Irish imam seeks dialogue to halt radicalisation

Gardaí say they are monitoring radicalisation in Ireland and that education is key to understanding

Dialogue is the only way to prevent acts of evil, an imam said yesterday, as the assistant garda commissioner insisted that An Garda Síochána was monitoring radicalisation in Ireland closely.

Commenting at the annual conference of the Ahmadiyya Muslim Association of Ireland (AMAI), held yesterday at the CityWest Hotel in Saggart, South Dublin, Detective Chief Superintendent Michael O’Sullivan insisted it is wrong to associate radicalisation with ethnic minorities.
