Schools called to accommodate Isalamic beliefs

CptMackey · 03-09-2014 4:48pm

Very dangerous if people actually listen to this rubbish. Should have no religion in schools at all. Least of all any religion that is based on some goat hearder thousands of years ago.
The sooner people leave religion behind the better.

No you would be on a video uploaded with your head on your back lol

Lay schools. That is all.

Ironic how he believes "a revolution of inclusivity" in Irish schools can be brought about by separating children for prayer, music, PE, etc.

I wonder if there's a single Islamic country on the planet amenable to accommodating the beliefs of non-Muslims in their State schools...

With regards to the Muslim faith, there is a very strong belief that it is their way or the highway (i.e. hell) and I believe that allowing this, or in fact anything that remotely entertains the idea at a later date will only lead to situations similar to what is being seen in the UK - its an awful f*ck-up over there

Why do we have to accommodate this religion so much.....why cant we just say no...

No we don't want to go down the route of the uk, but neither do we want to stay as we are.

The current situation in Ireland is everyone should be catholic, hence the catholic ethos school issue.

I'm not religious but Ireland is a Christian country & so should stay that way.
I do not agree with Muslims wanting to come & change it. It would not happen in a Muslim country. So if they come they must integrate.
The problem with the U.K. is they bent over backwards to the extent that a white Englishman will get no council house even after paying taxes all there lives but a Somali family will come in & get a 4 bedroom house

I don't understand if they want all these things then why don't they go to a Muslim country....At least the weather will be nicer

Assimilation and secularism please.

Ireland is not a Christian country. It is a country with christian people living in it, as well as others. I and my family are Irish despite not being Christian.

It is a Christian country the same way as Israel is a Jewish country etc.

Because the majority of people here are Christian
There are minority religions & beliefs living in Ireland
If not a chrisitan country then what would you call it?

You've answered it. It's a republic with a christian majority. Last time I checked we weren't living in a theocracy.

By your logic, it's a a female's country because there are more women than men in it.

And it's an English country, because the majority of people speak English.

My family is Irish, on both sides, going right back into the mists of time. Your ill-informed statement implies I am somehow less of a citizen because I don't subscribe to a particular set of superstitions.
If a Christian moves to Ireland are they more welcome than a non-Christian? More Irish than I am?

Religion has no place in schools, none at all. Generations of inculcation has resulted in a segment of the population who believe it is acceptable to make statements about Ireland being a Christian country.

Infect your kids with religion and other superstitions at home if you want, but keep it out of schools.

expectationlost · 03-09-2014 6:29pm

what do these muslims who want this stuff do now?

Help!!!! · 03-09-2014 6:31pm

Wow didn't realise there were so many anti Christians out tonight
As I said I am not religious but if you spoke to most foreigners that will describe Ireland as a Christian country
The same way as they would describe another country as Muslim, Buddhist etc

Are you a foreigner? Is that why you refer to Ireland as a Christian country?

So I should ask a foreigner what sort of country I live in? Are you trying to be funny?

You don't like foreigners though, do you? Or have you forgotten your little anecdote about Somalis?
