澳大利亚全国伊玛目委员会主席谢赫·沙迪·阿尔苏莱曼在皇家反犹太主义和社会凝聚力委员会作证时，呼吁在澳大利亚本地培训伊玛目与宗教领袖，以便他们更好地融入当地文化和语言环境[1]。该委员会正在建设伊斯兰高等教育学院，以培养"在澳大利亚出生或成长"的宗教人士[1]。
阿尔苏莱曼强调了当前的安全形势，指出伊斯兰恐惧症事件自2022年建立登记册以来增加了600%以上[1]。他同时表示，伊玛目组织在邦迪海滩袭击后与犹太社区团结一致[1]。该袭击事件造成15人遇难，嫌疑人纳维德·阿克拉姆因激进化而受到指控[1]。
阿尔苏莱曼是2017年被极端组织ISIS列入30人全球杀害名单的宗教领袖之一[1]。
Sheikh Shadi Al-Sulaiman, chair of the National Imams Council of Australia, has called for the establishment of imam training programs within Australia to help religious leaders better integrate into local culture and language. [1] Speaking before the Royal Commission into Antisemitism and Social Cohesion, Al-Sulaiman warned that Islamophobia incidents have increased by more than 600 percent since an Islamophobia Incident Registry was established in 2022.

The National Imams Council is currently constructing an Islamic institute for higher education aimed at developing imams and religious leaders who have been "born or raised in Australia." [1] Al-Sulaiman, who was among 30 global religious leaders named on an ISIS kill list in 2017, stated that his organization has stood in solidarity with the Jewish community following the Bondi Beach attack, which resulted in 15 deaths and saw suspect Naveed Akram face charges related to radicalization.
