@ jamieLM Oct 05 05.38pmedt. I can’t agree w/ an important part of what you said. As far as I know, only the Arabs’ land of Saudi Arabia (SA), alone, does not allow any Christian Churches’ daily or weekly Christian celebrations of the Eucharist, under pain of jail, or exportation, or be-handing or be-heading. Neighbouring Arab Counties of SA, like the United Arab Emirates (UAE), including their emirates of Abu Dhabi and Dubai, other Arab countries like Syria, Lebanon, Palestine, Turkey, Egypt, Libya, Morocco, lots of Muslim-orientated African and Asian and other countries with large Muslim populations like Malaysia, Indonesia, the Philippines, India and even Pakistan, have Catholic and other Christian Churches where celebration of the sacrifice of the Eucharist is allowed, but hated, threatened and often violently, murderously attacked, for Christians living in their lands. (More…)
I have never heard such a load of bile and hate speech on IC as I have read from the posters below it's absolutely terrifying trying to grasp your hate and bigotry.BTW canadianirish 18 fools do not make a religion and I believe Melbourne is the most ethnic diverse city in the world.I'm disappointed you would join in this chorus of hate.
May I once again refer all readers of ICentral to the short but highly revealing demographic analysis available online to all? Copy and paste the following into your search bar… “Changing Demographics - How Muslims are growing and Islam is spreading”. >>> If you watch and listen to it (it runs for about 7 minutes of yr time) it won’t surprise any one of you, wherever you live. Funnily enough, today, I felt such a rage inside me about what’s going on while in a Dublin City shopping centre when I saw one these overwhelming Muslims and his daughter that I almost challenged him and her on the spot to go to the home where the beliefs they believe in are rampant. But, extraordinarily, the Holy Spirit of Christ the King quieted and stopped me and silently said “jacers, let Me handle this scourge; I’ve been scourged enough already to know”. Just pray to, be yourself and be with our Christ please; trust in Him who knows all, is all I’ll say. But like our Christ, sometime you'll feel prayers are sometimes not enough… Our Christ His Holy self showed that human trait when he raged at the falseness of those like Gannon, outside His Father's Temple. When the call comes for me to rage up again against all the falseness of Islam, I think I might be just ready to deliver. Others will, too.
Hell will freeze over before any Islamic country allows Christians to build a church there, let alone in a capital city. I agree with the poster who spoke about Dearborn, MI. Muslims demand that Christians show tolerance and respect for them at every level when they move into non-Islamic countries, but they don't do that for Christians. Instead, Christians are persecuted and killed with no Muslim outrage. I think Catholics and Protestants had better quit wasting time with silly infighting and unite to defend and preserve their Christian faith. Christians, with their low birth rate, are going to be the minority in almost every country in the world in the future.
REBELFORCE, i know its actually stomach churing stuff, it would make you make puke. But europe seems to be dead, its the old "whats mine is mine and whats yours is negotiable". The do gooders might only realise what they've done when its way way too late.
Ironic that Moslems are planning a $84 million mosque in Dublin but Irish-Catholics were never able to erect a full-fledged Catholic Cathedral or Basilica in the Irish capital. What a disgrace.
They don't want to build the childrens' hospital but they want to build this yoke. Where the common sense. It could put Ireland in a very favorable position????????????? is this supposed to be a good thing. Remember when nazism used democracy to get into government power and then destroyed democracy, remember that folks.
@bogsidebunny - Canada has been described as the most tolerant country in the world and Toronto as the most multicultural city on the globe. Toronto and the GTA is home to 300,000 muslims. While most seem to be peacful, law abiding citizens, it is the extremist element that should concern you and your fellow Irishmen. In a 2006 terrorism plot Canadian counter terrorist forces arrested 18 Al Qaeda operatives known as the 'Toronto 18'. They were planning to detonate truck bombs, open fire in crowded areas of our city, storm the Canadian Broadcasting Centre, the Canadian parliament building in Ottawa, CSIS (our intelligence service) buildings in both Ottawa and Toronto, the parliamentary peace tower, and to take hostages and BEHEAD our Prime Minister and other leaders. Just up the street a few miles from me is a large mosque out of which one the 'Toronto 18' cells was operating. Ireland should most assuredly brace itself for impending attacks. Thanks to our crack intelligence and security forces working in conjunction with the CIA and MI5, they were able to thwart this attack on my beloved country. Ireland many not be so lucky. An earlier poster wrote that the paramilitary groups in N.I. should work together to thwart the extremist Muslim elements should they attack. He may be right. In the end, how do you fight terrorism?....with terrorists? Perhaps.
You still have a chance to stop this evil.
Why are they coming to Ireland when Irish Central tells us that so many young Irish are leaving due to lack of employment? Food for thought!!
Ireland’s entrance into EU and exit from earlier splendid isolation is causing a crisis, such as has been happening in other more pluralistic societies elsewhere. First our people, having been enticed with supposed freedoms of secular humanism, let go of not only excesses and abuses of clericalism; they question their Christian heritage. Easy to do if one only knew cultural Catholicism or Protestantism, rather than knowing Jesus as one’s personal Lord and Saviour. Ireland, in keeping with Christian principles of freedom of expression, conscience and religion (or non-religion) now has Muslim communities and mosques—even though Islam does not allow for these freedoms. Challenge to Irish now is to know basis for their identity and beliefs—the person of Jesus Christ, and learn how to respectfully share Jesus and His truths with Muslims. Not easy, but possible and necessary. Out of this can grow more authentic, personalized Christian living.
Why would you want to welcome the Muslims to Ireland. It is that a few people want to make a lot of money from this project? I suspect that is the reason. I guess they don't care about what Muslims are doing in the other countries around the world, such as GB, France Italy and the US. Be very careful of what you ask for.
OK folks nothing is going to stop this project for TWO reasons: 1) Numerous Irish Christians are gonna make a load of money out of this deal. 2) The Irish love the Muslims and hate the Jews. Last count there were 50,000 Muslims in Ireland and growing by leaps and bounds. But the number of Jews is under 2,000 and falling fast. To all you "Irish-Americans" who find this incredulous you better brace youselves for an even more Islamic influence in Ireland. The Irish are a tollerant race. They've allowed the Travelling community of about 22,000 to rule, rob and scrounge welfare for years and there's barely a negative word uttered. The country is not your Grandmother's or Grandfather's birthplace. Greed and Ethnic naivety has brought this Greel island down and it's sinking further every day.
please post this to your face book, twitter and email,so people can be more aware of what is happening in this world. This really needs to be stopped.
who amongst those people who can give planning permission,will make a stand and say no to this buider. is he too blind or just ignorant of the facts. yes australia had its first riot.they should have all been round up and sent back where they came from. its inevitable it will happen in ireland if this gets through and is passed. money is always an incentive,peoples lives arent,apparently. will wait and see what happens,i hope sanity prevails.
