    I love the way you ignored the rest of my point. Random acts of horrible violence occur. All indications are this was. What you are engaging in is fear mongering against one group of people. This is the reality. And yes, I very much believe that xenophobia and racism tends to play into the mentality of many of those who engage in fear mongering. Eg people are rejecting the conclusions of the Gardai because it doesn't suit their prejudices..

    its hardly random, its unlikely he would have done this in his own country so at a minimum its a sectarian/racist attack. A muslim Dylan Roof if you will. also Islam isnt a race

    A belief in gender identity involves a level of faith as there is nothing tangible to prove its existence which, as something divorced from the physical body, is similar to the idea of a soul. - Colette Colfer

    You require both to make the hope a reality. The problem is in this debate the pro multiculturalism folks seem to avoid the realities as much as possible.

    Part of the problem is those "realities" are defined by the extreme cases of terrorist attacks by anti-integration advocates and assumed that they are guaranteed to happen here and all arrivals will be capable of perpetrating them.

    For me it doesn't matter so much the why it doesn't work, but that it doesn't. Yes the lack of welcome is a major factor, the culture clash, basic human tribalism, ghettoisation, economics are all factors. The failure is the bastard child with many fathers and because of that even if you could wave a magic wand and get rid of one or two of these factors the problem would be there.

    You already live in a multicultural society. Count the number of people you meet and interact with on a daily basis who are both from a different nationality and cultural background to you. Have you a problem with the different people who you are already interacting with?

    In the end I see it like this; monocultures, or cultures that are very close in makeup are quite simply more socially stable than multicultures. We have our own internal issues and it beggars belief for me why so many are so willing to import more issues to no real benefit.

    For Humanitarian reasons. That is the only reason I am advocating for this position in this debate. I've said it before. I've just said it again now. I'm starting to assume you just don't want to hear it or don't believe humanitarian reasons are valid. If so, that's your prerogative.

    We are in the rare enough position within Europe in that we have the opportunity to observe other European nations over many decades with their experiences of multiculturalism and where it has led them and we have the opportunity to not go down the same road as them. To follow them into this morass of a failed experiment seems to me beyond idiotic.

    We have observed conflict and trouble with much larger numbers than being discussed here. I could suggest that we look at why they didn't work and you could say it was because of the immigrants refusal to integrate and I could say that they were stigmatised and ostracised and you'd disagree and we'd go around in circles again.

    I am very much a fan of western culture and have no particular wish to see that diluted but I do not understand how someone can look at another human being suffering through war and displacement and say "nah, it might create a problem".

    That's exactly what you're doing, you're claiming terrorism, no matter what.
    I didn't label it terrorism. It makes no difference whether you use that label. I'd call it jihad. There is no evidence that the perpetrators of the Berlin or Nice lorry attacks had any formal connection to IS or Al Quaeda. It is very likely that they were "supporters" though.

    What most of the smaller scale EU knife/machete/hatchet attacks have in common with the Dundalk attack is the perpetrators migrated into the EU illegally, from an islamic country which was not in a state of war at the time, and then found it was possible to just wander round using various aliases, applying for asylum and then moving on whenever the claim was rejected.
    They began to hate Europe and all its liberal values. Jihad as a concept is a personal thing. An individual may choose his own version and act on it, believing that paradise is the ultimate reward for those who die during the act.

    People who feel terrorised may choose to call it terrorism.

    I've talked to a few Hungarians the last while and they are truly greatful to have him.

    As far as I understand it the Gardai have been unable to establish 'anything' apart from the fact that he is 18 and from Egypt - i.e they cannot rule out terrorism either.

    Yes because he so deserves kittens and a safe space to chill incase he might have a sexual emergency. The hangmans noose is what he deserves and is more shame on our country that we allow terrorists like him in here to begin with and the pro-scum legal system will ensure he is out after 8 to 10 years. In a proper society he would be hung from the gallows tonight after the judge slammed his hammer. He won't probably even face trial for at least 2-3 years while parasite lawyers will prolong everything and draw millions in legal aid for him.

    In a proper *19th century* society, maybe.

    Meanwhile, back in the 21st century, barbaric acts like hanging by the neck are long since gone, thank ****.

    Yes in civilised 21st century Europe and properly so, unlike Egypt where this pond life crawled from.

    Those on the left will say sure Irish people commit murder as well, yeah we all know that but the fact remains that if we had a strong border like the Hungarians and Poles have this illegal might not have made it into our country and an innocent person wouldn't be dead.

    The Government have been quietly letting people in over the last 2 years and haven't given any explanation as to what checks are preformed to ensure that they are genuine.

    Yes because because what happened in Dundalk wasn't barbaric at all. All scum and terrorists like this should pay the ultimate penalty, I'd be perfectly fine with giving him an injection of Nembutal and I've watched animals be put to sleep to end their suffering and it is a peaceful a death as you could give an animal. This guy is not even an animal as animals are shown to have empathy. The Death Sentence is what he needs and it should be introduced and used often for all murder and a host of other crimes.

    The gardai still have not been able to establish his nationality


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 466 ✭✭vg88


    "I'm no monster"....?

    Sounds like he said that.

    Funny that, he thinks he's not a monster after killing someone and trying to kill others.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 299 ✭✭SSr0


    "I'm no monster"....?

    "I'm not a muslim" ?

    So all they 'know' is that he is 18. How do they even know that?

    And his name

    Presumably he told them?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 16,132 ✭✭✭✭Spanish Eyes


    How do they know he is 18? No papers presumably. Mohamed is a Muslim name, although there are lots of Muslim countries too.
