Islamic centres in Ireland
It is depressing but true that most of the major Islamic centres in Ireland
seem to have a problem with Islamic extremism.
See the survey below.
Decades of problems lie ahead, because we let Islamic extremism into Ireland.
Does anyone care?
It is clear that no one in the Irish government cares. They never have.
The South Circular Road mosque
in Dublin
(the Islamic Foundation of Ireland)
is
said to be
linked to the
Muslim Brotherhood.
- Islamism Map
- Muslim Association Forum
at South Circular Road mosque.
- Muslim Association Forum, Dec 2015,
hosts a visit by the British hate preacher
Abu Usamah at-Thahabi,
who says that
apostates and gays must be executed.
- Sudanese cleric
Abd Al-Hayy Yousuf (various spellings)
visits South Circular Road mosque, Mar 2018.

In 2011
Abd Al-Hayy Yousuf
mourned Osama Bin Laden's death:
"We pledge, before Allah, that the man killed yesterday [Bin Laden] is our brother. We pledge, before Allah, that we love him.
...
By Allah, no Muslim would ever rejoice or gloat over his death.
On the contrary, he would feel that this man waged true jihad for the sake of Allah, and that he was a thorn in the side of the enemies of Allah
...
Osama bin Laden is our brother and our patron. We pray for him and plead for Allah's mercy upon him.
...
He was a man who lived not for himself, but for Islam and the Islamic nation. He lived to make the world of Allah reign supreme."
Jan 2015: After the
Charlie Hebdo massacre,
the French-Tunisian cleric
Béchir Ben Hassen
approves of killing those who insult the Prophet.
From
MEMRI.
See
transcript:
"Even blind people, who lost their sight, avenged [the honor] of their Prophet. Therefore, the punishment for anyone who curses the Prophet Muhammad is to be killed. He should be punished by execution. His killing is sanctioned by a number of Quranic verses, by the Sunna, and by the consensus of the scholars of the past."

Kuwaiti preacher
Othman Al-Khamis says (2015)
that non-Muslims can be attacked and enslaved:
"Those who do not want to worship Allah should be enslaved, forced to pay the jizya poll tax, convert to Islam, or fought against.
.. Don't feel sorry for them. They are infidels who refuse to worship Allah."
In 2019, he says apostates must be killed:
"Apostates are committing a crime, just like adulterers. .. A person who commits apostasy is killed. However, he is left [unharmed] if he repents."
Othman Al-Khamis
invited to speak at South Circular Road mosque, March 2016.
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".

The Cork Dawah Centre
(or Cork Islamic Information Centre),
Shandon Street,
Cork.
- The Cork Dawah Centre was officially opened on 12 Oct 2013:
- The Cork Dawah Centre
was in the news in Sept 2013 when FF councillor
Ken O'Flynn
complained about night-time activity there
as being in breach of planning permission.
-
He was roundly called prejudiced by the left.
e.g. See a
ridiculous article by Victoria White, 19 Sept 2013, who compares the Cork Muslims to her own immigrant ancestors,
and worries about the
Halawa family
(of the Muslim Brotherhood).
She shows no interest in what the Cork Muslims or the Halawa family actually believe.
It seems it is the job of the modern journalist to hide such information.
-
Above, cartoonist
Allan Cavanagh
mocks councillor Ken O'Flynn,
18 Sept 2013.
-
Imagine smearing these poor honest Cork Muslims by linking them to the brutality of sharia law!
Of course they don't support sharia law!
Only a racist would think that, right?
-
Well, read on.
It is hilarious that the left, the media and O'Flynn all missed the real story,
which is what does this centre actually believe in?
Do they believe in sharia law?
The answer, of course, is yes.
Above, the
Cork Dawah Centre
"likes"
Peace TV, the channel of preacher
Zakir Naik,
who says apostates and proselytizers should be executed.
If the Cork Dawah Centre disagrees, and
condemns the sharia punishment of apostates, I'd love to hear it.
Tell me here.
The Cork Dawah Centre
"likes"
Nouman Ali Khan,
who also says apostates should be executed.
The Cork Dawah Centre
"likes"
Hamza Tzortzis,
who has called for an Islamic state.
I could go on, but there is enough evidence there
for a sceptical media (if only one existed in Ireland)
to grill the
Cork Dawah Centre
on its "likes"
and demand it say whether it agreed with sharia extremism or not.
Conclusion:
Allan Cavanagh
and Victoria White do not know what they are talking about.
I told
Allan Cavanagh
about this research that makes his meme look ignorant.
Oddly enough,
he did not thank me
for making him look a fool.
He responded by
blocking me.
Left-wing,
anti-Israel
academic Gavan Titley takes a different approach.
When
presented with evidence
that does not fit his world view,
he simply ignores it.
No reply at all.
Simples!

He was filmed by

He supported
executing apostates and gays.

Warrenstown House (then called "Courtduff"),
Corduff townland, N side of Blanchardstown, Co.Dublin.
Note that "Courtduff" is a different building from "Courtduff House" to the S.
From
1887 to 1913 map.
Now the proposed site of a huge new (apparently fundamentalist) mosque.
Courtduff and Courtduff House, Blanchardstown,

Thom's Directory of Dublin county, 1894 (see p.1550).
How much better to have "Mrs. Peakin" at this address
rather than an Islamic fundamentalist mosque.
Letting Islamic fundamentalism into Ireland is not progress.
Ireland's largest mosque is proposed for Clongriffin, Co.Dublin.
The Irish media shows no interest in what kind of Islam would be preached there.
The signs are this would be a Saudi Wahhabist mosque.
- Muslim Centre of Ireland
(and facebook).
- A spokesman is Abdul Haseeb,
editor of
Irish Muslim Magazine.
- Abdul Haseeb's wife is
convert
Lorraine O'Connor,
founder of the Muslim Sisters of Éire.
(As noted, this is a project of the Dublin Welfare Society.)
- In a
2014 article
she says about the Islamic dress that women are forced to wear around the world:
"It's Western women who are oppressed.
They feel they have to be size zeroes and show off as much skin as possible.
I feel very liberated that I wear the hijab and those of my friends who wear the burka also feel liberated."
- After the barbaric
Hamas massacre of Israelis in Oct 2023,
when terrorists killed
Jewish men, women and children,
Muslim Sisters of Éire posted a
Palestinian flag in apparent sympathy with the butchers.
I asked them
to send the URL where they condemn the Hamas massacre. They responded by blocking me.
- Dialogue Ireland
asks the questions about the Clongriffin mosque that the Irish media won't.
- Colette Colfer
writes about the Clongriffin mosque in the
Irish Times,
29 Aug 2013
(and on her site
here
and here)
without ever addressing these questions.
-
Report in Mar 2015
that Clongriffin mosque will not go ahead.
MCI, 23 July 2013, hosts a speaker from the
Tayyibun Institute in London.
The speaker was born half-Jewish and became Muslim.
Colette Colfer
naively quotes the organiser and makes it sound like this is a nice example of tolerance:
"The guest speaker is the son of a Jewish woman and a Pakistani man."
But
Harry's Place
gives the true picture about any speaker from the Tayyibun Institute.
They
describe the
Tayyibun Institute as
"an inveterate promoter of extremists
...
The Tayyibun Institute promotes a nasty fringe version of Islam
which imperils the multiple targets of its hatred."
The Tayyibun Institute
is on the
Quilliam Foundation list of Islamists
under
"Wahhabist influenced groups and mosques".

MCI, June 2013, hosts a seminar from the
AlMaghrib Institute.
Harry's Place
describes the
Al Maghrib Institute as
"an extreme Wahhabi group".
