The Australian National Imams Council (ANIC) was created in 2006 after more than 80 Sunni imams met to respond to a crisis caused by comments made by Taj El-Din Hilaly. In 2011, they requested that the Darulfatwa-supported Muslim Community Radio Incorporated not have its licence renewed due to ties with Al-Ahbash and because of its promotion of "sectarian fringe views".
