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

Ireland: Muslims operating active recruitment network for the Islamic State

Sep 16, 2017 2:12 pm By Robert Spencer

“There are some members of ISIS in Ireland who are also connected to gangs that have carried out attacks in the rest of Europe. There is no intelligence that they are planning any attacks here, however.”

Has any attempt been made to discover where these ISIS recruiters in Ireland congregate? Is there a mosque or mosques they attend? Or is it assumed that they’re bringing all this in from elsewhere? At a certain point Western nations are going to have to confront what is being taught in mosques in Western countries, or else face the prospect of endless waves of “homegrown” jihad recruitment.

“Gardaí identify active ISIS network in Ireland,” by Michael O’Toole, Buzz.ie, September 13, 2017:

Gardaí have identified an ISIS network in Ireland that is recruiting young Muslims to fight for the terror group abroad, it has emerged.

“There are ISIS activists working together here in their own network, they are not working alone,” a source confirmed last night.

It’s the first time that security officials have confirmed that up to 25 ISIS members are operating as a unit in Ireland — and shows how organised the gang is here.

The Star can reveal that around 25 of the terrorists have come together in a specific grouping with a command structure, working together here to help the evil group kill and maim abroad.

It’s understood the cell — which has members in different parts of the country — concentrates on recruiting young Irish-based Muslims to fight for the cold-blooded Islamic State gang in Syria, Iraq and Libya.

Security officials say more than 30 young men are currently abroad fighting for Islamic groups — but not all of them are with ISIS.

Several have gone to Syria to fight for other groupings who are opposed to the brutality of ISIS.

But investigators believe the bulk of Irish-based Muslims fighting in places like Syria are on the side of the terror group.

Investigators lost track of many of them when they got to the front lines — and it’s believed that some have been killed in the fighting.

As well as trying to recruit young men to fight for Islamic State in Middle Eastern war zones, sources say the unit is also heavily involved in support roles for the terror gang.

“ISIS in Ireland is involved in recruiting, but it is also heavily into financing and other logistics,” a source said.

“They are involved in sourcing false identification, such as EU passports and identity cards, for fighters to get into Europe from abroad.

“There are some members of ISIS in Ireland who are also connected to gangs that have carried out attacks in the rest of Europe.

“There is no intelligence that they are planning any attacks here, however.”…

    The EC asks that its members should take a quota of “refugees” and all countries which have done so are now paying the price including Ireland.They could leave the EU with the benefit of retaining their biggest single market in the UK and open border with Northern Ireland.They could refuse to take in Muslims like Hungary but probably don’t want to upset “Mutter Merkel”(they are not part of the Schengen agreement)
    They may well become a base for ISIS to attack one of their main targets ie,the UK.
    They really do need to stop further immigration from Islamic countries if they don’t want to go down the foolish and unnecessary path of Britain

      Yes–the idea that anyone should take a “quota” of invaders who want to destroy them is madness.

    First hand, I am telling you this is not new. The visible signs of being under Islamisation threat are the amount of headscarves. In my little West of Ireland town, these are no longer outlandish and seem to increase at an alarming rate . Mainly paid for by the hard work of locals’ taxes – jizya.
    Now they are building a massive mosque. Paid for by who? KSA or Quatar. I want to vomit. I hate religion..that ought to be a private matter.

      Barbara, my ancestors are Irish and I am sad for the future of that beautiful and historical nation. These barbarians have NO respect for the countries they invade and are taking your culture with it!
      Where are the IRA or other strong Irish groups to fight back? Ireland is not made of the weak but those who take on authority and their enemies face to face!
      I am Australian and we are fighting here to resist this evil disease too. Many of us are ready and we will NOT let this destroy OUR homeland!

        The Irish have forgotten about the Muslim raiders along their coasts (and other European nations) for 300 years, where tens of thousands were captured and taken as slaves. This ended not that long ago…the practice was finally halted through armed intervention, when the British, French and Spanish attacked the Barbary corsairs in force in Tunis and Tripoli, starting in 1675 and into the early 18th Century.

      Very grim–but not surprising, Barbara.

      You are right i live near another small town in Ireland and on Fridays . One of the most used other languages in not Polish but Arabic . By me dressed as Arabs and not won;ting to intergrate in any way only to prostalise there religion. The amount of women covered up really make you realise how many Muslim are in the country . There will be big problems down the road. Ireland will be like England .

      My father’s side all came from Ireland. I have a 4xs great grandfather who resided in Co. Limerick and was considered a hero in the area from which he came for standing up against the English. Staker Wallace GAA is named for him so what is happening in Ireland makes me sick to my stomach. Ireland is paying the price of elitist stupidity.

      Correction: Islam is not just a religion. It is an ideology which incorporates culture, sharia (law), and a political framework into its “religion”.

      Christianity and Judaism cannot compare to this barbaric institution in any form.

      I ask you about ‘moderate’ Muslims and those who do not ‘make waves’ in a community. If it came down to the crunch and they had to choose between Islam or any other religion or way of life, what do you think they would do? I’d say better than 90% would have to accept the teachings of Muhammad and apply his directives to the letter. If they don’t, Muhammad says they should die.

      One more question: What do Muslim refugees and immigrants appear to be doing now everywhere they are taken in? If you are not sure, turn on any news channel that reports the truth.

      This is not a difficult situation to deal with. Cut the head off the snake.

    RE: 30 or so who went to Middle East, and some were killed. A shame, should have been all killed.

    Why don’t the rest of them go to Iraq & Syria & Lebanon and kill each other, especially the Hezbollah pieces of crap?

    Are the Irish really this foolish?

    Or maybe they like it when ISIS kills English citizens?

    • Damien says

      Sep 17, 2017 at 5:41 am

      As an Irishman I consider your observation that we might like to see ISIS killing our English neighbours ignorant and vile.

        Sep 17, 2017 at 10:08 am

        The Irish are Jew haters and Israel haters – pure and simple. The Irish establishment has no problem at all with Islam or the 20th century’s greatest European lover of Islam – Adolf Hitler. Those are facts, Damien, The Irish who fought against Hitler were treated like garbage when they returned from WWII. That is a fact, so stop your B.S. I could care less if Islam takes over Ireland because the Irish could care less.

      • Mockingjay says

        Sep 17, 2017 at 5:20 pm

        Well no offence, but the gist of this article seems to be that the Irish (authorities) don’t mind having ISIS on their Island going about their sinister business as long as “they are not planning any attacks there”.

        I can’t help finding that attitude quite ignorant and vile, too.

    • Gail griffin says

      Sep 17, 2017 at 8:05 am

      Yes and the Irish PM during WW2 expressed condolences for Hitler’s death. And the Irish IRA were in cahoots with Nazis in a plot called Kathleen to allow Nazi infiltration into Ireland. So is this just more of the same?

    This is the EXACT reason we are fighting to prevent more Mosques being built in our country! Mosques are the perfect places to teach, meet and recruit more like minded jihadists!
    Yes not all are terrorists but tell me which ones are NOT? You can’t so consider them all for the safety of our homelands!
    Ireland rise up and fight back…fight for your homeland, your families, your culture and your freedom! It’s time to release the spirit of your kinsmen/women and prepare to strike back!
    Demand your nation leave the EU or rebellion will follow!

    Ireland: Muslims operating active recruitment network for the Islamic State
    …………………..

    I’m part Irish myself. Nowhere is safe from Jihad. What is Ireland doing to deal with this? If it is like most of Europe, probably not much…

    I lived in Dublin for a few years and I still visit often. In 1996 you’d hardly see any around. The few would take measures to fit in.

    Today it’s a completely different situation. The Clonskeagh mosque is huge and built on the grounds of a former catholic convent.

    Every Friday they run out of parking – or so they say – and park haphazardly on the pavements outside. It’s just a matter of time before they deliberately spill out onto the streets for prayers.

    Dundrum Shopping Center is over run by burkas everyday. One time I saw security chase down two “youths” who had tried to steal expensive watches. Guess the religion?

    When you live there, you don’t notice gradual changes. When you visit every few months, it’s more obvious.

    And don’t get me started on the number of halal butchers I’ve started seeing everywhere.

    I was in Ireland for six years attending Medical zschool.Great place,very poor at the time. Great education,lots of pubs,and wonderful theater.Then,about fifteen years ago,they built a sister medical school in Bahrein,and built a Mosque in the school.I resigned from the Alumni Association,and quit sending them money! When I was there the Irish were pro Israel,no longer.
