    Ah the good doctor is back. Baited into posting on after hours, on boards.ie once again. Champion of the far-right in Ireland and the israeli embassy. A true hero.

    Every time this blogger enters this discussion with the admirable offer of you disproving his viewpoints, you resort only to personal abuse, you have lost this argument, get over it.

    I believe it's a perfectly understandable analogy, you disagree, that's no problem.

    It was ridculous, the swastika was hijacked by Nazis and has huge meaning today but can still be seen in temples in places like India and Malaysia (have seen them there myself.

    Allahu Akhbar is not a political phrase, it's just a religious thanks used by moslems, whether terrorist or not.

    People are displaying ignorance if they fear it or think it's a declaration of support for terrorism.

    Seriously what a comparison.

    Allahu Akbar is not an offensive or inappropriate term. It's a completely normal phrase to moslems that is used on many occasions from the birth of a child to prayer, weddings etc.

    Really should not mean that people who say it are associated with terrorists.

    Well if I hear some lad shouting it out in a crowd I’m running for cover as would most!

    Well I do apologise but it strikes me as rather (extremely!) hypocritical to berate one group of people over one thing, call for their ban and label them as terrorists over their belief system, but at the same time have a silent acceptance for what the dominant belief system of this Island is when it isn't entirely different regarding the points you raised about the MB (about homosexuality and women).

    Who is calling who a terrorist on this thread?

    Absolutely nothing ridiculous about the comparison, thousands have been slaughtered whilst hearing this battle cry over the past decade.

    I'm not attempting to make the claim that these supporters are terrorists, I'm merely stating that they should have a bit of cop-on if they believe this chant is in any way appropriate in a western airport.

    It showed a clear lack of compassion and respect as was clear to see on the face of Katherine Zappone (One of the Halawa's loudest champions), when they started to chant.

    The argument ended weeks ago when Ibrahim Halawa was acquitted of all charges against him. The horse has bolted, it's gone, it's over the hill and far away into the distance at this stage.

    Doctor mark is a big boy he can answer for himself, he doesn't need you boys constantly attacking anyone who questions him.

    If you really want to help him, you can help him go through his tweets and find any that may incriminate him. There are a few thousand tweets to get through, he may be a bit overwhelmed having to go through them all by himself.

    Thankfully for a lot of people, the new Non-Fatal Offences (Amendment) Bill hasn't come into effect yet. Or has it?

    Absolutely no one has attacked you, and by labeling those with polarizing views to you as "boys" only displays your own immaturity, frankly it's embarrassing.

    There’s only one person doing the attacking when humphrys is posting.

    What is your opinion on the Incitement to Hatred Act 1989 and the Non-Fatal Offences Against the Person Act, 1997? Do you understand where the line is or are you going to keep going?

    Unlike you and I, this blogger does not post anonymously on Boards.ie and has been open from the start about his identity. Therefore I believe it's deeply troubling, if not outright slanderous, that you would make these inferences that he has broken the law.

    Slanderous or libellous? Silly me, I keep confusing slander and libel, which one are you inferring that I've committed? Perhaps defamation?

    Anyway, it's not up to you, or I, or even the good doctor himself to decide whether he is guilty or not. Similar to Ibrahim Halawa, innocent until proven guilty.

    I do suggest people read up on the Prohibition of Incitement To Hatred Act, 1989

    http://www.irishstatutebook.ie/eli/1989/act/19

    Also

    Non-Fatal Offences Against the Person Act, 1997

    http://www.irishstatutebook.ie/eli/1997/act/26

    also

    http://revisedacts.lawreform.ie/eli/1997/act/26/revised/en/html

    People really should know what they're getting into when they continue to deliberately target a person who has been acquitted of all charges and constantly linked to an organisation even though that person has disavowed them on national tv.

    Are you a legal professional? As far as I am aware it it is not permitted to offer or push legal advice on Boards.

    I doubt you are qualified to interpret such legislation

    If you have a issue with anything a poster says here it is open to you to report same.

    Otherwise you are talking rubbish

    Of all the words you could've used to defend Allah akhbar being used in airports!
