ASIO wants to recruit Muslim spies. That’s what ASIO director-general David Irvine said during a rare speech to the Sydney Institute. "ASIO needs to recruit more people from within our newly arrived migrant communities," he said. “ASIO is not against Islam, it’s against terrorism.”
Ahmed Kilani from Muslimvillage.com said he welcomes the comments but thinks ASIO has been engaging with the Muslim community in a “very covert way”.
That’s what ASIO does Ms Kilani, when you are under suspicion, they don’t broadcast it to the world, they check you out in secret, it’s what they do.
Mr Kilani said that although it’s been ten years since the 9/11 attacks, there has been a lot of suspicion in the Muslim community regarding ASIO. And unfortunately, there has also been a lot of suspicion in the Australian community regarding immigrants who follow Islam. Happy Australia Day Mr Kilani.
