In a submission to a parliamentary inquiry into multiculturalism, the Australian Federation of Islamic Councils (AFIC) also requested that taxpayers should help fund the expansion of Islamic schools and halal food outlets. The submission claimed that Muslims were limited from taking part in civic life when cut off from essential services such as Islamic schools, mosques andhalal food. It stated:
If the Government and politicians cannot recognise this as essential, it should no longer accuse the Australian Muslim community of intentionally living in enclaves.
A spokesperson for AFIC claimed that moderate interpretations of sharia could co-exist within the Australian legal system and added, "It has worked in England and it is working in the United States of America."

Muslim leaders have commented by saying that sharia is already being used in Australia to end hundreds of marriages a year. It is also being used by imams in business disputes and neighbourhood fights.
Sheik Moussaab Legha, from the Islamic Welfare Centre in Lakemba, Sydney, said that panels of imams oversaw hundreds of sharia divorces at a mosque in Greenacre, Sydney. Read the rest on:
