    Minister O'Cuiv at the foundation laying ceremony for an organisation founded by a Paedophile, disrespects women and actively encourages the killing of Western christians. Jeez another new low for Fianna Failure.

    Why bother even asking such a pedantic question? You know well where he means, even if his point is irrelevant to the thread.

    Are you allowed build christian churches in muslim countrys?

    Yup, except for the extreme ones AFAIK. My uncle-in-law is from Syria, he's a Muslim yet went to a Christian school there.

    All Muslims aren't gun totting Arabs who hate the West, and to think even a noticeable percentage of them are is ridiculous. Plus, if you don't agree with the actions of a country / group, then why mirror them here? Then you're just as bad as them.

    There lies the difference, maybe that will lead to a more tolerant world...and that will be a prime example.

    Did you know that "rabble, rabble, rabble", translated into Muslim, is "burka, burka, burka"?

    Do you understand the word "rhetorical"?(BTW, this is a rhetorical question, so no need to answer;))

    Anyone who could come out with something as utterly moronic as "their country" in relation to a religion instead of a nationality could mean anything, so no, I didn't know what he meant.

    Ah come on - if it wasn't for the Nazis, we wouldn't have had all those great war movies, like The Dirty Dozen, The Longest Day & The Great Escape.

    We have a lot to thank them for.

    Yeah, and as you commented in an earlier post, in some of these countries a Christian church may be burnt down; i don't know of any examples but i'm sure there are some.
    You'd a agree that this is a bad thing and undesirable?
    If so, why ask why we shouldn't act the same in this country?
    Surely, we don't want to be like the worst extremists in those countries.
    If you have such distaste for these people, why would you want to emulate them?

    Are all the Muslims in Galway from Iran? Is that their country?

    I think they'd like you more Jugger. Your attitude to things you oppose would meld very well with the Iranian authority's, I believe.

    We should tolerate anything that does not break the law of the land; and be glad that we live a country that allows freedom of belief.

    Just seems a bit weak to be honest, why should we be the ones to change? Europe has no backbone, look at denmark, told whats acceptable in their own country by foreigners and threatened with violence if they disagree.

    St Josephs Abu Dhabi wrote:
    The parish today has over 100,000 expatriate Catholics from all over the world. With the growing economy within the region, the Church has also witnessed a steady increase in the number of faithful. Masses are celebrated in several different languages and the Church is generally seen packed to full capacity at most services.
