Ms Hanson's comments on Muslims in Australia resulted in protests outside the ABC where Ms Hanson was appearing on Monday night's Q&A program, resulting in the arrested of six people before the show.
Inside the building, Ms Hanson lent her support to TV host Sonia Kruger's call to stop Muslim migration.
"Go Sonia! Because I think it's great that someone's actually standing up," she said.
Ms Hanson told the audience Australia was a Christian country, and that Islam was incompatible with the Australian way of life and culture.
The growing calls for a moratorium on Muslim migration have disappointed many Muslims including Dr Ghena Krayem, a University of Sydney Senior Law Lecturer and a former Muslim Women's Association President.
"I'm sure that they don't think about the impact of their words," she said. "They don't think about what it's like when people tell your children you can't play with us because you're Muslim."
'It unravels everything we've done'
Safwan Khalil was a baby when he escaped the civil war in Lebanon and he's now just weeks away from representing Australia in the Rio Olympics in the martial art of taekwondo.
He said he was saddened by the commentary on Muslim migration.
"It sort of unravels everything we've done," he said. "And unless people get to know your character they might take these comments seriously".
Australians identifying Islam as their religion make up 2.2 per cent of the population.
One of those is scientist Dr Mohammad Choucair, who has led an international team to develop breakthrough quantum computing technology.

His family migrated to Australia from Lebanon in the 1970s.
"I didn't let comments like this affect me my entire life. But for me it's really important to just focus on your task and what you're good at and how you can benefit our society," he said.
Those in the Muslim community say calls for bans on Muslim migration can have harmful consequences.
Dr Ghena Krayem said she tries where she can to minimise some of these harmful consequences, especially on her children.
"It's a toxic environment. The things I have to talk with my children about, day in day out, to debrief them on the issues that they hear in the media. Because I don't want my children to be victims. I don't want them to be victims of the hatred and the rhetoric that we constantly hear through radio, TV, etc."

Abbas Raza Alvi is the Australia President of the Indian Crescent Society.
He would like those critical of Muslim migration make more of an effort to meet other Muslims.
"She should see our families, she should visit our schools. We should invite her and she should come and see what Muslims are doing in Australia," he said.
For both Sonia Kruger and Pauline Hanson, Ghena Krayem has this offer.
"I wish that they could come talk to us and we could talk about these experiences. They may see us as human beings, rather than as mere objects that they can throw around."
