Exposing the role that Islamic jihad theology and ideology play in the modern global conflicts

Ireland: Two Muslims arrested over suspected links to the Islamic State

Jul 19, 2015 10:37 am By Robert Spencer

gardai“Two men, one Irish and one Eastern European…” — as if their nationalities were the salient point here, and the reason why they were arrested. In reality, they almost certainly consider their Irish and Eastern European nationality or ethnicity to be completely irrelevant. The reason why they were arrested was because they were involved with the Islamic State, and they were involved with the Islamic State because they are Muslim, as well as because they believe that one’s loyalty to Islam, and to the caliphate, transcends all national and ethnic loyalties.

“One man, the first to be arrested, at a house in the Midlands last month, is well known to gardai and has a history of promoting extremist interpretations of the Koran and Islam. It is understood gardai recovered several thousand euro, a packed travel bag and a passport in the search of the man’s home. They also seized a computer. The man was released after questioning.” Good. No doubt he has now, as a result of this arrest, given up jihad forever and will forthwith get a job as a bartender.

“Two men arrested by gardai over suspected Isil terror links,” by Jim Cusack, Independent.ie, July 17, 2015:

Two men, one Irish and one Eastern European, have been arrested by gardai investigating possible links with the Islamic terror group Isil.

The arrests in the past month in Dublin and the Midlands were prompted by information gardai are believed to have gathered concerning efforts by both men to travel to Syria.

Both deny they were intent on engaging in terrorism.

They were arrested under the provisions of the 2005 Criminal Justice (Terrorist Offences) Act which allows the State to prosecute persons engaged in acts of terrorism outside the State.

No official comment is being made by the gardai about the arrests. One man, the first to be arrested, at a house in the Midlands last month, is well known to gardai and has a history of promoting extremist interpretations of the Koran and Islam.

It is understood gardai recovered several thousand euro, a packed travel bag and a passport in the search of the man’s home. They also seized a computer. The man was released after questioning….

    Why was he released ? And if this pig murders someone, the garda will stand aside, and say they didn’t have enough evidence to hold him.

    Our problem isn’t really the mohammedans; these pigs just do what the koran and mohammed tell them to do. Our problem is the police, our governments, and all who are complicit in treating murderous mohammedans with kid gloves.

      You have nailed the problem 100%. WE ARE THE PROBLEM. Muslims are just doing what muslims are brainwashed to do almost from birth and as long as mental midgets like David Cameron continue to kiss muslim arses, muslims will continue to do what they do best—–murder infidels like us at every opportunity.

          OMMANDMENTS TO KILL NON-MUSLIMS:

          “So when the sacred months have passed away, then slay the idolaters wherever you find them, and take them captive and besiege them and lie in wait for them in every ambush, then if they repent and keep up prayer and pay the poor-rate, leave their way free to them.” -Koran 9.5

          “And kill them wherever you find them, and turn them out from where they have turned you out.”-Koran 2:191

          “Fighting is prescribed for you, and ye dislike it. But it is possible that ye dislike a thing which is good for you, and that ye love a thing which is bad for you.” -Koran 2.216

          And, yes, killing is a sacrament in Islam that guarantees admission to paradise.

    What, please, Jim Cusack, is the non-extremist interpretation of Koran 9:5
    “Kill the unbelievers wherever you find them”?
    That is right: there is not one.
    “Islam was never for a day a religion of peace. Islam is a religion of war”, says Abu Bakr al Baghdadi, Caliph of Islamic State, with PhD in Islamic Studies.
    Time to set aside the “extremism” spin. The cause is ordinary basic Islam.
    What do muslim spokesmen say?

      “extremist interpretations of the Koran and Islam”

      Yes, indeed, Jim Cusack, please do tell us what in hell you think that means and how it differs from a non-extremist interpretation.

      Which of the Qur’an’s unabrogatted passages are reserved for “moderate” Muslims alone and which are reserved for their extremist brethren?

      And unless Cusack is the editor, then at least one other moron allowed that statement to remain.

    Anti-Semitic Ireland deserves everything they get. They have totally submitted to islam, supporting the BDS movement, palestinians, and are in the process of having a mega mosquestrosity built in Dublin, courtesy of Qatar. They deserve to be attacked by terrorists.

      Ireland has NOT ‘totally submitted’.

      There *are* friends of Israel in Ireland and they are putting up a fight as best they can.

      See here, for example, to meet some of them:

      http://www.icfi.ie

      And here’s another, with no religious motivation (and handily listing some of the other Friends)

      http://markhumphrys.com/pro.israel.ireland.html

      And another, one Rob Harris

      http://eirael.blogspot.com.au

      Pray that they will persevere, and prevail.

      Pray that the example set by the great Irishman Conor Cruise O’Brien, who was a friend of Israel, and *also* very clear-sighted about Jihad, may prevail.

    I’m Irish and this was NOT reported on the national news RTE. Media in Ireland is very liberal and pro Islam and anti Catholic.

    I hope the Irish constabulary starts instructing their people in the jihad doctrine so they can identify it when they see it.

    As in Irish person . I am saddened by the Irish Muslims heading off to murder men, women an children . But one was an Eastern European and a convert to Islam probable. But with the rising number of Muslim in Ireland . Its only inevitable that so many are heading off to murder. But it’s a pity that no one in the Irish media or government is bring this subject up. Where ever there is Muslim there is radicals . I was in los Vegas last year and could not believe the amount of Muslim there only found out lately that there is 4 mosques in the gambling capital of the world

    Ireland is already a lost cause.
