Muslim sect leaders shouted and heckled as they were fined more than $100,000 for illegally clearing bushland to develop a religious retreat north-west of Sydney.

Mustapha and Diaa Kara-Ali were told to stop work on the bushland hideaway at Colo in the Hawkesbury region in August last year.

On August 27 the Land and Environment Court ordered the pair to demolish and remove sheds, slabs, fences and every other structure they had illegally built on the property within 28 days.
