Being Irish there are certain cultural and being catholic religious aspects that are part of how i was raised. I live in Ireland and naturally these aspects are the norm here but.. If i were to up and relocate to Islamabad or Aleppo or any Muslim dominant country I do not expect them to change the name of Ramadan in case it upsets me the way Cadburys changed the name Easter Eggs to Chocolate Eggs. Nor do I expect the schools to display the school name in Irish the way many schools in England have the arabic variation of the school name displayed. I dont expect the local restaurant to serve ham and cabbage the way some expect all places here to be halal. i certainly wouldnt expect a catholic church to be erected in the middle of the muslim country either and Im sure id be told to f*ck off back to Ireland quick enough if i tried. There are muslim people coming here expecting us to change how Ireland or -insert name of EU country here- live and exist just so they dont get offended and whats worse is this is supported and accepted by those in Government. Yes we should be accepting and tolerant but not to the extent that is currently happening. And just for good measure they are using these attacks and the fear factor to ensure these changes happen. People thinking well if we do all this stuff and make everything muslim friendly they wont attack us . Im just tired of it all..

All the big countries have been attacked including France, Germany, The UK, Spain and even some smaller countries like Belgium and Sweden but Italy has not been attacked is this just a conquincidence or is that Italian intelligence is very good or do terrorists have a particular motive for not attacking Italy.

It's a billion dollar industry after all, so maybe who knows, perhaps they're exempt for their kindly assistance as they go on their journey towards NW Europe. Bear in mind their ultimate end game aim, is said to be the total destruction of Rome and all that it stands for, so maybe it's just a temporary plaster.

The EU political class could not be more removed from the lives and concerns of EU citizens. People think Trump is mad and that the people who support him are mad, I'll tell you one thing, it's "America First", and none of this wholesale bullsh*t we have been served up for the last 20 years that forces policies on EU countries that drive down living standards, that drives down the price of labour, that makes housing less accessible, makes healthcare less accessible, because we have too many people chasing access to what are fairly limited resources and nowhere on earth is this probably more clear than here in Ireland where we have a massive housing crisis and a healthcare crisis, no thanks to policies of completely uncontrolled migration into this country...

They are perpetually offended, they want any religious symbols not in accordance with their own, to be removed, as this "deeply offends" them. They want "Christmas" rebranded, to be known and referred to only in secular terms because the word "Christmas" offends them and the same goes for Easter. You try going to any Muslim majority country and telling a Muslim that they can't call "Ramadan" Ramadan, because it offends you, and see how you get on with that.

No, I'm not nor haven't been involved in that struggle. Didn't stop profiling a young Irish guy. Didn't really bother me either... their country, their rules.

One might be lead to think that people rushing to explain the actions of the bombers through reference to such things are just making up nonsense for their own sake rather than facing a rather unpleasant reality.
