    Islam, like all other religions, is not right for anywhere.

    You could be eating your last cookie if you said that in the wrong place.

    One who possesses such a poor grasp of both grammar and syntax really has no place calling another poster uneducated.

    I'll happily stand against uneducated bigotry.

    That's what Mohammed must've heard from Aisha when he had his way with her at the age of 9.

    Given the sheer destruction wrought by Christianity in Ireland it's hard to see how Islam will improve things.

    It's a stupid thread title & a stupid poll.
    I haven't seen one post where someone believes Islam should take over Ireland!
    The anti Muslim's would have you believe that Islam is going to be the law here any day now.
    I hate to point out to the majority of people on this thread, everyone can commit crime, everyone.
    It doesn't matter what colour, nationality or religion you are.
    & painting millions of people with the same brush because of their religion is prejudice.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 14,311 ✭✭✭✭weldoninhio


    Theres literally not been one instance of violence or forcing of anyone to convert to Islam at any time in Ireland since Muslim people have been here. Theyre the ones being persecuted and forced to except other cultures and religions and dress a different way and eat different food, theyre the ones suffering from violence and discrimination, not us.

    Tell that to the family of the poor Japanese guy that was living in Dundalk.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 14,311 ✭✭✭✭weldoninhio


    Did the dogs on street tell you to write this drivel


    "The french didn't suddenly start harassing their woman"

    This is pure utter stupidity we see on this thread. Did crime in France only begin recently?


    Seriously how is anyone supposed to take you seriously. You aren't using reasoning, you aren't logic. Your grasping .

    Anyway , if your so worried about the oncoming hordes of the invasion sponsered by merkel , perhaps take up arms because soapboxing here under various names.

    I'm grand, i don't need vilify an entire religion, i dont need to dehumanize down syndrome children separated from there parents at an american border, i don't need be dishonest in my position.

    That won't happen here though, cause we're Irish, we do it better, ole.

    I`ve never been able to work out an explanation as to why some people think Ireland will be any different to any other European country that has had an increase in followers of Islam , and the social problems that come with it .

    Sure , it'll be grand , everyone loves the Irish , eh ?

    Have to agree with you. The poll is a too simplistic, and suggests a problem with Muslims in general.

    I think the basic problem with a lot of the "right on" posters here is that they simply have no idea what Islam is. They just see a minority that they feel compelled to defend and virtue signal about. I was exactly the same a few years ago until I actually read up a bit more on the subject.

    Islam is not just a religion, it is a political movement and a complete way of life. In the west, we just don't understand this. It would help if people viewed Islam as akin to fascist political beliefs akin to National Socialism, rather than a minority religion.

    This doesnt just hit the nail on the head, it pounds it in to submission, leaves it for a bit and comes back with a sledgehammer.

    But there's no differentiation like that given to Muslims.

    For the simple reason that the ideologies are different. Islam calls its followers to acts of violence in its name, Christianity doesn't.

    As to my confidence in what i think will happen, it's based on our society becoming much less secular, women becoming more empowered and educated, and legislative support for those in oppressive situations.

    Less secular?

    If I'm being attached by someone who is severely mentally ill, what religion they were brought up in is of little consequence. The (alleged) perp is still locked up in the CMH and is unfit to plead.

    No, I was taking one faith that expressly commands its followers to convert by all means possible (including by way of violence) and another that does no such thing.

    He was in court on 28th June and is due back today. You wouldn’t know this because it’s near impossible to find. I saw a tiny sidebar report in the Herald about the first appearance. He’s claiming not to remember the attack. Still no mention of where he is from though, which is strange, considering he has a translator with him in court.

    It's not Hindus or Christians or Sikhs running around in Europe with substantial numbers relatively speaking trying to murder people via running them over via a vehicle, turning people into mince meat with explosives, knifing people to death, all while shouting Allah akbar doing it. 

    The attacks we saw last year were just the tip of the iceberg which managed to get through. European intelligence agencies are probably stopping way more than the ones we even know about. If Leo Varadkar has his way Ireland WILL see a bombing or such terrorist attack, it will be inevitable.

    Don't come to the people who are giving a heads up about this when it happens and say you didn't see this coming.

    That sums up one of the big problems with Islam very nicely. :)
    And sums up why unless there is a sea change in their perspective, Islam will never be right for Ireland.

    I'm not sure you know what substantial means.

    They stopped a average of 2 attacks happening every 3 days last year.

    Scary

    Right now 91% saying no, says it all really.

    Yet the MSM will try and push push push for it - why ???

    Why is Sean O Rourke on RTE saying a Syrian refugee that can barely speak english who has lived in Ireland (Cork) for ~1 year is a Corkman ??
    with a straight face?

    Thanks. Have reread of your own posts there.

    I've just looked at your posts in "Oldest first".. Below are some examples.


    Would like to see Hagan get in ahead of White. Will Leinster bring in another tight head next season when White goes to Connacht?

    I've looked at the video again and again. Just horrible. Perhaps Hawkins was slowing the ball, Clark was trying to clear him out and didnt mean to pull his arm in that fashion, trying to come up with an excuse, just cant see one.

    Could well see NZ having a 5-8 lead for the majority of the match. A late counter attack try finished by Savea to seal the match. Great write up, it's got me going for a hopefully a stellar game



    Would you mind explaining what on Earth happened to your English grammar and general ability to get your points across? You were totally fluent.
    If it's a stroke or something, I apologise. But others have pointed it out as well. You're the most noticeable person who'd be mistaken for a non-native speaker on the site recently.


    Edit: Nevermind. You just seem to be very inconsistent in your level of arsedness.

    MSM? Leo is that you?

    The reason why normal people ignore these polls is that they attract idiots using their 25 different accounts to vote.

    Thankfully when it comes to actual voting in elections, you only get one vote. Although I get the feeling with these polls that most of the voters aren't actually Irish or even old enough to vote.

    Firstly I'm absolutely delighted that you take my rugby analysis so seriously . I didn't think Jamie Hagan or Jack White were ever going to brought up in a thead about Islam on after hours but they are now. Hell me referencing Ciaran Clark breaking another rugby players arm. Making this thread. You've outdone yourself.

    Secondly your self importance is adorable.

    I know your not a doctor, but thanks for the prognosis . Do you have a future in medicine ?

    So in two posts you have claimed that I am a 'smashed drunk ' , that I've had a stroke. Anymore?

    This has to be the oddest post, even beats the one in the trump thread yesterday. Your certainly winning something. What your winning? , no one knows.

    As i said, I'm absolutely delighted you've taken umbrage with my rugby analysis. If you want to talk about the rugby world from a few years ago, be my guest. Don't think this place for it though.

    They were fairly close the the opinion polls run by research and marketing teams in Ireland.

    You're not that naive are you? Every poll about islam, immigration, or some imaginary invasion by foreigners, attracts the nutters. Everybody notices it.

    How seriously can you take a poll like this that allows multiple votes by one person, of any age, living in any country?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 4,105 ✭✭✭Kivaro


    News just out:
    Irishman jailed for two-and-a-half years after fundraising for the Islamic State.

    Hassan Bal (26) was jailed for two and a half years years at Waterford Circuit Court after he pleaded guilty to two charges of providing and attempting to provide funding for ISIS.
    Judge Eugene O'Kelly imposed a four and a half year sentence on Bal but suspended the final two years. He gave Bal credit for his early plea, his efforts to reform, his remorse and his previous good character.

    One would have to wonder about Irish judges and their gullibility.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 34,424 ✭✭✭✭The_Kew_Tour


    The Poll seems to have upset people. Maybe best to take it down before they cry.
