Members of Australia's Muslim community have set up a Facebook page to track religious hatred and discrimination.

The page, Islamophobia Register Australia, encourages people to report any anti-Muslim sentiment they've experienced.

Since its creation last week, it's already attracted more than one thousand likes.

One of the page's administrators Mariam Veiszadeh spoke to Santilla Chingaipe about what prompted the formation of the group.
