Excerpt:
Religious leaders have called for calm on Australia Day and police have warned they will clamp down hard on Gold Coasters who get caught up in any anti-social behaviour aimed at the city's Muslims.
Their comments follow concern that alcohol-fuelled youth may vent their anger against Muslims on January 26, following terrorist attacks in Paris.
Pastor Erica Nugent, of the 500-strong Pentecostal Surf City Christian Church, appealed to Christians across the city to be true to their faith by showing love to others on Australia Day.
