Controverial Islamic cleric Taj al-Din al-Hilali has reportedly claimed Muslims have more right to be in Australia than people of Anglo-Saxon descent because their ancestors were not convicts.
Sheik Hilali made the comments in an appearance on Egyptian television.
He also defended the comments he made last year in which he compared immodestly-dressed women to pieces of meat.
