John Wilson & Dr Ali Selim discuss fears and stereotypes surrounding refugees

Are people cloaking fear of Islamic radicalism with "concerns about consultation and local resources" in Ballaghaderreen? Former Garda Whistleblower John Wilson and Dr Ali Selim of the Islamic Cultural Center of Ireland have the conversation that people have been afraid to have when it comes to the hosting of 84 Syrian refugees in the Abbeyfield Hotel in Ballaghaderreen. John Wilson believes the risk to Ireland in agreeing to provide refuge to these people from this war torn country is simply too great, while Dr Selim has reminded listeners that Muslims have been living peacefully in Ireland since the 1950s without incident.
