A Federal Liberal MP is worried about the level of racism towards Muslims in Australia and says it must be tackled to curb violent extremism.

Queensland MP Ewen Jones recently signed a letter supporting the Government's push to strip dual nationals of their Australian citizenship if they are involved in terrorism.

He said he did so on the condition no-one would be left stateless.

But Mr Jones said society as a whole has a responsibility to tackle violent extremism and that racist attitudes did not help.

He said he was disturbed by the level of racist hate mail he had received directed at Muslims.

"I am very, very worried about the latent, for want of a better term, racism, that we are seeing in the country when it comes to our Muslim population," he said.

"I'm still getting people sending me stuff saying, 'what about these bloody Muslims' and you go back to them and say. 'you know that's a false story'."

Awfully hard for migrants to participate in workforce: Jones

He said social cohesion could also be boosted if governments looked at removing barriers to migrants getting work, such as the number of hours of supervised driving it takes to get a licence.

"I shudder to think what someone would have to do when they've got a 16 [or] 17-year-old child and no-one's got a car in the family and no-one's got access to a car," he said.

"How do they actually get 100 hours up?"

Learner drivers in Queensland must record 100 hours of supervised driving, including 10 hours of night driving.

"There are some very real challenges out there for people to participate in the workforce and we've made it awfully hard, we've made it hard for a reason because we want people to be safe, but by making it safer we've made it harder," Mr Jones said.

The Herbert MP's comments come after his Coalition colleague George Christensen last month declared multiculturalism had led to the problems Australia is facing with foreign fighters.

Mr Christensen said people coming to Australia should uphold one set of cultural values.

"We've just got to stop talking about multiculturalism, put it aside and let's talk about citizenship, let's talk about the values of being Australian," he said.

"I think a lot of the problems that we're going through with foreign fighters, with terrorist actions in Australia, really, if we want to look at the root cause of the problems it's this misguided notion of multiculturalism," he said.

"What I mean by that is people have ascribed to this idea that... all values from all cultures are equal, that none are greater and therefore all the problems that we see emanating from certain cultures can be considered worthy of inclusion in Australia — well, that's wrong."
