Gardaí have been interviewing an Irish Muslim convert who claimed that there are at least 150 extremists operating in Ireland and that a second terrorist from the London attack spent time here.

Islamic leaders in Ireland have expressed fears that the terrorist attack in London will be blamed on Islam and fuel division and hatred in society.

An Irish Muslim cleric has been invited to the US by its government to discuss ways of countering extremism.

Dear Taoiseach Mr Enda Kenny,

Muslims from different parts of the country are to hold a “Not in our Name” demonstration on Dublin’s O’Connell Street in protest against the atrocities inspired by terror group Islamic State.
