LEBANESE leader Keysar Trad said today he was hurt by claims the Muslim community had not done enough to help police track down those involved in revenge attacks linked to Sydney's Cronulla riot.
The newly appointed commander of Task Force Enoggera, Detective Superintendent Ken McKay, yesterday said leaders of the Middle Eastern community knew who was involved in the attacks, but had not told police.
Mr Trad, president of the Islamic Friendship Association of Australia, today rejected the suggestion.
"I am surprised and I am shocked and I am deeply hurt by comments of the nature that were made yesterday," Mr Trad told ABC Radio.
"(They were) just broadly brushing the whole community as if we are not co-operating. I don't know what more we can do."
