Mr Al-Musawi's friend - who did not wish to be named - is a Shiite Muslim and said the shooting in Greenacre was motivated by the sectarian struggle in the Middle East.

'They called us "Shia dogs" and they threatened to come back down tonight and kill you, shoot you, whatever,' he told ABC Radio on Monday.  The man said they had taken no notice of the threats made on the night of the shooting - which also included 'IS lives forever' - but then he received a phone call saying his friend had been shot.

'He was walking his family home so he can come back and do the cleaning [at the Islamic Centre] and they shot him in front of his family,' he said. 'His wife, she just fainted.'  Mr Al-Musawi's daughter said he was shot from behind and she and her father were leaving the Islamic prayer centre.
