PEOPLE have slammed a new development in Melbourne, calling it “a ghetto of Islam”.
A block in Melton South will be transformed into housing targeted at the Islamic community, with 75 separate lots and a mosque built in the middle of the neighbourhood.
It’s called Iqra Village and is said to become Victoria’s largest faith-based housing.
The development, which featured on A Current Affair on Monday night, sparked a lot of outrage on social media and there were myriad racist comments, with some even saying it shouldn’t be allowed.
“What a joke. If Australians build an Australian only suburb, we would all be racists,” a comment on Twitter said.
