By Matt Siegel SYDNEY, July 23 (Reuters) - An Australian Islamist preacher who has expressed support for militants fighting in Syria and Iraq will face police surveillance but ** criminal charges in Australia, where he arrived on Wednesday after being deported from the Philippines. Melbourne-born Musa Cerantonio, who has been a vocal supporter of the Islamic State militant group and its leader, Abu Bakr Al-Baghdadi, was deported due to "invalid travel documentation", the Australian Federal Police (AFP) said. This month, Cerantonio, who converted to Islam from Catholicism at 17, said he would be travelling to fight in Syria, the Australian Broadcasting Corporation (ABC) reported, although Australian police said he never got there. "Mr Cerantonio's k**wn social media postings are considered offensive and disturbing, however, have been assessed as **t breaching Australian law to this point," the AFP said in a statement.
