When Diarmuid Martin thinks of Abraham, he probably thinking of Genesis 22:15-18, in which Abraham is rewarded for his faith and told he will become a blessing to the nations: “by your descendants shall all the nations of the earth bless themselves, because you have obeyed my voice.” But his Muslim friends don’t read Genesis. […]
Ireland: Catholic priest invites Muslims to Mass, Muslim proclaims supremacy of Islam from pulpit
Father Stephen Farragher is no doubt a loyal follower of Pope Francis, who has made the risible claim that “authentic Islam and the proper reading of the Koran are opposed to every form of violence.” Although this is not and could not ever be a dogma of the Roman Catholic Church, it is assumed to […]
Ireland: Migrant parents convicted for “appalling act of cruelty” in first female genital mutilation case
“An African couple in Dublin has been convicted of having female genital mutilation (FGM) performed on their 21-month-old daughter, in the first such case in the Republic of Ireland.” Bravo to Judge Elma Sheahan, who stated that “the child suffered an “appalling act of cruelty” in the “most egregious breach of trust by those presumed […]
Ireland: Muslima who was member of the Islamic State granted bail after swearing on Qur’an to comply with conditions
It’s all right. She promises “I won’t kill anyone.” What could possibly go wrong? The Qur’an warns believers not to take unbelievers as “friends or helpers,” “unless that you but guard yourselves against them” (3:28). This is a foundation of the idea that believers may legitimately deceive unbelievers when under pressure. The word used for […]
Ireland: Muslim migrant who stabbed random man to death and assaulted two others not guilty by reason of insanity
This would be easier to accept at face value were it not for the fact that authorities all over the West have so often explained what is clearly and obviously jihad activity as mental illness. “Asylum seeker not guilty by reason of insanity over murder of Japanese man,” RTÉ, December 12, 2019: An asylum seeker […]
Ireland Sending Military to Syria to Bring Back Islamic State Bride
But it’s okay. She promises “I won’t kill anyone.” My latest in FrontPage: Irish authorities really, really want Lisa Smith back in the country, so much so that they’re sending military personnel to the foreign country where she is stranded in order to rescue her. And who is this Lisa Smith? Did she discover a […]
Ireland sending military personnel to Syria to bring back Islamic State bride who promises “I won’t kill anyone”
Irish authorities really, really want Lisa Smith back in the country: “Officials from the country’s Department of Foreign Affairs have reportedly been deployed to Turkey’s border region to retrieve the 38-year-old, who travelled to Syria three years ago to join the Islamic State. Members of the Irish military and its special operations force, the Army […]
The Islamic State views Ireland as “somewhere to fundraise rather than attack”
Apparently they know they don’t face a whole lot of law enforcement pushback there. The Republic of Ireland “does not have wide powers to detain ISIS extremist suspects who return to Ireland from abroad.” What could possibly go wrong? “Isis views Ireland as ‘somewhere to fundraise rather than attack,’” The Journal, October 2, 2019: THE […]
Ireland: Court awards $8,265 to Muslim prof who says he was fired for defending female genital mutilation
Ali Selim apologized and condemned female genital mutilation, and claimed (where have we heard this before?) that “his comments had been misrepresented.” But what if Ali Selim had said on RTÉ that the root causes of Islamic terrorism were in the Qur’an and Hadith, and that Islam teaches warfare against and subjugation of unbelievers? Even […]
Ireland: Youth leader bows to Leftist mob, disavows conservatives associated with conference he attended
This is yet another episode in the Left’s ongoing efforts to rule any point of view other than their own beyond the bounds of acceptable discourse. The Irish Independent is still trying to hang Foley-Walsh by, among other things, association with Stephen Miller and me: “He said he did not support or endorse the views […]
Ireland allows police hijab to prevent Muslims from “becoming marginalised and turning to extremism”
This is unlikely to work, as Muslims don’t wage jihad because they’re feeling “marginalized” in Western societies, but such is the prevailing myth. By the time Drew Harris and his colleagues discover that it is a myth, it will likely be too late. “Headscarves and turbans to be allowed as part of Garda uniform,” Irish […]
Irish bishop: “To define a religious group as being more prone to terrorism than any other group is irresponsible”
There have been 34,772 Islamic jihad terror attacks worldwide since 9/11. In that span, how many terror attacks were committed by people citing the Torah as their inspiration or screaming “Jesus is Lord!”? The irresponsible one here is Kevin Doran, who is trying to shame Catholics into thinking it wrong to note that there are […]
Hamas-linked “charity” Islamic Relief Worldwide expanding into Ireland
The Muslim charity lslamic Relief Worldwide (IRW), which ties to Hamas and the Muslim Brotherhood, has expanded into Ireland. IRW was branded a jihad terror linked organization by Israel, Canada, and the United Arab Emirates. Of course, IRW insists that it has no connection to jihad terror, but NGO-Monitor has outlined some uncomfortable truths about […]
Actress Dakota Fanning to play African Muslim refugee fleeing to “cold new world” in London
Will any producer in Hollywood produce a movie that shows the reality of the abuses against women, Christians, Jews, other religious minorities, gays, apostates, etc. in the Muslim world, as well as the abuses that have been transported to Western nations because of open-door immigration? Not a chance. In an upcoming movie filmed in Dublin, […]
Ireland: Muslima says up to 150 jihadis live in Ireland and laugh at Ireland for underestimating their threat
AN IRISH woman [AAliyah] who admits to having been radicalised after she converted to Islam claims that there are up to 150 Islamic extremists living in Ireland. The woman has also alleged that on several occasions she was visited in Ireland by Khuram Butt – the leader of the terror attack on London Bridge which […]
Human trafficking official warns about UK-Ireland “soft border” that May fights to keep open
A warning has been issued: “’People from eastern Europe and further afield are coming into the UK via the Common Travel Area through the Republic of Ireland,’ warned Tom Dowdall, the NCA’s deputy director and lead official for human trafficking.” Many of those coming from “farther afield” are, of course, Muslim migrants. Recently, Northern Ireland’s […]
Ireland: Judge jails Muslim for funding the Islamic State, warns against “Islamophobia”
“In his comments, he also said the overwhelming majority of Muslims in Ireland do not support such radical ideologies as IS and stressed that the rise of Islamophobia should have no place in society.” How does he know that the overwhelming majority of Muslims in Ireland do not support such radical ideologies? He doesn’t. He […]
Irish PM: “Europe needs migration. We have a crisis because anti-immigration parties have been successful”
Irish Prime Minister Leo Varadkar has declared that the crisis facing the EU is not mass immigration, but European resistance to importing large numbers of migrants from the third world. This preposterous comment comes from a leader whose government paid media to promote the plan to bring in one million migrants, and which asked homeowners to […]
Ireland invites Palestinian jihadi plane hijacker to speak at teachers’ club in Dublin
Israel has lodged an official protest to Ireland over the invitation of Leila Khaled, a convicted Palestinian plane hijacker who has continued to advocate violence against Israelis, to speak at a teachers’ club in Dublin belonging to the Irish National Teachers’ Organization. Violent jihadist “plane hijacker Leila Khaled” is invited to speak at a teachers’ […]
Ireland: Homeowners asked to house Muslim migrants in the spare rooms of their homes for up to a year
It was revealed in February that the Irish government paid media to promote good news stories about a plan to bring one million Muslim migrants into the country. Now the Irish are being asked to open their homes, too: Homeowners in Ireland have been asked to pledge spare rooms or vacant properties to house migrants […]
