Tony Abbott says it's time Australia stops treating Muslims with "kid gloves" and has a tendency to “pussy foot” around radical Islam.

The former prime minister said Australians should demand that Muslims conform to “our rules".

“The only safe Jihadi is one who’s been lawfully killed, lawfully imprisoned or thoroughly converted from Islamism,” Mr Abbott said.

“We need to ensure that every returning Jihadi can readily be charged and convicted, possibly through the creation of special courts that can hear evidence that may not normally be admissible."

Melbourne Radio 3AW's Tom Elliott agreed with Mr Abbott telling Sunrise "we shouldn’t have separate rules for Muslims or Indigenous people".

"We need one set of rules and obey those," Elliott said.

"The issue is not if there are enough rules, it's that are we prepared to apply the rules we have and apply them equally to everyone and on that, Tony Abbott is correct."

Advertising guru Jane Caro told Sunrise discussed Muslim's do conform to Australian laws.

"If they don’t, they can be arrested with breaking the law like anyone else and that’s what should happen," she said.

"What we don’t want to do is have different rules for different people nor do we want to go off half-cocked.

"We need to be careful in what we're doing and apply the law equally, and that means people are innocent till proven guilty, face charges and have their day in court."
