    Make excuses and probably apologise to the Middle East.

    China has the right idea on how they are currently dealing with their Muslim problem.

    Jesus. Let's round them up and throw them in a concentration camp?

    The Troubles is going to look like a Birthday party compared to what will happen if there is a civilisational clash in Europe with parts of the Muslim community.

    I really hate the sad state of affairs we are in and am filled with nothing but foreboding for the future.


    The Troubles is going.........and then I stopped reading.


    Last week I had lunch with a Muslim friend. After we ate, he paid for it. When we left, he opened the door for me to leave. An absolute gent. Big family man who does a lot for his local community no matter who they are.



    This is the reality of 99% of interactions people have with the Islamic faith on a daily basis across the EU. Nothing but peace, love and respect.



    But it will never, ever make the news cycle or the papers because racism and hatred sells.



    You should work on your cowardice. Its turning you into a hateful, angry bigot that benefits no-one and no community.



    There is another you, sitting in the Middle East right now, typing the exact same sh+t as you about Christians and Europe. People like you solve nothing. Pipe down.

    How much do you want to bet that there won't be a terrorist attack here in the next few years? Because name your price.

    Muslims are forbidden to gamble. Inshallah!

    What is Bollox is posters using these horrific incidents to promote their anti Muslim propaganda.

    Exactly the same as not every Irish Catholic was in the IRA, not every Muslim is a radical terrorist. It's lazy and xenophobic

    The muslims are doing just fine with their own brand of propaganda. Perhaps we might all be better served if you would focus your attention on that.

    In reality the SCC is a joke,and the state is afraid to try a suspect which will draw international attention to it

    Why would it be a joke?
    There are terrorists and organised criminals convicted every week in the SCC.
    The state are not afraid to try anyone & Lisa Smith is currently before this court

    Just as well nobody is using it to promote anti Muslim views then isn't it.

    We have a problem with Islamists not Muslims.

    Tell me you realize the difference

    No we really don't

    What we need is the left to leave it's middle class bubble.

    That's not going to happen, it's actually getting worse.

    Indeed - but practically every radical terrorist happens to be Muslim.

    I agree with you, they're not ALL involved in terrorism. But a lot of them would turn a blind eye if you were the one getting your head removed on the street. There are plenty of stats out there on UK based muslims thoughts on sharia law, homosexuality, female genital mutilation etc etc etc and it's not pretty.

    The notion of "moderate muslims" is quite out there.

    Looks like a wave, where is next, this is organized and more to follow.

    Hopeful there is no more but Islamic Accounts on Twitter are telling all Mujahddin in Europe to "activate"

    Never heard of Lisa Smith, Hassan Bal or Khalid Kelly to name but a few?

    I've heard of them, probably know.more about them than you, so what's the point?

    I reiterate my plea from the other thread.

    Please ignore the attempts of people to derail the discussion by dragging up the irrelevant and non-comparable IRA.

    It's a tactic.


  • Registered Users Posts: 36,161 ✭✭✭✭BorneTobyWilde


    CONFIRMED at the moment:
    *08:00 pm: several shots fired, beginning at Seitenstettengasse
    *several suspects armed with rifles
    *six different shooting locations
    * one deceaced person, several injured (1 officer included)
    *1 suspect shot and killed by police officers

    I can agree with that, but there is a huge difference between that and the far right getting into power.

    Over 60,000 Muslims in Ireland but I'm sure none of them are celebrating these murders

    Well according to one poster all 60000 are too busy planning their own attacks as we speak.

    You may notice those massive plant pots at the top of both roads during Christmas. Nobody said anything about them but they are there to stop a car or a truck running down the road. These things are huge, have a few lights on then for decorations and stuff but you ain't getting a car through them. A truck maybe but it would need a decent run up and the bang from it would be enough to warn people to get out of the way.

    Gun/Grenade attacks are very different. They find it very hard to get serious weaponry over here. Even the UK have never had gun attacks. It usually machetes and homemade explosives. Mainland Europe have land borders, so not as hard.

    There are massive plant pot at the top and bottom of Grafton street, they were installed right after the Nice truck attacks and are there permanently. I also suspect that attack is why Suffolk street was never reopened after the Luas works were finished.

    Family fall outs are the worst.

    The similarities drive the situation to an awful place.

    What's your reason for wanting more then?
    I dont know what point you're trying to make.

    Is there even the barest will to do that?

    There will be some push back from the progressives for the person who does.




    I think we might be talking about different things. I'm not talking about anything more radical than making sure that systems are in place to prevent things by monitoring and catching dodgy fuckers and enforcing laws.

    Not sure how you can say it’s not comparable seen as you brought it up

    Marine le Pen and her ilk will probably thrive quite soon.

    Don't think they have any answers, this is all a bit beyond their ability even if they do [at least] see there is a problem.
    The far right populists seem to be corrupt, incompetent and venal by the standards of normal Western politicians - see Trump & cronies record or the Brexiter govt. in the UK. Everywhere they are in power they are fairly useless, scratch that dangerously useless.
    Yes they were edit: generally right about immigration (too much, not enough care being taken with who is coming in), & Islam in particular, but it is exactly like a stopped clock that is right twice a day. They were primed to be correct because their nature will make them suspicious of all immigrants and alert to threats to a country from "foreigners" or "fifth columns" etc.

    Fianna Fail - a party struggling for identity should run under a tough borders policy. I'm telling you right now it would be the saving of them as a party of relevance. At the moment they are Fine Gael light. Fine Gael is an open-borders party. Letting them come in from everywhere. I want a pro-European but hard external border of the union policy. It might actually bring Britain back into the EU at some stage. Shore up the Mediterranean.

    Other EU countries can pick and choose who comes in. We should be able to aswell.

    The "moderate Muslims" are simply ignoring certain elements of Islam. Muslims are actually the biggest victims of Islam many of them fear for their lives if they try to leave. I firmly believe that ex Muslims are some of the bravest people in the world.

    The Muslim and traveller threads all end up this way, people get to say what they like and tar them all with the same brush
