Hundreds of people have protested against the building of a new Islamic school on the outskirts of Australia's largest city, local officials said Tuesday.
Around 1,000 people held a meeting late on Monday to object to the proposal by the Quranic Society to build the 1,200-place school in Camden, a satellite town southwest of Sydney.
Large parts of southern Sydney are now heavily populated by Middle Eastern migrants, many of them Iraqi Muslims, but opponents deny any anti-Muslim bias.
"Let the people decide," Emil Frenchevich, the organiser of Monday's meeting, told national radio.
