Then watch this clip from last night’s The Project. Crikey contributor Irfan Yusuf was interviewed about Muslim group Hizb ut-Tahrir, and had the gall to compare the radical group to Andrew Bolt.

In discussing the suggestion that Hizb ut-Tahrir said Muslims singing the national anthem was a form of forced assimilation, Yusuf explained that he never had to sing the national anthem at school (“we sung the school hymn. Our school board didn’t like the national anthem because they were all a bunch of monarchists and they preferred ‘God Save the Queen’”). But Yusuf just didn’t understand Price, who argued “if you’re going to a tax-funded school, what’s wrong with singing the national anthem?”
