    Nope. The NP will do what the people want. So if the NP got into power they would have to be in the majority so then the majority will decide
    But why worry they will never get into power;)

    They won't get into anything unless they register as a party.


    According to you we were going to see a change in the next election. Now you're singing a completely different tune - why?

    I dont get it with you liberals

    You have a guy tell you RCSI has problems so hes a liar
    A guy tells you theres problems with migrant gangs in his town
    If you look at the news crime/rape has gone up in Sweden/Belgium/Germany/France
    UK has case after case of Muslim child grooming gangs, acid attacks
    But just because none of these things happen in front of you, you prefer to name call people who are genuinely concerned not just for our country but the people already living here

    Never said I wanted a Catholic Ireland I could not care less
    Would be better to have none at all but we are importing people who will die for their religion & their are idiots here who will bend over backwards to welcome them. Wait for the first story of a Muslim refusing to serve alcohol or pork products in a supermarket
    If they come & people like yourself tell them to leave their religion at the door then maybe I'll change me mind

    What about the third way any person forcing their religion on others is not ok full stop.

    Most criminal gangs in Ireland are all home grown. Any criminals who have come here as guests legal or illegal should be deported on conviction, which happens every year including EU citizens.

    OK you have convinced me there is nothing wrong with Islam, no sex grooming gangs, no rape so we will welcome them in

    What Christian country has life sentence for being gay and was proposing the death sentence, such legislation being promoted by Christian Churches in the USA.

    http://www.latimes.com/opinion/op-ed/la-oe-kaoma-uganda-gays-american-ministers-20140323-story.html

    "In nations such as Uganda, Russia, Nigeria and Belize, an insidious homophobia engineered in America is taking root. I have seen this hate being spread with my own eyes.

    In March 2009, while in Kampala, Uganda, researching reports of U.S. right-wing evangelical involvement in attacks on LGBTQ equality and reproductive justice, I was invited to a three-day conference on homosexuality hosted by the Family Life Network, which is based in New York."

    When has it worked? Hmm.. Quite a few times actually. We have English people living in Ireland, and French people living in Spain, without causing any problems. But then there is an element of common cultural/moral commonality to ease the transition. We also have the Asian elements who, for the most part, integrate or keep separate but don't cause problems (apart from the crime brought to the US and Oz).

    The clear division is when it comes to Religion and how that religion is treated in the host country. Posters here are commenting on the US with child brides, but then, the US has constitutional laws to protect all religions. That made sense at the time of the "founding fathers", but not in the modern world. Alas we all know that once you give a right or protection to a group of people, you can't remove that right. It's undemocratic, dehumanizing, immoral, whatever.

    We don't have that system in Europe. Yet. Although it's likely to come into being because of the short-sighted 'left'.

    I really don't have an issue with Islam. From travel, I've come to appreciate that you can't really condemn the beliefs of other nations, and their own systems while keeping your own systems that they might find offensive. I've traveled through Muslim countries, and I definitely don't want that kind of culture in Europe. If Muslims want that kind of culture, they can have it in their countries.

    We (Europeans) need to recognize that Islam (in it's current form) is not suitable for Europe, and will continue to cause problems here. Why? Because Islam as a religion is entwined with their culture. The Catholic church has been pushed out of most European society into a very background position, but we seem to have forgotten what it was like, when it did have real influence to shape society. Islam still has that influence over its followers.

    Multiculturalism does not mean we have to accept every aspect of another culture. It means that we provide a platform for integration with the admiration for cultural differences, but not for cultural differences that cause social unrest. Integration is necessary. Integration worked for centuries when other cultures came to Europe because they wanted a different system to their home country, and while they retained their home culture, they didn't expect their own culture to gain prominent powers.

    Europe needs to set serious restrictions on the immigration of Muslims, with a clear instruction given to Muslims so that they know that the host country's culture will remain dominant. They would still gain the same rights and protections that other citizens receive but nothing more than that. IF they can't accept that, then they should be expelled, and sent to a Muslim controlled country... If they can accept it, then they can continue to follow their faith in Europe, although Sharia law would have no power, and the host country's law would be first and foremost. No exceptions.

    This attitude of welcoming in Muslims without restrictions is a copy of the US Founding fathers attitude. It was fine for two hundred years ago, but times have changed. It's naive and dangerous to continue this way of thinking in the modern world.

    the thing is there is no "attitude of welcoming in Muslims without restrictions"

    the restrictions and laws exist in the host country. if the host country refuses to enforce them that's a different story, but the laws are there.

    I'm very highly educated. I know words, i have the best words, nobody has better words then me.

    Again as with Muslims, what they do in their own countries is up to them. I have an issue with them if they want to bring it to Ireland

    But are you willing to just take a chance with our politicians not bending over backwards like labour have in the UK just so they get the Muslim vote?
    Do you think its OK that animals are slaughtered in Ireland for Halaal?
    Especially when you hear there are already radicalised Muslims living in Ireland, members of the Muslim brotherhood, who have ties to terrorist groups

    How were priests doing it for God? You do realise it is in the Islamic scriptures to take child brides. There are Imams telling their followers its Gods will for them to do it
    I guess when you're a liberal its hard to see the difference

    where in the Islamic scriptures does it say it's okay to take child brides. maybe it does but even then i'd bet such nonsense is in other religious texts from other religions as well. seeing no difference between 1 group of people believing in child marriage and another group believing in child marriage is nothing to do with being liberal, it's simply to do with the subject matter being something you disagree with full stop, rather then on the basis of the religion those people subscribe to. child marriage is wrong, end of discussion, i don't care whether those taking part in it are muslim or christian. it sounds to me however, that you are more concerned with muslims taking part in such a sickening act then people who follow other religions.

    So the Government is finding houses for the refugees but couldn't find them for the homeless



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 29,256 ✭✭✭✭_Kaiser_


    It's really very simple...

    - Come here, integrate, contribute positively, and work to support yourself by providing needed skills.. welcome!

    - Come here expecting hand-outs, special treatment, or the locals to adapt to your particular beliefs or culture.. go home or find somewhere more to your liking.

    We have neither the resources, nor the obligation to indefinitely support thousands of unskilled migrants with incompatible belief systems who represent nothing but a further drain on our already stretched economy/society.

    Besides, after the damage done to this country by Catholicism (and I don't just mean pedophile priests, but also the holding back of the country's social development in general.. the effects of which are still with us today), you'd think we'd be a bit more wary about allowing fervent believers in a ideology that has no place in a modern, liberal Western society to establish that same ideology here.

    the thing is there is no "attitude of welcoming in Muslims without restrictions"

    Actually, Muslims are treated exactly the same as any other immigrant. Religion is not taken into consideration during the process. Fact is, very few cultural differences are taken into account. To act otherwise is grounds for discrimination.

    I'm of a mind that some forms of what is considered 'discrimination' can be positive. Like immigration policies that require applicants to be educated and skilled in an area that the host country is lacking in.
    the restrictions and laws exist in the host country. if the host country refuses to enforce them that's a different story, but the laws are there.

    Not what I stated.

    Well theres Nigerian gangs in Limerick. As the another poster said his town has problems with migrant gangs. 2 young fellas beaten up by a gang of black youths last week

    But you are a member of a party that wants a "catholic ireland". Please explain

    Well there not going to force people to go to mass now are they? But seriously I have heard JB on it & he said its not important whether its Catholic or not
    .

    Look believe what you want but either ways letting in migrants & their extended family & giving them houses before the homeless ( which a lot are migrants as well ) is the wrong thing to do

    and rightly so. religious discrimination has no place, it gets nobody anywhere.
    I'm of a mind that some forms of what is considered 'discrimination' can be positive. Like immigration policies that require applicants to be educated and skilled in an area that the host country is lacking in.

    discrimination is never positive as it can't be. otherwise it wouldn't be classed as discrimination and protected by law.
    ireland already expects those immigrating here to have a skill that the country is lacking in, it's not classed as discrimination because it's not.
    there is a difference between immigration, and the various refugee programs.

    Even ignoring the poll here, I just cant fathom that the people of Ireland want this to happen.

    So why is it happening?

    everything is ultimately put to a referendum. at election time. if people don't read the political parties manifesto that is their issue.
