An Australian Islamic group has proposed the creation of taxpayer-funded "safe spaces" for young Muslims.
The Islamic Council of Victoria (ICV), which says it represents 200,000 Muslims, claims the community is suffering mental health issues and other problems because of the widespread suspicion it faces over fears of radical Islamic terror.
The ICV said such forums would enable young people to safely express "inflammatory views that would cause trouble if voiced publicly."
On "Tucker Carlson Tonight," American Muslim Blair Imani, executive director of Equality for HER, explained why she thinks such safe spaces are a good idea.
"I'm talking about safe spaces being somewhere where you can be who you are without fear of being surveilled, having violence committed against you or being harassed," Imani said. "And I think it's a good idea to have everywhere."
