A Muslim cleric has called on all foreign Muslim scholars visiting Ireland to sign a declaration condemning extremism before they are allowed to preach at mosques in the State.
The call from Shaykh Dr Umar Al Qadri comes ahead of two radical preachers coming to Dublin to speak at the weekend.
He said he was not aware of the planned visit by Dr Othman Al Khamees and Dr Khaled Al Otaibi until contacted by The Irish Times but said allowing the two clerics preach a radical form of Islam would not help integration in Ireland.
