The Muslim Council of NSW is or was a not-for-profit organisation based in Sydney, Australia. It was formed in 2003, with the support of 21 Islamic societies; 10 new societies and 11 transferring from the Supreme Islamic Council of NSW. It replaced the Supreme Islamic Council, which had replaced the Islamic Council of NSW, as a member of the Australian Federation of Islamic Councils (AFIC).[1] It represented AFIC in the state of New South Wales.[2]
In May 2006, the council, along with the Islamic Council of Victoria, came into conflict with AFIC, claiming that voting for the AFIC board members had not adhered to its constitution.[3]
Farouk Kassar was the chair in 2003.[4] In 2007 Neil Kadomi occupied the position.[5]
The president was Amjad Mahboob in 2011.[6]
