| Even in Ireland |

| From the desk of The Brussels Journal A quote from Anjem Choudray during a debate at Dublin’s Trinity College this week The flag of Islam should be flown over the Dáil [the Irish Parliament]. [...] If US warplanes are using Irish soil, then Ireland is seen as aiding and abetting the war on so-called terror. Ireland says it has a position of neutrality but I don’t think it is seen that way in the Muslim world at all. |

| #22 Just some early N.African mooslums adopting the English impressment-style, "surprise" sea duty recruitment tactics of the day. Only half of today's modern Irish warriors would take the bait... "It's not just a job, it' an" INDENTURE. (as) |

| #20 Yup. And if they're like the Poles and other eastern European who migrated to the US a century ago -- or the ones migrating here today -- they will work hard and their kids will get educated. |

| #19 My guess is that the only reason they don't have a larger muslim population via immigration is that their economy is actually doing well and is based on industries where labor has to compete for good jobs. Dublin is now known as New Warsaw. 150,000 Poles left for Ireland and more are leaving every year. |

| #17 A good portion of Irish bid fair to either convert or at least to encourage Islamcism out of orneriness and a rejection of the catholic tradition. In other words, suicide. |

| #15 Why else do ya think they sent the Kennedys over to the US way back when? Its the Irish that hit the US coast and stuck there that are the trouble. Thos of use who got hauled into the Army (169,000+) for the Civil War left the coasts and prospered inland, while Boss Tweed and the Kennedy's forebards rotted morally. |

| #14 Oh, they've been to Ireland before. Historian Robert Davis in his book "Christian Slaves, Muslim Masters - White Slavery In the Mediterranean, the Barbary Coast and Italy", estimates that North African Muslim pirates abducted and enslaved more than 1 million Europeans between 1530 and 1780. These white Christians were seized in a series of raids which depopulated coastal towns from Sicily to Cornwall. Thousands of white Christians in coastal areas were seized every year to work as galley slaves, labourers and concubines for Muslim slave masters in what is today Morocco, Tunisia, Algeria and Libya. Villages and towns on the coast of Italy, Spain, Portugal and France were the hardest hit, but the Muslim slave raiders also seized people as far afield as Britain, Ireland and Iceland. They even captured 130 American seamen from ships they boarded in the Atlantic between 1785 and 1793. According to one report, 7000 English people were abducted between 1622 to 1644, many of them ship crews and passengers. But the Corsairs also landed on unguarded beaches, often at night, to snatch the unwary. Almost all the inhabitants of the village of Baltimore, in Ireland, were captured in 1631, and there were other raids in Devon and Cornwall. Many of these white, Christian slaves were put to work in quarries, building sites and galleys and endured malnutrition, disease and mistreatment at the hands of their Muslim slave masters. Many of them were used for public works such as building harbours. http://www.christianaction.org.za/articles_ca/2004-4-TheScourgeofSlavery.htm |

| #13 The idiot Muzzies think they can enslave the Iriash? They won't need to. A good portion of Irish bid fair to either convert or at least to encourage Islamcism out of orneriness and a rejection of the catholic tradition. |

| #12 Actually Matt all you need is some idiot w/a diaper on his head telling us Micks we can no longer enjoy a Guinness because of islam. The muzzies would soon learn the tensile strength of a 3' piece of blackthorn oak wood. |

| #11 To get my Irish cousins into the WOT all we need is a a music video of Osama singing Croppies Lie Down. There won't be a jihadi in the world with two good knees left. |

| #10 For all the good they do, they have their Ted Kennedys to bring shame to the Irish soul. |

| #9 Bring that shite to O'Connell Street. The idiot Muzzies think they can enslave the Iriash? Think again, and ask the English. They had centuries, and failed. Poem Awaiting freedom from my mother's womb At Resurrection time, some glint of rebel steel Pierced deep my soul, so deep That all the years have not erased the thrill The names of Pearse and Plunkett, Clarke, MacDonagh, Connolly Ceannt and Sean Mac Diarmada arouse, Of freedom born in blood. Wresting freedom from a tyrant's hand Had often been essayed on Ireland's soil. Essayed at cost, at bitter cost By men of eager hearts and giant mind, yet still Each century brought fourth The poets, princes of pen, To thrill with their philosophy A nation's captive hearts. No lust of blood inflamed the freedom verse To turn the ploughshare to the sword; They unlocked hearts, e'en timid hearts To dreams undreamt of within captive breasts, And set vast floods of liberty afloat Upon a sea too long content With anchored hopes, And flotsam fears. Who can recall an Emmet or a Tone, A Mitchel or a Davitt or Devoy, Without a glorious surging of the blood And anticipation of emancipation From the long-remembered wrongs Upon a nation's rights? Just tribute must be paid by Freedmen to felon's heirs. Half a century ago our resurrection came Heralded by another name, the name of Pearse, An Apollo with a quiver of words, Music-tipped arrows to reach the very souls Of those who longed and longed for freedom's balm; Gentle leader of a quiet few Who braved a tyrant's might To make a bondman free. Let me praise him who close by Rossa's grave Praised the virtue of a valiant man From a heart and tongue pregnant then With death-decision made for Freedom's urgent birth; A man whose spiritual eye could see the joy Of a ladybird upon a stalk, Or a rabbit in a field at play. There were no deaths in Dublin on that Easter day those many years ago- Such music makers cannot die As many mercenary soldiers do With battles lost or won. They have but set the music to a song That ever holds us bound, Yet leaves us ever free. Like Pearse or Plunkett, MacDonagh and Mac Diarmada Ceantt and Clarke, And Connolly DOMINIC CRILLY |

| #8 "As a Muslim, I believe Islam is superior to every other way of life and that it can resolve all the social and economic problems that Ireland suffers from." Which explains the wild migration of Europeans into countries like Saudi Arabia and Iran where Islam is the law of the land. |

| #5 There are plenty of leftist Irish who are secular, or hate the Catholic church on general principles. My guess is that the only reason they don't have a larger muslim population via immigration is that their economy is actually doing well and is based on industries where labor has to compete for good jobs. |

| #3 Um, if Islam will resolve economic problems, why doesn't Egypt, Syria, Iran, Somalia, Indonesia, etc. give it a try? |

| #2 Mr Choudray said: “As a Muslim, I believe Islam is superior to every other way of life and that it can resolve all the social and economic problems that Ireland suffers from. haha - deluded , confused , angry and pathetic describes Islam perfectly to me .
