The definition of "radical Islam" is unfortunately pretty much mainstream Islam.
Mainstream Islam often or usually includes belief in:
Sharia law of some sort. Maybe "later", in some ideal future state.
Punishment of unbelief of some sort.
Hostility to freedom of speech. Intolerance of criticism of Islam and Muhammad.
Hatred of Israel.
Tolerance or actual support for violent Islamic jihad.
Freedom of religion is important.
But letting Islam grow in Ireland inevitably means letting radical Islam grow in Ireland,
with all the problems that leads to down the road.
Qasim Afridi 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 voted
for parties that cooperated
with the militaries of
Britain and America? What do they know that you don't know?
Qasim Afridi
leads a group letter, April 25, 2008, defending shariah law.
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.
The extremism on display in the
Innocence of Muslims
protests
in Ireland in 2012
was very sinister.
This is a clear warning of the
future that awaits us.

A protest against Islamic terror videos
on YouTube?
No, of course not.
A protest against the film
Innocence of Muslims.
This nutcase
declares that the maker of the film
"terrorised the world"
by criticising Muhammad.
He says the film maker
"should be arrested".
He never condemns the
Islamic violence
in response to the film.
He issues the sinister declaration that:
"We will struggle till the last drop of our blood."

Islamic extremists in Ireland are allied with
the pro-jihad Irish left,
such as the
Irish "Anti-War" Movement.
They
have hosted pro-jihad conferences
and pro-jihad demos
in Ireland.
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'."
Irish Islamism-lover
"Richard Boyd Barrett of the Irish Anti-War Movement told attendees that it was "entirely legitimate" to argue that "Israel has no right to exist"".

Kotwal praises the Taliban
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 extremist even got to
"teach"
at a Catholic school
in Dublin.
Why is this fanatic allowed stay in Ireland?
A massive growth in hatred for Israel worldwide, especially in Ireland.
As a result of its demented hatred of Israel,
the Irish government started letting in Islamic extremists from Gaza,
such as the following:
Zak Hania
was let into Ireland in May 2024.
He is a cousin of Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh
(assassinated by Israel in July 2024). The Irish media
said in June 2024 that Zak Hania just "lost 10 members of his family" in an airstrike.
But they did not even do basic research
to find out this was Ismail Haniyeh's family.
See
"Sister of Hamas chief Haniyeh, 9 others said killed in IDF strike in Gaza", Times of Israel, 25 June 2024.
Zak Hania was invited to speak at DCU in Oct 2024,
where he declared he was "proud" of his cousin Ismail Haniyeh.
Why was this man let into Ireland?
Gaza "journalist" Abubaker Abed
was let into Ireland in April 2025.
David Collier
profiles him in July 2024,
and shows he is a supporter of terrorism.
His whole family supports Hamas.
He celebrates Iranian rocket strikes on Israel, 13 June 2025.
Why was this man let into Ireland?
Asad Abu Sharkh.
He was involved in the Hamas "March of Return" Gaza fence riots of 2018-19.
In 2024, he gave a speech in Dublin praising Yahya Sinwar, leader of Hamas.
Why was this man let into Ireland?
Asad Abu Sharkh
gives a speech in Dublin praising Yahya Sinwar, leader of Hamas,
after Israel killed him, Oct 2024.
He openly mourns Yahya Sinwar ("Abu Ibrahim").
He pays tribute to
"the Palestinian hero Executive Commander Abi Ibrahim".
