The new Mosque in Galway City

odnauq · 24-09-2010 09:25PM #1

The foundation stone for the first Muslim mosque in Co Galway was laid last Friday by the head of the worldwide Ahmadiyya Muslim Association.
His Holiness Hadhrat Mirza Masroor Ahmad, Khalifatul Masih V performed the ceremony at Ballybrit.
He said he hoped the opening of the mosque would help contribute to interfaith dialogue and understanding and would foster a sense of peace, harmony and tolerance in our societies.

Is there a thread with an update on this topic?

Money says the jips out in Ballybrit will claim it as their own and turn it into a halting site!

It's a f*cking disgrace building a mosque in Galway. It's too close to Ground Zero. Those Arab bastards are really taking the piss with this.

A rolling boulder gathers no mosque.

Well if they need a mosque they should have a mosque..Muslims are deeply religious people.

Considering Irish people generally don't respect "deeply religious people" when they happen to be Catholic, I see no reason for them extending respect to "deeply religious people" who happen not to be Catholic.

Its about letting them have aplace to pray..what of it?
Any muslims i know observe Ramadan,do thier daily praying and all the rest of it.

In my experience,mass-going catholics are the biggest hypocrites on earth.

Are you allowed build christian churches in muslim countrys?

galwayrush · 24-09-2010 10:16PM

The Ahmadiyya Muslims are apparently often persecuted by other Muslim sects for want of a better word.

There we go again. "In my experience" are, obviously, the key words in that sentence. Maybe you should stop romanticizing any religious group but Catholics? That's just prejudice.

Is that when i'm being "racist" only to white people?

As long as they don't use my tax money to help build or run it I don't care. Keep out of my face and what about. It will probably create jobs for a few builders

Most probably they are entitled to some of your tax money - considering that Catholic and Protestant schools are entitled to it.

They get tax breaks because it's a religion. If they actually get funding from my taxes then by criminy I'm against it!
