RNA (Ireland) – In an interview with the Irish radio show, Newstalk Breakfast, the Imam at the Shia mosque in Milltown in Dublin, Dr. Ali al-Saleh, has warned that Islamic extremists are active in Ireland.

He said Ireland is not doing enough to combat the threat of ISIL, the terrorist group which controls vast swathes of Iraq and Syria.

"They (ISIL members) live here, they are active at the level of small circles, giving lectures, talking to the youth," Dr. Saleh told Newstalk Breakfast.

"This is a problem. We've said that from the beginning, now we have it. We didn't tackle it from the beginning. It is a duty of us, the Imam, to talk openly against those things.”
