On Tuesday’s show, we heard from Brenda Power of the Irish Daily Mail who says that the arrival of thousands of Muslim men threatens the freedoms of Western women.
Following the shocking attacks in Cologne and Sweden, many have been quick to blame the Muslim faith for the attacks.
Support for refugees in Germany has fallen amid claims that Muslim men treat women as second class citizens and therefore have no place in Western society.
But is that true? How are women treated in Muslim countries and do Muslim men threaten the freedoms of Western women as claimed by Brenda Power?
Dr Ali Selim - Senior member of the Islamic Culture Centre of Ireland, Professor Roja Fazaeli- Lecturer in Islamic Civilisations at Trinity College Dublin and Dr Umar Al-Qadri - Head Imam of the Islamic Centre Ireland join Matt to give their reaction to Brenda Power's remarks.
