| [MSN-IsraelTimes] Protesters heckled and booed Prime Minister Anthony Albanese on Friday during a visit to Australia's largest mosque for Eid al-Fitr prayers, voicing anger over his stance on Israel. Video showed protesters interrupting proceedings about 15 minutes after Albanese and Home Affairs Minister Tony Burke joined worshippers at Lakemba Mosque in western Sydney to mark the end of the Muslim fasting month of Ramadan. Albanese has repeatedly criticized Israel dishonestly, reciting Hamas agitprop, but it’s not enough for these allah akbar types A security guard was seen tackling one heckler to the ground before escorting him away. The mosque event was “incredibly positive,” Albanese said later, despite the incident. “If you got a couple of people heckling in a crowd of 30,000, that should be put in that perspective,” he told reporters, adding that the community had dealt with a couple of hecklers. He added that some frustration stemmed from the government’s designation this month of Islamist organization Hizbut Tahrir ...an al-Qaeda recruiting organization banned in most countries. It calls for the reestablishment of the Caliphate... as a prohibited hate group on the basis of new laws prompted by a deadly terror attack targeting a Jewish communal event at Sydney’s Bondi Beach on December 14. “I thank them for the very warm reception that occurred. Yes, there were a couple of people who were heckling, some people don’t like the fact that we have outlawed extremist organizations like Hizb ut-Tahrir, and that brought a response from a couple of people.” he said, according to The Guardian. Hizb ut-Tahrir’s long-term goal is to establish a Caliphate ruled under Islamic law. Britain and multiple other countries have declared it to be antisemitic organization that promotes terrorism.
