So, we will have a national holiday named after him soon. Obviously enough, he will be on the LLS this week.

All those comedians who were parked in that Halawa thread in the old Politics Cafe won't be a happy bunch today.....

I'd say he's mad for a Supermacs.

I read a bit of the old politics threads on the case, it's pretty obvious what the reaction will be

I care as much about his release as I did about his imprisonment.

How do you feel, give us your insight?

I like the way RTE finally aluded to the aqusations against Ibrahim's father, that he has connections to the Muslim Brotherhood. Not one news organization dared to investigate though. I guess we'll just take his word for it.

His father is Imam of Dublin's Clonskeagh mosque and represents Irish Muslims at many events.
Despite suggestions to the contrary, Hussein Halawa denies any connection to the Muslim Brotherhood. His family and supporters continued to call for his son's freedom,

I'd like to see a journalist ask some hard questions as to why he was really there and why he went on stage during a Muslim brotherhood rally and started addressing a large crowd. He was, as we are led to believe, there on holidays.

But no-one will have the balls to ask that and it will all be soft-soaped.

I'm glad he finally got his trial, iirc, that's all I ever said on the matter. Holding an innocent man for 4 years is disgraceful

He'll be on with Turps in a week or 2 and you can be sure no hard questions will be asked:mad:.

He was only a kid of 17

But that would probably be seen as racist though :rolleyes:

Respect your opinion.

While I do agree fully that he should have got a fair trial 100%, I be still concerned about 2 things.

Why he was arrested in first place
And the dangerous links his family has.

But I don't know the full facts. But if his family are associated with MB and nobody has stated otherwise including his family this chap maybe no Saint.

Nothing else to say.

rizzee

Play with fire and youre going to get burnt.

I'm glad I wont have to hear anything in the news or radio every couple of days about him soon.

Unless he gets a large sum of money to produce a documentary on his life the past few years...

Sortof irrelevant to the issue of being acquitted on the charges of which he was accused after a four year process though, no?

Doubtless the Gardai etc will note his Brotherhood links for future reference, but if the charge wasn't "Supporting the Brotherhood", does that matter?

Jayop

Delighted he's been acquitted. Was a disgrace how it's been handled over there.

I have seen some of the comments on Facebook and elsewere, and the vast majority of supporters for this guy are women.
And of the women that i know on Facebook , i know that they did not do any research on this guy,
What gives?

Bet he can't wait to get home to his Egyptian cotton towels...................................

Better that he is released, the interest in him will die down now thankfully that it is all over.

Anyway, as long as he (and his silent Dad from the Clonskeagh Mosque), together with the daughters who now want their Turkish Muslim arranged spouses granted free entry here are kept in the sights I will be kind of happy.

Hope he is never interviewed on any channel here either. FGS. Leave that to his legal advisors please.

First up though LLS Quelle Surprise.

When is he coming home to the bosom of his family anyway.

Oh it's so easy to throw out the racism card and thus try to stifle any questions or debate on the issue isn't it? I don't think many are buying anymore though.

And there are questions to be asked... like (as mentioned above) he was on-stage addressing a crowd while allegedly on holidays.

Yes, the ridiculously delayed trial/hearing of the case is a disgrace - but.. their country, their rules - and good for him that he's been released.

But it doesn't erase the questions and motivations.

Ian O'Doherty may ask those questions. Not to Halawa directly as there will be a wall of silence around those issues from his camp.

But O'Doherty will get harangued and screeched at from the Far-Left if and when he does.

It's extremely easy to throw out the racism card, especially when After Hours is absolutely riddled with them.

No it won't happen.

George Hook is gone as a result of that.

We are just nodding donkeys in unison now. Nothing can be said that doesn't conform to the Leftie Liberal mantra.

It is worse than North Korea here now.

I totally disagree on the their country their rules part. The right to a fair and timely trial is a basic human right

Newsflash: No matter how much people like yourself may like to believe that anyone who thinks otherwise is a big oul racist, xenophobe (or whatever other emotive nonsense ye care to use), someone's skin colour, religion, or country of origin doesn't make them immune from scrutiny.

Not just applicable to this individual/case either.

Have a look at the hpv anti vaxer stuff on Facebook. You'll see a similar pattern.
