Default Australia's Muslim migrants on edge, race relations falter with rise of the right

[/QUOTE] Race relations in Australia have deteriorated so badly that some community leaders fear violence will erupt in a political vacuum where the new government, elected with a bare majority, must rely on the support of parties that have fomented the discord.

The potential for violence after a bitter election campaign, which featured calls for a ban on Muslim immigration, is palpable for people like Afghan-born Muhammad Taqi Haidari.

Haidari, from Afghanistan's Shi'ite Muslim Hazara minority, no longer tells people his name is Muhammad, preferring to use Taqi.

"When there is a problem like in Paris and now in Nice they hear the name Muhammad. They include me as one of those Muhammads," Haidari, who lives in Sydney's less affluent western suburbs, told Reuters.It's hard to be on the run, many countries can not cope with refugee reception, Sweden is no exception.
