    Careful now Vlad, you've less posts than me, expect Jamie's guillotine to come down on you.

    It's very funny how all the islamophobes have an abnormal interest in this topic :pac:

    You have a very odd reaction to people who are genuinely interested in this whole Halawa fiasco

    I'd agree in a way. Just close threads and the media ignore him. The quicker this happens the quicker this fool goes away and we don't have to hear any more about him and his family's bull****.

    You'd need to be calling the interviewer for the explanation, he is the one that seemed very interested in Halawa's opinion on same sex marriage after all.

    Their phone number is 1850 104 106, and he is back on at 9am Monday morning. Be sure to give a heads up in here first though, because you're not the first poster on the thread confused about him bringing up gay marriage.

    I actually thought he came across quite well. In a way it was good to hear some difficult questions, but I definitely feel that prenderville was getting to the point of trying his hardest to offend.

    Ibrahim seems to believe what the majority of Irish people would believe in 2017 - ie people can do what they want and live their lives as they want, it's none of his or our business. I didn't hear anything that indicated otherwise.

    The lad has been through quite an ordeal since the age of 17, and considering our own proud history of standing up to oppressive regimes I don't really get the disdain for what he did.

    IH's views are important , he claims to be irish. The effort put into getting him home was huge. All this for somebody who supports a regime that is totally opposed to what Irish society is and stands for.
    Of course he should be quizzed on his view and supports...some of those beliefs, if implemented , would destroy Irish society.

    Also many things were said about his imprisonment the cruelity the hunger strikes etc...
    The fella does look in great nick ...even a little too well fed....was irish society sold a crock of **** to pull on the heart strings...??? I think so.

    I find it quite funny that IH's supporters claim the Egyptian Judaical system is corrupt , unfair and biased...and then on the other hand proclaim that he was found innocent by the same corrupt , unfair and unbiased system as proof of his innocence...which is it lads?

    Finally (I said this in another thread) and I haven't heard an answer even though we all know the answer...

    I see no campaign for any irish locked up without trial in spain media , media whores, leftie liberals , professional commentator on the journal.ie .... none of them on the march for any prisoner bar our dear friend Halawi ....why is that?

    The same people in the media or making comments in support of this guy hasn't lifted a finger to type support in favour of any other irish locked up on remand abroad...why is that??

    https://www.boards.ie/vbulletin/showpost.php?p=105038634&postcount=1602

    The reason is that he is a progressive leftie wet dream , immigrant background but new irish ,oppressed muslim and a great cause to allow cries of "racism , racism".....

    While the same do gooders ignore Irish held on remand abroad in similar circumstances.

    So why was the interviewer correct to bring it up? If he were against SSM as are 38% of the Irish electorate, what would relevance would that have?

    It is, but to be fair that also has about as much relevance as the young man's opinion on two men or two women getting married.

    So you may actually be right, come to think of it (still letting the coffee sink in)! :p

    If that was the worst thing some adherents to sharia law ever did on a commercial flight we’d all be better off right now.

    What has that got to do with anything?please explain what the benefit of bringing that up is?he's an intviewer and he interviewed.he justified his question and gave context to them.as a cork man i hated prendeville for years as he was on the airwaves here constantly rising people but he's redeemed himself as an interviewer and journalist in my eyes.he asked the awkward questions and followed up with more questions when given nonesense answers.out of all the national broadcasters he's the only one that done this and he's to be commended for it. We will have serious problems in this country if topics become taboo and can't question them.

    Neil has done a lot for the people of Cork over the years and long may he continue.

    " You support the Muslim Brotherhood. You believe in the subjugation of women and the killing of apostates. You lied constantly about everything and expected Ireland to bail you out. Your sisters want to bring in unchecked men and are suing us for this. Your father heads a mosque with questions that need to be asked about terrorism links. Do you have anything to say?"

    "You got your lad out on a plane"

    "Excellent point. Ladies and Gentlemen Ibrahim Halawa. Good afternoon."

    I personally can't stand him and I say that as someone who met him, but I think he played a blinder in that interview and credit where credit is due.

    Before his infamous deed he slated many a Cork person who was down on their luck, i know of a few he hammered over the years.

    Ever since he isn't as damning about people and their misfortune.

    The interview with Halawa was excellent though, i watched it, the sister thinks she is some sort of bodyguard though as Prendeville did rightly mention he wasn't expecting her.

    What is the full story with the UCC on Monday?

    No. We should completely discredit him first. It will discourage others like him and let them know the Irish aren't all bleeding hearts.

    Well the left used to have a certain homogeneous nature about it: labour rights and socialism.

    You'd have to wonder what Big Jim and Connolly would think of what has now become of their movement.

    Portrayal of these would-be fascist types as the 'downtrodden' and zero hour contracts operating quietly all the while in the background for lower skilled workers. Not media sexy though with no whiff of ISIS or Al Qaeda, so nobody cares. The Left indeed.

    The Left has nothing to gain from the mass importation of people with an ideology that seeks to undo the progress achieved in our society over the last 100 years: women in education and workforce, sexual freedom, freedom from theocracy, freedom in artistic expression.

    Those seeking cheap workers however...

    Yet its still the Left championing for Open Border and unlimited and unchecked immigration. :rolleyes:

    Where is your evidence that he supports IS and was wearing an "IS headband"?
