What are your views on Multiculturalism in Ireland? - Threadbanned User List in OP

RyanthePirate

I would like to see a Boards.ie Consensus.

Economists agree that immigration has a net positive on the economy and this immigration is surely a wonderful thing for the county.

Agree/Disagree?

What a terrible man *clutches purse*

Sakiewicz tells me people should be able to have sex with whoever they choose and boasts that in some respects, Poland is progressive. It decriminalised homosexuality in 1932, decades before most European countries.

But he is against what he describes as "aggressive ideology promoting homosexuality". The struggle for gay rights is a foreign concept imported from the US and Western Europe, he adds, and it threatens the traditional heterosexual Polish family.

Now in his 50s, Sakiewicz grew up in a Poland controlled by the Soviet Union when the government told people how to think, rejected Church influence and tolerated no dissent. Bizarrely, he now accuses LGBT campaigners of behaving in the same way.

"Communists used to wave the red flag and told people they were fighting for the poor, for the workers, for the peasants," he says. "Now these activists hold up the rainbow flag and say they are fighting for sexual minorities. It was not true and it is not true. And since we lived through communist times we have a duty to tell others how dangerous such ideas can be."

All this talk of Western Culture, when what people really mean is White Culture!

Oh god it's not, you may interpret one thing as another but they are not equivalent

If they were then, here I'll use an egregious example.

White supremacist culture could accuse you of racism if you levied any criticism at them.

Rapists could advocate for rape culture to be thought in schools in equivalency to black culture.

Patriotic Alternative? an extreme racist white Nationalist group. Its leader isnt exactly pro LGBT rights either. Mad isnt. People here continuously saying they are not racist and they are in favour of LGBT rights but then promoting extreme bigoted racists and homophobes.

Collett, for example, has referred in the past to homosexuals as ‘AIDS monkeys’, declared his admiration for Adolf Hitler and called asylum seekers ‘cockroaches.’

The same government allowing landlords to own hundreds of properties , the biggest owns 2500 apartments in Dublin .... Disgraceful

https://www.irishexaminer.com/news/arid-30897316.html

Revenue figures show there are around 3,000 individuals and companies which own over 10 houses or apartments, including 1,000 who own more than 100 properties each.

Landlords with largescale investment property portfolios consisting of over 200 properties are relatively few (Revenue do not provide an exact figure) but the number of properties they own grew by almost 10% in 2018.

Such landlords, which would include real estate investment trusts known as REITs, now own 31,200 housing units compared to 28,600 in 2017. IRES REIT is Ireland’s biggest residential landlord and owns more than 2,500 apartments in Dublin with annual rental income of €36m in 2017.

Some countries don't allow foreigners to buy houses let alone buying multiple properties .

My post was specifically about people from a specific foreign culture, in reply to your post about people from a specific foreign culture. Stick to the topic please. Except you cannot.

The majority of LGBT people in Poland/Hungary are indigenous, and their treatment has absolutely nothing to do with multiculturalism. I’m sure there is an LGBT thread if you wish to discuss that there. We are here however to talk about multiculturalism as per the thread title. So do you want to try again??

Seeing as all the posters in this thread love a good question and are so happy to answer questions let's throw another onto the thread and see who wants to answer.

What are the positives of Irish culture?

No lazy culture answers please, no claiming music arts or sport etc. We don't really have a history of cuisine so I shouldn't need to say that but let's add it the banned list of positives anyway.

Chicken fillet rolls, spice bags, coddle. Our great sense of humour, our red hair is very exotic to foreigners. Some of the greatest writers, poets, playwrights, actors given to the world. Our tradition of story telling. The craic.

No!

IF a large number of people from a specific foreign culture (Muslim)
IF move to another country (Belgium)
IF and don't integrate
THEN they are going to create ghettos (Moulenbeek)
THEN subcultures that clash with the nation's culture. (Bataclan suspect able to walk around freely despite being on every news channel in Europe)

It's a giant big fallacy of a post!

Not in my experience, or at least it varies by quite a bit. Just going on those Muslims I've known(all men, mostly in Ireland, all clued in, mostly qualified in something guys), I can think of only one that would be on the "kill the enemies of Islam" end of things and his mates would tend to throw their eyes up to heaven when he came out with that stuff. His ire was very much focused too, mostly on US foreign policy, but a broader WTF with western interference in the ME. He was the most educated of the lot too.

Maybe. Most of the Muslims that I would have included in my majority statement were those from the M.East, whereas, I've found that Asian/African Muslims don't have much of those sentiments. Still, It really comes down to what I said earlier in the thread. Individually, most Muslims are lovely, but when a group forms, a certain conformity of thinking and attitudes comes into play. At least, in my experience it's like that.

The community is a huge thing alright, but I always got the impression it was as much if not more about origin country and its form of Islam than Islam itself and a feature of diasporas everywhere.

True enough.

Most of all they kinda reminded me of general views towards subjects like homosexuality, religion and women that would have fitted into 1950's Catholic Ireland. Minus the beer.

Their support for Islamic freedom fighters depended on which group, where and how they went about things. Mowing down civillians was seen as well out of order.

What percentage of Muslims do you think are like this? I know this question has been asked before and completely dodged and I don't expect to get a direct answer in terms of a percentage but I thought I'd ask anyway.

Better question, what percentage of Islamic societies are like this?

It's no good saying the majority of Muslims are grand when they inevitabily create societies where this is the norm.

This kind of question has been raised numerous times on the thread, and various posters have committed themselves to answering it.

The problem is that posters like yourself won't accept any opinions given in response to it, and will instead, cry "stop generalising", "what about the individuals?", etc. So.. no, it wasn't dodged, although, TBF, it's a question that's realistically impossible to answer... but that's the point, in asking such a loaded question, isn't it?

For myself, I would say that the majority of Muslim males from the age of 13 to 99, would have opinions to match those in the image. I doubt they're all out protesting in public though, but I would imagine there's quite a network of such sentiment floating around online somewhere. Islam is a very community driven religion, and peer pressure along with religious conditioning would ensure that most would agree with such sentiments.

And what is an acceptable amount of this thinking to allow in ?

It's a bit shocking to see in a European country. They don't come across the type to integrate . That's why in England they live in their own communities where they've their own mosques , schools and shops it's like they hadn't left Pakistan . Multiculturalism ...lol

What is interesting about this photo is that you can clearly see where someone has cleared the I from Islam in 2 locations. First the front right, look where the guys fingers are and you`ll see the faded top part of the I, then the sign 'massacre those" etc. There is a white rectangle feature where the I would have been. So someone went and literally drew a white line over the I
