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.




South Circular Road mosque, Dublin

The South Circular Road mosque in Dublin (the Islamic Foundation of Ireland) is said to be linked to the Muslim Brotherhood.

  

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."

Nov 2017: The South Circular Road mosque hosts Béchir Ben Hassen as a speaker. See image.



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.




Talbot St mosque, Dublin



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".




Cork Dawah Centre





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!



Extremists Yusuf Chambers and Abdur Raheem Green of iERA speak at the Cork Dawah Centre in 2015.




Limerick mosque



Twitter profile (as at Aug 2017) of Khalid Ghafour, imam of Limerick Mosque, Dooradoyle Road, Limerick.
His profile picture is the Syrian Muslim Brotherhood leader Abd al-Fattah Abu Ghudda.




Dundalk Muslim Community



Dundalk Muslim Community invites extremist Abu Usamah at-Thahabi to speak in 2015.
See hate speech from this extremist.
He was filmed by Undercover Mosque (2007). He supported executing apostates and gays.
From here.




Proposed Blanchardstown mosque

  


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, in 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.


  

Proposed Clongriffin mosque

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.





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".
See full size.



MCI, June 2013, hosts a seminar from the AlMaghrib Institute.
Harry's Place describes the Al Maghrib Institute as "an extreme Wahhabi group".
The Al Maghrib Institute is on the Quilliam Foundation list of Islamists under "Wahhabist influenced groups and mosques".

Abdul Haseeb "likes" extremists Bilal Philips and Wagdy Ghoneim.



Abdul Haseeb, 29 Aug 2013, likes this deeply sinister post from hate preacher Khalid Yasin (see Harry's Place on this extremist).

Banned in Iran: This site is banned in Iran.

Blocked on X by the regressive left and Islamists: I love debate. I love ideas. But the Western left and their friends the Islamic right do not return the favour. Their response to opposing ideas, whether expressed politely or robustly, is often to block. See Who blocks me on X.

I like debate. But I do have rules. See Who I block on X.

Twitter is broken, 2016 to 2022: I am on X (formerly Twitter) at markhumphrys. Twitter was a great place for debate before 2016. You could meet everyone in the world, and argue about ideas. Starting in 2016, Twitter became increasingly broken. It became full of reporting and bans and censorship. In 2019, Twitter even started shadowbanning me for no reason that was ever explained, or could be appealed. By 2022, everyone was looking for a better place to debate.

Twitter is saved, 2022: In 2022 Elon Musk bought Twitter and started to end the censorship. It looks great so far. Twitter (renamed to X) seems to be saved.

Campaigns to silence me: I now have no less than two entries on the Banned List at Academics for Academic Freedom. This is a list of "individuals who were banned from speaking at universities in the UK and Ireland, or faced campaigns to silence them, or sack them for their views." The two campaigns to silence me were the BLM protests in 2021 (unsuccessful) and the Israel debate in 2024 (partially successful, in that it drove the debate off campus).
