Frankly no religion should be heard by any of our parties.

They are using Muslim as a people in this case and not a religion.

The alternate (better) title may be clearer:

The major parties' policies on Israel and Gaza seem wildly out of step with the views of voters they must win

The alternate (what I would actually consider the main) title is almost always better on the ABC News site. And even though I say "almost", I haven't actually seen a case where the front page headline was actually better than the one on the article page. It is always less accurate and more clickbaity. Often more emotional/inflammatory too.
