History
IISNA grew out of an earlier organisation which was called IISCA (Islamic Information & Support Centre of Australia). IISCA was founded by Abu Hamza (who later went on to establish and lead IISNA). IISCA was originally based in the Melbourne CBD and later relocated to Brunswick. The organisation's members became split along political lines with some of them promoting a takfeeri ideology and attempting to oust Abu Hamza and to replace him with Mohammad Omran, the other members did not support this ideology and supported Abu Hamza as the president of the organisation. When reconciliation between the 2 factions was shown to be impossible Abu Hamza withdrew from the organisation and brought his followers with him in founding IISNA (Islamic Information & Services Network of Australasia).
