State government funding the Islamic Council of Victoria is under review after it asked for money to create safe spaces where Muslim youth "could be radical".
Premier Daniel Andrews says he's troubled by the council's suggestion for safe spaces where Muslim youth could express "inflammatory" views.
The ICV made a submission asking for taxpayer-funded "safe spaces" where young Muslims can express themselves openly without being judged, even if those views are inflammatory.

Mr Andrews says he is concerned about the proposal and the council's state funding will be reviewed.
