Most Muslims in foreign Countries want Sharia implemented. Over 75% of them in Britain,Germany,etc want it. I'm sure we'd get a very similar number if polled the Muslims here.

wanting it and getting it are 2 different things. there is no chance of sharia law happening in ireland.

Before the round about ensues can people post transcripts or other proof on what he said about his support or not of Sharia law.

In this interview all he said about support for Sharia was that Sharia told him that he should pray 5 times a day and fast for Ramadan.

Neil Prendeville tried his best to link Halawa with extreme views, but wasn't successful.

Ibrahim owes no answers to anyone in this country. He was found innocent of wrong doing by one of the most corrupt judiciary systems in the world. He was young at the time and possibly made some poor choices and was easily led.

We live in a racist little enclave and this episode shows it.

Oh and thays Neil penderville of Airplane fame.....

Horseh1te. We are entitled to answers- this turnip has cost the state a small fortune in diplomacy, we are perfectly entitled to seek the truth. If you want to label that as racism then off ya go, label label label to your hearts content. It means nothing to me.

I see the pro-Halawa crowd show up to point out Neil Prendeville once gave himself a treat on a plane. Big deal. Does it negate his research and interview technique ???

Yes. He should spell out his views if he has them.

Ah here. I'm no IH fan but if every public figure was to spill his true inner views we would have chaos. We don't own him

Is he forced to go on air?

For a fella who was banging on about how he wanted his privacy and return to a being a nobody in the street he seems to be turning into a bit of a media whore.

They probably said the same thing in Sweden and there is now over 50+ Sharia No Go zones. Same in Britain,France,Germany,etc. Its arrogance or willful ignorance to think it could happen here as well. With our weak willed politicians and Gardai it could happen if/when enough are in the Country and take over certain sections.

How does the no go zone work? Is there a check point etc
And do you have a link?

Very odd interview.

Man gets locked up for years after a political protest. Returns to Ireland and the reporter want to know his views on Gay marriage and Sharia law.

Given that the ISIS flag is widely known (You can Google it and it's been on the 6 One and other sources numerous times) I imagine it's the same as the flag but smaller and able to wrap round ones head.

Plenty of them in England- places that are virtual no-go zones for English natives. Especially women.

I agree. He often doesn't listen to their answers either. "Ah, we won't dwell on that..."

As far as I know there is a black flag with a specific slogan in white writing, a black background with white writing is not unusual.
Unless Prendeville saw something that says Up ISIS, he could always find the picture and maybe have someone translate it.

the "truth" is he went to egypt, was arrested for protesting, was held in jail for 4 years and acquited.

Does his father ever give interviews?
I never hear him mentioned, I thought he was some sort of big wheel in a mosque here?

Im not advocating shakira law but surely a corner stone of our country is to allow other cultures to co-exist in harmony.

I think I decide what questions I think are relevant. I don't need your selective censorship imposed on such a high profile and indeed important case.

Glad to hear him have to answer tougher questions but no one came out of that well IMO. Neil didn't listen to any answers and often went off on tangents that had nothing to do with the interview.

Yes, he only intermittently engaged with them, and demonstrated no evidence of being open-minded on the issues. It was a hatchet job that I think is being received well on boards only because of the soft treatment he has received elsewhere. Two wrongs don't make a right

Eh, no, you're not. I'm no fan of his at all but he does these interviews voluntarily. He could tell you to go get ****ed if he wanted.

No **** sherlock, I was speaking about a poster, who ironically thanked your post without hint of self awareness by the way, who attacked someone for using the correct spelling Moslem, then claimed the correct spelling was actually Muslem (sic)

No there shouldn't. You come to our Countries you adapt to our culture or laws or get lost. If anyone wants to live under Sharia law then they should pick a Country that already has it and go there immediately. If our flag offends then find one that doesn't offend you and move there immediately.

We should be adopting a "I don't care how it is back home. You're not going to turn our Country into the ****hole you just left."

Beechwoodspark

Good on Neil for putting the spotlight on the inexcusable and extremist views of the Muslim brotherhood.

The two Halawas were pathetic when asked some pertinent questions. The brother particularly so.

The sister went into rant mode in a desperate attempt to distract and deflect Neil's questions.

Nah, Sharia law is one thing but people who move from one country to another will always, invariably, bring some of their culture with them.
