"MUSLIM clerics entering the country on workers' visas will face stricter conditions under a new proposal that will make it easier for the Howard Government to kick out extremists.
The Department of Immigration and Multicultural Affairs is examining ways of imposing a condition on religious worker visas to stop the hundreds of spiritual figures coming to Australia each year from inciting 'discord'.
Documents obtained by The Australian reveal concern in the Immigration Department and within the Muslim community that the visas religious workers use to come to Australia are not tough enough.
While the clerics must be sponsored by religious organisations to qualify for the special visas - which allow them to stay for two years - they do not specifically outlaw them from stirring trouble."
