Australia's Young Muslims. Dangerous Ground
Description
The planning of a new Islamic school triggers outrage among Sydney's non-Muslim residents. A protest against the project attracts thousands from all social backgrounds, brought together by their wish to see the Muslims leave town. Hostility like this has impacted the way Australia's young Muslims - most of whom were born in Australia - feel about their country. This program looks at the fraught relationship between these young people and the rest of the population there, arguing that Australia's tough stance on terrorism is alienating an entire community, and possibly creating radicalization among them as a result.
