On Thursday, 10-year-old Mohammed, from Bankstown in NSW, called in to Richard Glover's ABC radio show to share his thoughts on current affairs - and suggested the world could learn a thing or two from his playground.
When asked about his life, Mohammed said "it's very great", and explained both he and his parents were born in Australia and his grandparents have been here since they were kids.
He added, "As a Muslim Australian I'd just like to say that I haven't had problems with my friends at school. They haven't been racist even though they're not Muslims... I think the adults should learn from the children. The children just understand each other and they get along and they don't care about what race or what religion or what culture [you are]."
Mohammed went on to say that non-Muslims should get to know Muslims, and not judge them on the actions of a few.
"I'd just like to say that I think non-Muslims are kinda making a generalisation about all of the Muslims from one or two Muslims, because like, instead of making generalisations, they should look at the facts, get to know us, and when you get to know us we're actually very good people."
The impressive clip was shared widely on social media once it was uploaded to Soundcloud.
