As I say on the
Islam in the West
page,
most Muslim immigrants come to the West precisely because they support its freedoms
and want to escape failed states ruled by clerics and Islamic dictators.
We have a duty to let these freedom-loving Muslims in.
Western Muslims are the most liberal, tolerant, pro-democracy Muslims in the world.
All the dissidents are here
- the religious dissidents,
the political dissidents,
the feminist dissidents, and
the gay dissidents.
All the dissident works
- such as criticism of Islam and
Islamism
- are published in the West.
This is all much to be celebrated.
However, there is a substantial minority
(10-20 percent)
of immigrants
who threaten our western freedoms.
They are
Islamists
- essentially religious fascists who want to impose their religious beliefs
on the rest of us.
What to do about these aggressors is one of the questions of our time.
We have already seen this minority attack
England,
Spain,
France,
Holland,
Sweden
and almost every
European country.
They have
plotted against Ireland.
It is probably only a matter of time before they
successfully attack Ireland, too.
As in the UK,
there is a lack of moderate Muslims in Ireland
brave enough to stand up to the Islamists.
As in the UK,
most of the running is being made by infidels.
The Irish state treats the Muslim Brotherhood as representing Muslims in Ireland:
[US diplomatic cable, 2006] says:
"Both Satardien
and Qadri have told
emboffs that
getting out a positive message on integration is difficult
because the conservative Muslims, or as Satardien refers to
the leaders at ICCI, the Wahhabis and Muslim Brotherhood,
control Islam in Ireland. He alleges that ICCI has the ear
of the GOI and blocks efforts to initiate open dialogue
within the religious community."
Dreaming of an Islamist Ireland, Ruth Dudley Edwards, May 2010:
"Currently, the Department of Foreign Affairs insists that official translations from Arabic into English be done at Clonskeagh mosque — an interesting venue for persecuted Christian asylum-seekers from, say, Egypt."
It is reasonable to oppose the immigration of people who threaten western freedom,
such as Islamists who support sharia.
But the case of
Rotimi Adebari,
Ireland's first black mayor,
shows how wrong it is to simply oppose all immigration.
A Nigerian who converted from Islam to Christianity, he fled Nigeria
afraid of the death threats that are mandated in Islam
for leaving the religion.
Ireland should be proud that it gave this man sanctuary.
We should be proud that here you can follow any religion you like.
He says:
"The vast majority of Muslims oppose and condemn al-Qaeda and terrorism in all forms."
But he presents no evidence
for this.
We will skip over his claims that there is a big difference between Al Qaeda and
the Prophet Muhammad.
I don't see it myself, but I suppose we want Muslims to say this.
He says:
"Muslims .. feel that a very heavy price has been paid [for 9/11]. Far more innocent people have been killed and injured in the massive war on terrorism ... than were killed and injured on September 11th, 2001."
Um, yes, but they were killed by Muslims.
He makes it sound as if they were killed by the Americans or something.
Worst of all, he claims that US foreign policy, rather than Islamism,
is the root cause of Islamic terror.
He claims that Islamic terror is based on real "grievances"
rather than on religion:
"the roots of extremism and radicalisation have not been addressed. If the United States wants to stop extremism then it should change its foreign policy towards the Muslim world
...
The US’s unconditional support for Israel is a major obstacle to a better relationship with the Muslim world.
...
As long as the US continues to ignore the real grievances of Muslims, and refuses to abandon its deceptive policies in the Middle East and other parts of the Muslim world, the restoration of real and lasting peace will remain only a dream."
So he is saying:
"We oppose Al Qaeda, but do what they say."
Umar Al-Qadri of the Blanchardstown mosque attacks Israel
at a protest in Dublin in Jan 2009.
He has a fanatical hatred of Israel.
He calls Hamas "my brothers and sisters".
He says "Hamas loves peace."
But of course reluctantly has to be fanatically violent.
He claims Israel rapes Muslim women in front of Muslim men:
"If you kill our children,
and take our women in front of us,
in front of our eyes,
how can we remain peaceful people?"
The crowd chants Islamic war cries during his fanatic speech.
An uncovered infidel woman stands by on stage with these religious maniacs
as they chant their war cries.
This is possibly
Freda Hughes.
Umar Al-Qadri's mosque was inaugurated by Minister for Justice
Brian Lenihan
in January 2008.
Did Brian Lenihan ask a single question about Islamic extremism at this mosque?
Did it ever cross his mind?
A nasty anti-Israel, anti-gay,
anti-Copt,
pro-sharia,
pro-Wahhabi, pro-Saudi site.
Like
MPAC,
EireMuslim is a tour of everything that is wrong with Islam.
Is this in fact Liam Egan back again?
EireMuslim, 9 Dec 2011, openly supports religious oppression:
"nationals from every country that has banned hijab should be forced to wear hijab in Muslim lands,
men should be compelled to grow beards and all western dress should be prohibited. Non-Muslims should be forbidden from worshipping in their usual manner, there should also be a halt on the construction of all churches, etc."
EireMuslim, 13 Dec 2011, says witches are real and must be killed!
He also says apostates must be killed!
"A practitioner of witchcraft may do something that makes him an apostate, so he commits kufr and should be executed for his apostasy.
...
There should be no hesitation in executing the practitioner of witchcraft".
EireMuslim, 24 Dec 2011, denies the Armenian Genocide.
"the so-called Armenian ‘genocide’
...
The Turks fought against a Christian Armenian insurgency that sided with Russian invaders."
EireMuslim, 3 Feb 2012, supports jail for anyone who mocks Islamic customs.
He also says they will burn in "hell", which is an imaginary place in his head.
EireMuslim, 3 Feb 2012, not only supports expelling the Christian missionaries, he declares that proselytising is worse than terrorism!"What’s worse than terrorism, or the encouragement of terrorism or indeed the praise of terrorism? It is the preaching, dissemination and distribution of materials that are detrimental to the eternal well-being of an individual".
Of course it's not clear that EireMuslim opposes terrorism in the slightest.
If he ever condemns a single Islamic terrorist act, tell me here.
EireMuslim, bizarrely, can sometimes talk sense:
EireMuslim, 6 Nov 2011,
in response to a ban on halal animal cruelty in Holland, urges western Muslims to leave the West:
"When we can no longer worship openly, we have been commanded to emigrate (hijrah)
- for truly the land is vast and the way of truth is sure. Leave the lands of unbelief, rob them of the manpower, wealth and intellect they have readily abused, build the Muslim lands, build the Ummah".
Well, western Islamists should leave.
That would be great!
I wonder will EireMuslim follow this advice?
EireMuslim talks sense! They oppose a nuclear Shia Iran, 14 Nov 2011.
"allowing the Rawaafida (extreme Shia found in Iran) to develop nuclear weapons is potentially disastrous
... Their treachery, machinations and plotting are well known
... allowing a sect with a history of despicable and treacherous actions toward Sunni Muslims to become a nuclear power would not only lead to a new arms race but could lead the region into a new war."
Right on, brother! IAF bombs away!
He complains about my praise for the brave men who killed Bin Laden.
("[He] celebrates the deaths of Muslims".)
Does EireMuslim support Bin Laden?
If so, have the guts to say so.
"Humphrys doesn’t want Muslims to practice their religion, he doesn’t want them adhering to its precepts".
No quote is presented to show I oppose religious freedom.
I think opposing honour killings and stonings is what he is getting at.
This is opposing religious freedom, apparently.
"he certainly doesn’t want any talk of Muslim laws for Muslims".
No indeed.
Religion should be voluntary.
It has no place in the law.
We sorted all this out centuries ago in the Enlightenment.
Please try to catch up.
"For him, all must submit to the licentious, liberal and so-called democratic principles that Ireland has embraced".
Nonsense. No one is imposing anything on you.
You can live as conservative a life as you desire.
No one will stop you.
"Neither EireMuslim nor any mosque in the country will deny him his freedom, to him his religion, to us – ours."
Rubbish. You support sharia.
Therefore you support imposing your religious beliefs on me and others by law.
It is interesting that I challenged him here to condemn a single Islamic terrorist act.
He read this, and declined to respond.
EireMuslim openly
supports killing gays,
10 Jan 2012.
On
20 Dec 2011, in response to a gay Malaysian man being threatened, he describes him as in
"an Islamically unlawful and punishable relationship".
He never had the openness
to sign his name to his writings.
It was all anonymous.
But I can now reveal that the EireMuslim site was being run from
IP address
94.98.148.251
which belongs to
Saudinet
in Saudi Arabia.
So the man who wanted sharia is living in Saudi Arabia, not Ireland.
We're all happy!
He's happy there.
And we're happy that he is over there.
Let me quote him again:
"When we can no longer worship openly, we have been commanded to emigrate (hijrah)
- for truly the land is vast and the way of truth is sure. Leave the lands of unbelief, rob them of the manpower, wealth and intellect they have readily abused, build the Muslim lands, build the Ummah".
Sound advice!
All Islamists should leave the decadent, disgusting, vulgar West - where their children
and grand-children will become atheists, drinkers
and fornicators.
They should all leave and go somewhere more Islamic.
EireMuslim and I agree!
Omar al-Haddouchi, the ideological leader of the Jihadist movement in Morocco, Apr 2012,
says all Muslims should leave France for North Africa.
"I say unto you, then, that you must leave.
You must leave the land of the polytheists.
The Prophet (PBUH) has said: “Do not gaze into their fire.”
He also said, “None of us reside with the polytheists.”
...
Emigrate from a country in which the shari’a cannot be applied.
Emigrate from a country which bans the hijab, or the call to prayer."
Sound advice!
This imam has been
applauded
throughout the counterjihad.
Liberal Muslims and ex-Muslims are fine, but
Islamist Muslims
should leave, for the sake of their souls.
That would be great.
Omar al-Haddouchi and I agree!
The Clonskeagh mosque,
MPAC and EireMuslim
give one a bad feeling about Islam in Ireland.
So do other groups.
Pakistani doctor
Qasim Afridi
is another anti-American, anti-British, Muslim immigrant.
Qasim Afridi leads a group letter, April 25, 2008, defending shariah.
They claim (of course) that "true shariah" has not yet been implemented.
Like "true communism".
They claim (based on no evidence) that the US and UK
have murdered half a million Iraqis.
They say:
"We have no hesitation to condemn terrorism in the name of Islam."
But oddly, condemnation of Palestinian terror against Israel does not follow.
Neither does condemnation of the Taliban or the Iraqi resistance.
In fact, they do not name any specific Islamic terror that they condemn.
If Qasim Afridi condemns the above groups
somewhere, please tell me here.
Qasim Afridi
urges Muslims not to burn flags at a demo,
"Unless someone wants to burn the Zionist flag since we do not recognize the Zionist state".
Qasim Afridi has set up some whining
Muslim immigrant group
called
"Glór Moslamach",
which he says
is opposed to integration,
whatever that means. (It doesn't sound good.)
He again
claims
Britain and America are killing innocent Muslims.
Um, then how come the people of Iraq and Afghanistan vote
for parties that cooperate
with the militaries of
Britain and America? What do they know that you don't know?
Someone from
"Glór Moslamach"
(apparently
not Qasim Afridi)
appears as commenter
"Rooh"
on MPAC.
I asked "Rooh", May 2010, if "Glór Moslamach" would condemn Palestinian terror against Israel, Al Qaeda terror, the Taliban,
the Iraqi resistance, or any other specific
terrorism in the name of Islam.
I predicted he would refuse to give an answer.
He did refuse to give an answer.
This makes their condemnation of "terrorism in the name of Islam" rather unconvincing, to say the least.
An example of the level of "argument" by "Rooh":
A perfectly reasonable guy called D. Moloney says drone attacks
probably kill mostly terrorists not civilians.
"Rooh" responds by screaming that:
"people like Mr Baloney would consider it appropriate to attack and stab any Muslim in Ireland thinking that they are terrorists."
"Rooh" peddles conspiracy theories.
Unable to believe that Muslims are killing Muslims in Iraq, Afghanistan and Pakistan,
he believes the suicide bombings must be caused by infidels:
"unless of course they send in a private company like black water and bomb Ireland
and blame it on Muslims, like they have done in Iraq and Pakistan".
OK it may be beneath us to be engaging with a logic-free zone like "Rooh".
But on the bigger issue, if "Glór Moslamach" ever does condemn any specific Islamic terror,
please tell me here.
Kotwal praises the Taliban.
Jump to here
in the Prime Time 2006 program.
"The Taliban did a good job.
But of course they had some weaknesses.
They needed support. They needed time.
And it was very sad that they did not get that support.
But still it was a model for the rest of the world."
He denies Bin Laden carried out 9/11.
"Osama Bin Laden, look at him.
His appearance is like prophet Muhammad.
You can see it in his face.
He's a good, God-fearing man."
This nutcase even got to
"teach"
at a Catholic school.
Why is this fanatic allowed stay in Ireland?
Latif Yahia
(Iraqi refugee in Ireland).
He is very anti-American.
He blames America, not the Iraqi resistance, for the killings in Iraq.
Irish convert
Colm Gillis, in a letter of 7 Jan 2011, shows that converts to the Islamic religion also often convert to
a distorted view of history and politics.
Gillis claims that the huge number of
Islamic tyrannies are
"by and large creations of Anglo-French policies after World War One".
Nothing to do with Islam, of course.
They would all be liberal parliamentary democracies or something if it weren't for the West.
He claims that the 1,400 years of
Islamic terror and violence is
"not inspired by Islamic teachings but is a product of perceived injustice."
Nothing to do with Islam.
All religions have carried out
over 10,000 terror attacks
in the last decade.
He claims that in the West,
we only think we are free to vote for who we want,
and believe what we want.
"Democracy is not the great Nirvana portrayed by Mr Myers. Consent is manufactured",
he says, using the pathetic excuse of that nut
Chomsky
for how no one votes for him.
Oh yes, we are just idiots whose consent is "manufactured".
We are not strong free men like Gillis and Chomsky.
He claims that Islam
"liberated"
the people of North Africa and the Middle East
when it conquered them by the sword and forced them to accept Islam
or live as second-class dhimmis (which they still are today).
Ian O'Doherty does a TV show,
"Now It's Personal", 15 Nov 2011, meeting Ireland's Muslim community,
and has some interesting encounters.
Here,
Adnan Hameed
of the
Talbot St mosque
comes across as pleasant, but then
declares that people who blaspheme against his religion should be jailed,
or even attacked violently. "If you drew a cartoon of the prophet Muhammad I'd probably knock you out".
About the cartoonist living under death threat:
"They should have put that guy away, not given him bloody 24 hour security.
They should have put him away in prison".
Shaheed Satardien
says Ireland should control the immigration of extremists:
"Neither should the [Irish] government allow in any further senior clerics from outside Ireland,
from places like Egypt or Sudan.
Many of these recent arrivals are preaching a message that is divisive
and ultimately very dangerous to Ireland and its citizens."
Open question to Shaheed Satardien:
Can you state that everyone in the world
should have the right to draw cartoons of Muhammed,
Jesus or any other figure.
Can you state that all Muslims in the world should have the right to freely convert
to any other religion, or to atheism,
without fear.
Let me know the answer here.
Letter, 2 Feb 2007:
"The Supreme Muslim Council of Ireland would like to say that it believes that the rule of civil law,
the democratic system of representation in government,
the protection of the rights of women and minorities
and the freedom of thought and belief - under all of which we live here in Ireland -
are not only compatible with Islamic values but are closer to the ethos and spirit of tolerance,
pluralism and peace in Islam and better serve the Irish Muslim community
than the undemocratic regimes and the draconian judicial systems
found in some predominately Muslim countries today."
Great stuff, but still not enough.
Can the Supreme Muslim Council of Ireland answer my questions above?
Shaheed Satardien is attacked by politically-correct left-wingers and conservative Muslim groups:
Satardien
claimed
that extremist Islamist views are widespread among young Muslims in Ireland.
Racism group claims Irish media is fuelling Islamophobia, August 27, 2006:
The ultra PC
"National Consultative Committee on Racism and Interculturalism"
(NCCRI, which taxpayers are forced to fund)
complains about the coverage given to Satardien.
The NCCRI says:
"One paper widely quoted the leader of the Muslim Supreme Council of Ireland.
This entity is almost non-existent and has a handful of members.
It is completely unrepresentative, as were the unfounded opinions of its leader.
Just because something makes a good soundbite or is shocking,
does not mean it is correct or should be printed."
I agree with
John Fay
that those who want to deny any possible Islamism problem
- like the NCCRI
and conservative Muslim groups like the ICCI -
are liable to increase "Islamophobia",
while Muslims who challenge Islamism like Satardien
are liable to reduce it.
The ICCI says:
"We have 1,000 people coming to the mosque here at each of the weekend prayer meetings,
and many are horrified that extreme and complete untrue statements are being made,
and allowed to go almost unchallenged."
What are they talking about?
The appalling statements of their fascist associate
Yusuf Al-Qaradawi?
No. They are talking about claims that Islamist ideas are spreading among young Irish Muslims.
The ICCI's reaction makes one afraid that these claims must be true.
Then the ICCI says:
"We have had to deal with enough anti-Islam criticism through the years,
but when it comes from one of your supposed own, it is even more difficult to deal with."
Frankly, that sounds like a threat to any Muslim who dares to speak against Islamism.
Not a physical threat, but certainly a threat of
ostracism in the Muslim community.
If the ICCI welcomes Muslims who attack Islamism,
there is no sign of it here.
Describing Satardien as
"one of your supposed own" is a particularly nasty, closed-ranks, tribal
turn of phrase.
As I say, groups like the ICCI merely spread fear of Islam
with reactions like this.
Ali Al Saleh, quoted on 14 Mar 2010:
"In Pakistan and Saudi Arabia, the niqab and the burqa is the culture.
But in Ireland we know the niqab means extremism and radicalism. I have lived in Ireland for more than 25 years and we didn't have the niqab before. This is worrying, as it is a sign we are not successful in defeating extremism.
Extremism is the last stage before being recruited by terrorists. Not all extremists are terrorists, but all terrorists are extremists."
He is a rare Muslim voice in Ireland who does not hate the Americans for liberating Iraq:
"Tomorrow will be the third anniversary of the invasion of Iraq. In many countries today - including Ireland - people opposed to that war will be demonstrating against the invasion which liberated my people ...
But I have to ask these demonstrators some questions. Do you not want my people to enjoy democracy? Do you not want us to breathe the same air of freedom that you breathe? ...
Three years ago, about 100,000 well-intentioned but badly-informed people
in Dublin protested against our liberation from one of the world's most oppressive dictatorships".
On the "anti-war" lies that
blame Bush and Blair for the jihad killings:
"Critics of the war claim that the liberation of Iraq has caused the deaths of tens of thousands of innocent Iraqis. But this is absolutely false. Far more people are killed by terrorist attacks than were killed in the initial invasion
...
In my own family, these losses are especially personal. My wife lost three brothers in one terrorist attack last year. Multinational forces did not kill them; instead, terrorists with no place in a free and democratic Iraq killed them."
And to finally blow the brains of any Irish lefties:
"As Iraqis living in Ireland ... We thank the Dáil for its resolution in March 2003 endorsing the use of Shannon airport by multinational forces".
What does the anti-American
John Neill, Archbishop of Dublin
think of that?
Allegations
(also here)
that some of them were connected to the Taliban.
If it is true that these people are connected to the Taliban,
then they should be deported, even if their lives are in danger.
We should not care about the lives and safety of fascists.
We should not let them in,
because they will only attack us.
People who do not believe in Western values should not be let in to the West,
even if they are being persecuted.
The Irish Daily Mail
points out
the irony of them desecrating a Christian church in Ireland rather than a mosque:
"Here was a group of Muslim zealots, some of whom were allied in Afghanistan
to political groups who treat Christianity with murderous contempt."
OK, so maybe it is false that they are Muslim zealots.
But why did they desecrate a church rather than a mosque?
RTE "Prime Time", 18 December 2006,
investigates Islamist extremism and terror groups in Ireland.
See summary.
Conference promoting Hamas and other violent Islamists, held in Dublin, Apr 2009.
See
Irish Times report.
Speakers included
Sheikh Yousef al Baz, a Muslim cleric from the West Bank,
who said: "resistance is the only way, and not negotiation
...
We supported the jihad and we will do so until Allah grants us victory".
"Pro-Hamas paraphernalia, including DVDs featuring armed Hamas fighters
and Sheikh Yassin
.. were on sale at the event.".
Speakers also included the pro-terror
Azzam Tamimi:
"Mr Tamimi drew applause when he praised insurgents in Iraq and the Taliban in Afghanistan. He said he disagreed with the Taliban's views on certain matters, but added: "With regard to their attitudes to liberation I say 'Long live the Taliban'."

Irishman wants to kill for Islam, November 15, 2009.
Kelly supports attacks on Ireland:
"Ireland has a US embassy so it is open to attack".
HolyWars
(see site)
(2010),
sympathetic documentary
about Irish Islamist Khalid Kelly
by far leftie
Stephen Marshall.
Soaked with trendy
leftie moral equivalence,
it actually compares a peaceful Christian preacher to a violent Islamist jihadi.
Interview with Marshall, June 2010:
"Q: I had actually been planning to ask you if you'd gotten flack from the Christian community for comparing a Christian missionary to a Taliban sympathizer.
A: No, they didn't have a problem with that. They didn't even see our point that they're similar."
Yeah, apart from the killing and stuff.
"Q: Did you see a similarity in Aaron's idea that America is God's country and Khalid's belief in a future Muslim caliphate?
A: Totally. You have these two competing visions of world orders based on religious values that were given by gods centuries ago, which are absolutely frightening.
Everybody has their own idea of a New World Order.
Even liberals in their view of a great free market system, that's a caliphate, too."
How can you begin to reply to such stupidity?
Marshall believes, of course, that poor countries are poor not because of the
lack of economic freedom.
No, it's apparently our fault.
These countries have
"economic realities that are the end game of colonialism".
He believes that opposition to the great Obama must be racist.
And so on.
He plans to set up a fascist group called
"Islam for Ireland"
to threaten Irish freedom.
His new name is "Abu Osama".
He is an Irish convert to Islam,
and former male nurse
in Saudi Arabia.
He spoke at the protest outside the Belgian embassy in Dublin
in May 2010,
where he said that
he dreamt of seeing "the black flag of Islam" over Dáil Éireann.
Metro Eireann reported in
May 2010
on an extremist called "Abu Usuma".
He is an Irish convert to Islam,
and former male nurse
in Saudi Arabia.
He spoke at the protest outside the Belgian embassy in Dublin
in May 2010,
where he
openly supported the killing of Swedish cartoonist Lars Vilks.
He said:
"In Islamic jurisprudence, if anyone is capable they have an obligation to kill this man.
There were people arrested in Ireland
for [allegedly] conspiring to kill this man; they were arrested for conspiring to fulfil their duty in Islam."
The Irish state is working to protect us from those who
threaten our freedom:
"Kelly complains he has been visited on several occasions by the security services since his return."
The liberal, pro-Ireland Muslim
Mohammed Al Kabour writes a letter to the Irish Times, 4 Aug 2010, in response to the news about Kelly:
"As an Irish Muslim I'll say this loud and clear, I love Ireland and its people and we Irish Muslims will be the first to condemn Khalid Kelly .. and be there to stop him at each step of the way.
...
We Muslims in Ireland who respect and cherish Ireland's hard fought freedoms, democracy and security will not let this twisted man endanger this country."
He gave an interview to the Irish edition of the
Sunday Mirror, Sun 8 May 2011,
in which he seemed to threaten US President Obama (due to visit Ireland on 23 May 2011):
"President Obama will be murdered by a suicide bomber on his historic trip to
Ireland, terror suspect Khalid Kelly has warned.
...
He warned that terror squads are on standby, awaiting their orders from al-Qaeda
high control
...
He said: "We always take our guidance from al-Qaeda and are just waiting for a
message to come over the internet."
...
[He] vowed to celebrate
Obama's murder.
He said:
"Personally I would feel happy if Obama was killed. How could I not
feel happy when a big enemy of Islam is gone?"
...
Khalid even says he would assassinate the US leader himself - but fears he is
too well known to gardai.
He explained: "If he was coming next year, and I went to Afghanistan and I came
from there under a false name with no beard like
Muhammad Sadiq Khan
then I could do something. But I'm open here in Dublin.""
As a result of these statements he was arrested on Thur 12 May.
He complains about his arrest at fellow fascist Anjem Choudary's site, 13 May 2011.
"Loud screaming and bad language ensued which is the way of the Irish kuffar taghut regime".
Hopefully he will go back to the third world soon
and leave us to enjoy our
taghut regime in peace.
Some poor guy finds himself on an airplane with Khalid Kelly.
From HolyWars.
The majority (59 percent) of Irish Muslims disagree that
"people in Ireland should be free to say whatever they want,
even if it offends other people's religious beliefs".
Though 35 percent agree.
37 percent of Irish Muslims would like Ireland to be governed as an Islamic state.
Though 50 percent said they would not.
The majority (57 percent) of young Irish Muslims (under 26)
believe Ireland should become an Islamic State.
36 percent of Irish Muslims said they "respect" Mahmoud Ahmadinejad.
42 percent of Irish people agree that:
"Islamic fundamentalism is a serious threat for our country".
46 percent of Irish people agree that:
"We must stop countries like Iran from acquiring nuclear weapons,
even if that means taking military action".
Survey of Irish people, Irish Times, 16 Sept 2010,
shows Irish people may be to the right of me on Islam:
49 percent of Irish say wearing the burka in public should be banned.
36 percent say it should not.
I probably think it should not be banned.
But I do think wearing it (or the niqab)
should be grounds for denying immigrants entry
in the first place.
Irish Attitudes Toward Israel.
Rory Miller, 1 October 2006, speculates on the future of Islam in Ireland:
"The local Muslim community is small approaching twenty thousand. ...
The local Muslims are far less extreme than many in Britain, France, or Germany.
When the Mohammed cartoons appeared in Denmark, a few hundred Muslims marched through the streets of Dublin. Their placards were relatively mild by Muslim standards, carrying texts such as: 'You must respect the Prophet.' I have no doubt that in a few years they will carry placards saying, like elsewhere, that people should be killed, or that Europe is dead."
Omar al-Haddouchi, the ideological leader of the Jihadist movement in Morocco, Apr 2012,
says all Muslims should leave France for North Africa.
"I say unto you, then, that you must leave.
You must leave the land of the polytheists.
The Prophet (PBUH) has said: “Do not gaze into their fire.”
He also said, “None of us reside with the polytheists.”
...
Emigrate from a country in which the shari’a cannot be applied.
Emigrate from a country which bans the hijab, or the call to prayer."
Since 1995.
