    A group of lads outside the GPO on easter weekend advertising Islam. Not really concerned about the holy weekend thing but for some reason it seems really ****ing insulting. [/rant]

    They are always there in fairness.

    Seen them a few times now.

    I'm more pissed off about the crowds the let gather at the Henry St junction.

    Tossers.

    Which GPO?

    Which sect of Islam?

    You need some R&R.

    Were you actually pissed off at people preaching their religion? Probably non-radicals.

    I always thought "Advertising" a religion was very very strange!

    "this section of the show is brought to you by Islam: Praise Allah"

    As a devout Christian with fundamentalist leanings I find it deeply offensive that such things should happen on our Holy Day. I wonder is it's possible to invoke our shiny new blasphemy law? If Catholics did that in Saudi Arabia or Iran there would be an immediate call for Jihad, so we should now call for Crusade. Where are the Knights Templar when we need 'em?:D

    I'm not sure you understand the Blasphemy Law

    Saw them one day, when the Army had parked one of their light tanks in the centre of the street, doing a fund raiser. Little kid walked up to the soldier holding the bucket and asked:

    "Why isn't the gun pointed at the terrorists?"

    It made my day.

    Surely the right to assembly outside the GPO is the most sacred thing we (Irish) hold???

    Converting over to Islam? Because of some random people outside on the street "advertising"?

    Doubt that.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 9,533 ✭✭✭SV

    even though he mentioned he's not really bothered about it?

    As much as I dislike it, Ireland is a catholic country, probably why he mentioned it.
    I'd much rather it be a catholic country than fúcking islamic though.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 19,646 ✭✭✭✭MrStuffins


    Anyway, don't you "Revert" to Islam?

    The GPO isn't a religious building, if it was outside the Pro. Catherdeal maybe, but Catholics don't own this country

    I'm more pissed at the fact of anyone advertising in front of the GPO on this weekend. 94th annivesary and all coming.

    When they finish off Tom Hanks and Dan Browne, they'll be ready to carry out their scorched-earth policy in the Middle-East.

    Was that the Catholic Rising? Funny, my history books must have mislead me...


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 5,783 ✭✭✭Hank_Jones


    Seriously, who gives a fcuk?

    They aren't doing anyone any harm.

    And anyway, if they were white, Irish and supporting Catholicism, you wouldn't have payed them a blind bit of notice.

    You'd think that.

    I do find it strange that somebody who doesn't care that it is holy week would actually care about this though.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 3,971 ✭✭✭we'llallhavetea_old


    i don't really understand why this is insulting :confused:


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,013 ✭✭✭Scarydoll


    i don't really understand why this is insulting :confused:

    I don't either. Who really cares? It's all the same to me.
