Khalid Kelly

He also commented on the fact that U.S. troops use Shannon airport and the seven Irish army personnel in the UN-mandated Nato-led mission to Afghanistan. In an interview with Metro Eireann, an Irish newspaper, he said that Ireland’s involvement with the U.S. in these ways makes it a target for attacks.

This newspaper ran with the headline “We must listen to bin Laden” which caused widespread upset among the Muslim community in Ireland.

The Muslims in Ireland have made it clear to Kelly that they do not want any involvement with him. Also Kelly has complained that security services have been visiting with him regularly.

He said: “They want me to stop speaking out, but I won’t...It doesn’t matter if I’m in Pakistan, Lebanon, England or Ireland, there is an obligation to speak wherever you are. I’m not talking about fighting here in Ireland, but I am encouraging Muslims to fulfill their duties.”

Kelly has claimed that he only came back to Ireland because his passport went missing while travelling back from Pakistan. He claims that once he has gotten a new passport, he will decide where to settle with is two sons, Osama and Mohammed and his Pakistani wife. They currently live in Britain.

These plan contradict those mentioned in his recent interview with Metro Eireann. He said that he plans to set up a group called “Islam for Ireland," and that he was still in constant communication with his mentor from al-Muhajiroun’s, Bakri.

A journalist from the Irish Times interviewed Bakri three years ago. He said that while he admired Kelly they had no interest in Ireland.

He said: “It is not a relevant arena for me because I don’t have people there...Ireland is definitely not on our map.”

Jacer I am Dublin born I left Ireland when i was 22. I was raised an r.c. I now find it more enlightening being an atheist. My point is most adherents of Islam are not extremist,my experiences living in Muslim countries they only wish for a happy prosperous life,education,housing etc(no different from us). Leave them in peace to follow their own beliefs and we mind our own business and do our own thing,the world may then be a better place.

(Belatedly back on this topic). Agreed again seano, Khalid K is a feather in a tornado but it’s still a tornado that he’s caught up in. The tornado of Islam is there and it will never bring peace wherever it blows. I disagree with yr assertion that claimants of any system or religion are pushing a power base... As I’ve posted often, I was a very competitive sports-orientated person, GAA football & hurling, soccer, athletics, Irish dancing etc., always wanting to win. The greatest victory that I’ve had was in surrender - to Christ’s love and his message. I would hope you recover the sense of right that your Irish forebears’ they knew through Ireland’s Penal Years, and kept their faith in Christ in the face of all horrors and doubts. "Doubting" St. Thomas did, eventually – you can too.

Khalid is only a feather in a tornado. You miss the point it was Italian government policies that oppressed the Libyans nothing to do with the church. Some Muslims may think this way. Every so for many Years we have some propagandists claiming this or that system or religion is bent on world domination and people do not see that the claimants themselves are pushing their own power base. It reminds me of an old saying "The greatest trick the devil plays is convincing you he does not exist. Will the real devil please stand up.

Agreed seanmelbourne, the Catholic Church had some bad policies on how Christianity should be spread and protected. At least, the Church has acknowledged its mistakes (e.g. Inquisitions) and no longer has such practices. Islam will never acknowledge its mistakes and continues to hold its peoples subject to the sword and stonings to death. It will continue its objective of world domination, including of your adopted home country, just as your man ‘Khalid’ Kelly has proclaimed his intentions for Ireland.

Jacer the world is full of anecdotal stories I lived in Libya for some months and you should hear the stories of torture perpetrated on the Libyan people by the catholic Italians when the were the oppressors and that only ceased in the early 1950s.

(... Cont’d) This story is to be believed – Saudi Arabia was sparsely populated back in Mohammed’s and the official’s ancestors’ time. In fact, when I was there, the population of Saudi Arabia was about 10 million of which only 2 million were native, the rest mostly Palestinian or Muslim African refugees and others expatriates like me from a multitude of countries. Arabia was a very different place in Mohammed’s time, so sparsely populated and peaceful that it was easily subjugated under death by sword or the threat of it. To this day, the sword is the main means of executing people who transgress Mohammed’s Koran in Saudi Arabia and some other countries (the weekly Friday morning executions place in Riyadh is called “Chop-chop Square" by ex-pats, not nice but it happens every Friday after mosque prayers. Death by stoning (i.e. lots and lots of heavy rocks thrown at you until you are dead) is still another means of execution for some, especially in rural areas of Saudi Arabia. “Khalid” Kelly, if you are reading this post, please take note. The story is true. I was there and heard it from the horse’s mouth - a true, unfettered Saudi man, yet in a job as a govt official, wearing the typical Saudi smigeen beard, white thobe and camel-feet tethering rope on his head. You were not. Where you were once - Pakistan - is merely a foot-stool of Saudi Islamism. You should not allow yourself to be subject to the sword of Islam. No one should be. Instead, be subject to this true Saudi man’s village history and reject Islam for what it is – a false religion.

This Saudi govt official told me in the privacy of my Riyadh home how his ancestors’ village was attacked and slaughtered by Mohammed’s growing army. Some survived, as some did in other villages of Arabia but they all never forgave or forgot Mohammed for what he and his army of swordsmen did. The official was a descendant of these survivors and knew this story through typical hand-me-down family stories, as familiar as stories passed down through generations of Irish and Irish-Americans. And so you have it from the horse’s mouth. (More, oh yes there is!...)

(Cont’d) From this Saudi govt official’s horse’s mouth, this story came out: Mohammed was in his own village of Mecca about 600AD when a some Christian missionaries on a camel train passed through, spreading the message of Christ and His teachings, just as Christ asked them to do. A lot in the village were converted to Christianity’s message of loving God and loving your neighbour, speaking of Moses’ escape from the desert which was legendary at that time amongst the peoples of Arabia, themselves neighbours of the land of Egypt back then. They spoke of sacrificial lambs and miraculous events and visions. Sometime later, mulling Mohammed saw how successful the Christian missionaries were and decided he too could shout a god (Allah) message and start a new (his) religion. Apparently known as a young angry illiterate man in the small village (back then) of Mecca, when he tried to do so, speaking of his own “visions” and Moses’ and Christ’s sacrificial lambs, people scorned his stories of visions. [Important Aside: people in small isolated villages tended to be family-related. Conjugations between related family members frequently produced mentally and physically damaged offspring. This is widely-proven in today’s medical and scientific world but would not have been known in Mohammed’s village or time]. So Mohammed gathered a few friends, took up swords and attacked the people of that time in Mecca, killing many to force home his ideas; so started Mohammed’s reign of terror throughout the smaLL villages of Arabia, and, in this day and age, in the rest of the world.

I would hope that “Khalid” Kelly reads Irish Central’s posts. If so, he might read this long one of mine. I lived and worked in Saudi Arabia for a number of years and got to know a lot about the people there and their way of life. The people are religious, most pray to God a few times a day just as we Christians all over the world do. One day, a native Saudi man, a govt Ministry official, with good English, urgently came to my home in Riyadh to discuss certain business stuff ahead of a next day meeting. Over minted tea and biscuits, we had a normal business chat together. Then, as often in such chats, it became social chit chat in my Riyadh sitting room. He asked me what religion I practiced in my home country and I unashamedly told him Roman Catholicism. He then stunned me by saying that he, a Saudi, didn’t believe in Islam or any religion. He said he did all the things that Saudis are expected to do – mosque attendance, Ramadan fasts, Mecca pilgrimage etc., but he was a non-believer anyway. Shocked, I asked him why. I kid you not - in reply, he told me that Islam is definitely a false religion and could prove it by the following story that he related to me, over desert-dry crumbled biscuits and refreshing tea, about his village’s ancestors and “Prophet” Mohammed. (more... ready for a good read?- A story from a “horse’s mouth” as we say in Ireland. Oh, you don’t know that expression, do you not? Well it’s to do with people knowing a good horse by examining its mouth, gums and teeth. If they’re good, then you know you’re getting a truthful, trustful horse).

IrishAndProud - Aye! look at what America has produced - a man shooting his own countrymen all because of the sick propaganda embedded in his head. A mother is mourning, somewhere, the loss of her child. and our prayers should be with his.

irishdan, deport him to any other muslim nation, whether he's Irish or not. There's plenty of other nations that embrace his faith, for him to go to. He wants Islam, doesn't he? Fine, then...let him have Islam. But don't just let him wander about freely in a country (even if it's his own) that he's openly vowed to destroy. People who actively work toward the goals he espouses have no business or place anywhere on Irish soil, whether they're Irish themselves, or not. Goodness sakes, irishdan -- 'Anne Glover?' Don't tell me you cannot see the difference between her and Khalid Kelly! Anne Glover was an innocent, enslaved murder victim. Khalid Kelly embraces a violent, expansionist, foreign faith and actively seeks the mass murder of his fellow Irish and the destruction and extinction of their culture...a slight difference from wee small Anne, wouldn't you say? Don't sully her memory (or any other Irish person who's suffered discrimination and gross injustice) by even mentioning them in the same paragraph with the likes of Khalid Kelly and/or HIS goals.

Some of you out there are a sad bloody lot and no doubt about it! The famous words of WB Yeats the Night the now world applauded Plow and the Stars....." You have disgraced your selves again!" As child and youth I helpes collect money for a local priest Fr.Dan Breen RIP who was on a Pastakan Mission, he left a legacy of churches and schools behind, build with Irish Catholic money for our fellow Christians out there. The good Padre would not have got too far if he was greeted in the overwhelming Islamic society the same as some here are advocating......... The first point many seem to miss is this guy is 100% old Irish stock, he is a genuine home grown nutcase, lock stock and barrell. Most Irish are appaled and horrified as his pronouncements......Rather than the canary in the coalmine as some reader described him, he is if anything the cockroach in the turfshed!...... Some other points arising.....'Lovepoint'.....Papal flags are regularly flown here regularly on all public occasions......'Irish & Proud' deport where, the man may be lunatic soup but he is Irish through and trhough!.........Take a quick look at the concluding piece and remember our own journey......."..In 1688, the first woman killed in Cotton Mather's witch trials in Massachusetts was an old Irish woman named Anne Glover, who had been captured and sold as a slave in 1650. She spoke no English. She could recite The Lord's Prayer in Gaelic and Latin, but without English, Mather decided her Gaelic was discourse with the devil, and hung her..." A prayer for poor the soul of poor Anne.... and for all the 5,000 a month now leaving Ireland that they will get a better reception in their new host countries than advocated here for the handfull of Moslems in Ireland!
