KEY POINTS:
Australian police broke up a large crowd protesting against plans to build an Islamic school on Sydney's outskirts, with some vowing to assault students and their families if it proceeds.
A male protester said outside a meeting called to oppose the school's construction that if it was approved, "about 30 Aussies" would attack any Muslim who showed up.
Community tensions have been rising in the small town of Camden, on Sydney's south-west fringe, over plans to build a school for 1200 pupils.
Two pigs heads were rammed on to metal stakes and an Australian flag draped between them on the site of the proposed school last month.
