Plans for large-scale Dublin Mosque get green light

ameirecan

Great news. Plans for a large-scale mosque in West Dublin have been given the go-ahead by An Bord Pleanála in spite of local opposition. The four storey building will house a mosque, community centre, and primary school (but for Muslims only, tee hee!) More mosques please.

Hats off to the Muslims. The only crowd taking religion seriously these days around here

No problem with mosques except the call to prayer.

Experience_day

Good God almighty. I'm almost beginning to see why people used to call us retarded....

We swap one oppressive religion for another. Great source of financing and potential financing to boot.

The new purpose-built mosque will be financed from Dr al-Sattar’s family fund, his life savings, and donations from the Muslim community in Leicester. He also has plans to fundraise among the medical community in Saudi Arabia and Pakistan.

Kilkenny is screwed then. Its going through one way or another.

That call to prayer minaret wont last long if it starts waking Corduff up at 5.30am.

How about a viber to prayer as an alternative? Ding ding!

How do you make that out? From the article -


The Council also stated that the applicant has indicated that the school and community centre will be open to everyone.

AfterLife

If you read the article it sounds like there will be no audible call to prayer. There's none in the one in Clonskeagh audible outside the building either.

Islam with its issues of terrorism building a mosque in Ireland is a silly idea considering.

It's a recessive and reactionary ideology that should be actively discouraged.

If the Saudis want to fund mosques then they should only stick to the ones in their own country they should be told to **** off from here Ireland is a European non Islamic country and should remain so.

Not from the north and most of it was before my time but that was a completely different situation to the current Islamic terror inflicting the world and anyhow why does that justify importing Islamic terror into this country.

I don't think anyone suggested importing Islamic terror into the country?
did I miss something?

As a conservative male, I welcome our new Muslim friends. I intend to convert so I can reap the benefits of Islam: can have multiple wives, will no longer be bound by political correctness, can say and do as I please safe in the knowledge I can use my minority privilege as a get out of jail card.

Can beat, assault and oppress women and feminists will defend my right to do so.

If I decide to commit an act of terror, liberals will brush it under the carpet as the desperate actions of a 'mentally ill lone wolf' who felt alienated from society.

Oh yes, it will be good.

On a serious note, I don't believe all Muslims are bad people, not at all. Just that we are probably not importing the best and brightest and we really should avoid the same mistakes as continental Europe.

Imams preaching hatred of the west and radicalising young muslins have very much to do with promoting terrorism so mosques need to be discouraged for security reasons alone.

To quote the great Billy Connolly..

Well its exactly the same noise..."

You'll be offering to sell a kidney to have big bells instead chief.

So we'll avoid the problems in France, Germany, Sweden, Britain? Massive increase in sex crime, no go areas, terror attacks?

By the way if you're a woman then go to hell. A muslim male like myself does not have to listen to you.

No of course not, but for some Sharia law is more important than the civil law.

Wrong. It’s earlier, more often and audible (in Islamic countries) everywhere.

I'm not seeing a problem here?
plenty of people live under the flightpath for the airport, what is the problem there?

Cool. Why not try and live in one of the vibrant Swedish no go zones? Or Afghanistan? The latter might be safer actually for women now. Look I don't think we'll turn into an Islamic country, I just don't want to have to deal with the same problems with crime and integration as other countries in Europe.

Now, I know that makes me literally worse than Hitler, but it's just how I feel.

I don't have any reason to live in Afghanistan, thanks.
& I work with men from Sweden & the problems there are not religion based, they are social issues, same as every country has.

What's wrong with Afghanistan? Just wear a burka and you'll be fine.

And yes, every country has it's problems but Sweden's problems (rape capital of Europe, no go zones, hand grenade attacks, ethnic riots etc) are directly related to immigration. So no, let's not follow their lead.

Dr sattar fixed my back for me. Pushed my wheelchair when other hospital staff watched me hobble.
I thanked him afterwards and said he gave me my left leg back. He said “no god gave you your leg back I am just his tools”.
Came across as a great man. I wish him well with his new venture he had a devastating family tragedy in the uk due to I believe a wrong address getting attacked. I don’t have religion but I hope he finds peace in his.

I grew up near a purpose-built mosque. I don’t know how I survived that unscathed. Oh yeah, because it was not something I ever really noticed or that ever caused me any bother in my day to day life.

Won't happen here. I mean just because it's happened in France, Sweden, Belgium, the United Kingdom, Spain etc etc doesn't mean it will happen here. Everyone loves the Irish. Just good old racism on display... even though you can't be racist against a religion.

The majority of Muslim majority countries would most likely see you as lesser. This video from France is really horrible and closer to home. Absolutely harrowing viewing. Stone age f*cks on show here.

You know some countries have more issues than others, right? Sweden was a much nicer place before they started taking in refugees. Sweden was a much nicer country in the '60s when it was homogeneous:

Rail and air transport are necessary for every country. Muslims and mosques are not.

This mosque is being funded by Saudi Arabia. It shouldn't be allowed.

Hey! Maybe these guys arent so bad after all.

It truly is disturbing how many posters are willing to ignore the potential risks of encouraging a religion that is at odds with the western, liberal and tolerant society we've worked hard to get to in this country - all for the sake of virtue-signalling!

Even if we are to ignore the recent experiences of countries in Europe (or just next door in the UK) where this has happened, you'd think we'd have learned from the effects another oppressive religion had in Ireland, and the potential risk of sectarian violence by its more extreme adherents. Why expose ourselves to that again?

It's really worrying how many younger people are more concerned with their social media profile and online image, than learning from the painful experiences elsewhere.

But again... leaving aside even the risk of violence, segregation and ghettos, and other negative consequences seen elsewhere... What benefit does this move bring to Ireland or our society and people?

Kind of funny to call it liberal and tolerant and then complain that it isn’t banning the muslims
