Not that they're, uh, pro-terror. They just don't want police doing much of anything to stop it. Got it? "Muslim group condemns anti-terrorism laws," from ABC.Net, with thanks to JE:
A civil rights group for Muslims has condemned the Federal Government's proposed counter-terrorism laws.More than 1,000 people have gathered in Sydney to mark the start of a weekend of protests across Australia against the laws.
Organised by anti-war groups, the rally has also been attended by unions and civil liberties organisations.
It is one of several being held major cities around Australia this weekend, including Melbourne, Brisbane and Canberra.
The Australian Muslims Civil Rights Advocacy Network has protested against the legislation at a Sydney rally.
Network spokesman Waleed Kadous says the laws are a quick fix rather than a real solution to terrorism.
"The Government has violated so many conventions and treaties and principles that it is no longer clear who is doing the most damage to our freedoms, is it the terrorists or is it our own government? We don't know the answer any more," he said.

And these are the same people that say that human rights contradicts Islamic principles.

Australian Muslim Civil Rights - the right to do the Muslim thing to the detriment and at the expense of basic human rights of all Australians, such as the basic human right to life and liberty.
Typical rabble at this rally. The Hate-Howard Ferals. The white ants of our country.
The way I see it, is if Muslim groups protest these laws, then they're on the right track.

If your house is burning down ... you call the fire dept and then do everything you can to put the fire out until the fire dept get's there.
You don't stand back ... look for the cause and watch the house burn down!

Forgive me for being utterly simplistic but seeing that most terrorism is carried out by Islamists, would it not just be easier to relocate the aforesaid people?

"Network spokesman Waleed Kadous says the laws are a quick fix rather than a real solution to terrorism".
Thanks for pointing that out.
Here is a plane ticket back to (insert Islamic country of choice).

Perhaps Waleed would like to name a convention and/or treaty that the legislation "violates"
My lack of surprise at the stance taken by the Australian Muslims Civil Rights Advocacy Network is matched only by the amazement I feel when the socialist left, trotskyites and other assorted fellow travellers declare themselves to be the guardians of my individual liberties, and not only expect to be taken seriously by the MSM, but in fact are.

And yet again we see Muslims hailing from the most broken Islamic hell holes on earth lecturing and excoriating America on the tenets of plurality and civil rights... Their arrogance knows no bounds...
When one becomes aware of their sinister plans for curtailing the civil rights of non-Muslims under their fantastic vision for a pan global Islamic hegemony -- they stop being common citizens agitating for their place in the sun, and become, in my mind, seditious traitors, spies, and insurrectionists.
ENEMIES. CLEAR AND PRESENT DANGER...

HOWEVER, if Muslims AREN'T TERRORISTS, AS THEY CLAIM, they would have nothing to fear from laws aimed at catching terrorists, would they?
Muslims' paranoia in these situations puts the lie to their claims of innocence. No one who is NOT a terrorist is likely to over-react to anti-terrorism laws. Those over-reacting to these statutes can thus be considered suspect.

Good Lord, pythagoras. Are you attempting to suggest that a possible reason the Australian Muslim Civil Rights Advocacy Network may be opposed to anti-terror legislation is that the laws may target terrorists who may also happen to be Muslims? What are you, some kind of Islamophobe?

Absolutely let's send all those of islam who protest the anti-terrorism laws, back to their country of origin as their protest condemns them.
I'd rather lose a few rights now than my country later.
