AFIC’s Engagement with One Nation

An Open Letter From The Australian Muslim Community

We were dismayed by AFIC’s most recent press release and related social media posts (including a 40-minute video of your meeting with Mark Latham and later posing for photos with him).  This conduct by AFIC is nothing but disrespectful to our community.

AFIC’s actions directly undermine the significant community work and advocacy many have undertaken to combat racism and religious discrimination over the years.
