The head of the Muslim community in Ireland, Shaykh Umar al-Qadri, has said that he does not think Lisa Smith should be free to “roam the streets of Ireland” if she returns to the country. Only after that should she be allowed to “roam the streets. There are important questions that need to be answered such as did Ms Smith make any efforts to leave Syria? He said that like the Taoiseach he believed that Ms Smith’s child should be in Ireland. “I don’t believe she should be in any other country.”The Imam also said that he believed the Muslim leadership in Ireland should be involved in any investigation to assist in the de-radicalisation process.
