denials or deflections of the violent far-right threat. These people are deadly serious.
“While the threat has escalated dramatically in recent months, the government is no closer to presenting any sort of coherent strategy for combating far-right extremism. This is negligence of the highest order.
“There is violence inherent to far-right, fascist politics. Muslims, Jews and other targets of far-right terror know this all too well. Our government ignores it at all our peril. And then it will be too late.
