    All articles refer to the same thing. Some arseholes (and theres a tiny number of them) who follow Anjem Choudray around put up stickers. That, you might be suprised to note, is not a "sharia" zone. Thats stickers up on a wall.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 44,079 ✭✭✭✭Micky Dolenz


    I'd love to know how long those stickers were left up before being torn down or defaced.

    A bunch of fringe nutters declare these zones rather than it being actual law. More scaremongering nonsense from yourself :rolleyes:

    Sure wouldn't you appreciate that kinda thing back home, seeing as you're terrified of the lawlessness nature of Dublin's Northside? :D

    I live in London, as do many other posters on boards - we're doing alright - I lived opposite a mosque for 7 years and lived to tell the tale!

    No doubt we'll be told the 'PC brigade' were up in arms about this happening.

    Its all very well joking about it and downplaying its significance but it does have a rather large anti social element to it..

    Your irresponsible scaremongering? I agree.

    What does? Pretending that the UK has 'gay-free, drink-free, and Sharia only' zones?

    Its significance is being downplayed because it is not significant. It's not like they're chopping off limbs in the middle of Trafalgar Square with the police standing around watching.


  • Banned (with Prison Access) Posts: 2,827 ✭✭✭christmas2012


    my question frank is do you realise they do things to each other in those communities my question is why should we not care,and intervene in this,there were young girls with their lives ahead of them MURDERED by their fathers for entertaining going out with another boy from another area/background..

    I guess we've moved on from the 'zones' thing then?

    I never said 'we' shouldn't intervene if there is abuse going on anywhere - this has nothing to do with your assertion that there are Shari'a only zones in London. Also, 'honour' killings are not confined to Muslim communities.

    ...we've had people killed up the north for the same reason. In every community, theres a few arseholes, bigots and the like. Its no excuse for fucking hysteria.

    8: Sham marriage
    BETWEEN 10 and 15 per cent of the civil ceremonies conducted across the country may be “sham marriages” aimed purely at circumventing immigration rules, one of the country’s main marriage registrars has warned. Dennis Prior, superintendent registrar for the Health Service Executive eastern registration area, said the increase in suspected bogus marriages, which is now estimated at several hundred per year, was “disheartening and demoralising” for registrars

    9: Legal costs.
    57% of judicial reviews in the High Court were 'asylum-related' in 2009 ie 749 of 1312.
    Courts Service of Ireland 2009 report
    23% (8.3m) of the State's funding to legal aid (€34,640,000) in 2009 was to represent asylum seekers through the Refugee Legal Service.
    The costs of the State's legal defence to these actions, is extra but hidden in somebody else's budget. It is not clear if the costs of the Refugee Documentation Centre come out of the 8.3m.

    Education

    Language posts cut 'will hit integration' - Latest News, Education - Independent.ie

    14: OECD Education ratings decline
    Ireland has dropped in OECD Education rankings I believe immigration is a factor in this
    how big a factor is debatable.
    Ireland has slipped from 5th place in 2000 to 17th place,
    the sharpest decline among 39 countries surveyed.
    In maths, Ireland has fallen from 16th to 26th place, the second steepest decline among participating countries. Ireland is now ranked as below average in maths.
    Yesterday, the Department said the increase in migrant children, the greater inclusion of children with special needs and fewer early school leavers could explain the decline in literacy and maths standards.
    Ireland drops in literacy rankings - The Irish Times - Tue, Dec 07, 2010
    Annual Monitoring Report on Integration 2010
    From Table 3.4 we see that scores of non-English speaking immigrants scored ,
    59 points lower in reading than Irish students
    35 points lower in mathematics than Irish students

    Miscellaneous


    15: Professional immigration industry “NGOs”
    The immigration industry in Ireland contains a total of 189 organisations (2007)
    These groups dominate the media debate or what passes for debate , there is no opposing voice.
    Their press statements are reprinted as facts in newspapers.
    Some of the biggest are
    ICI, II , NCCRI, IRC, MRCI, NASC, RIS,
    Its would be a very hard task to calculate just how much taxpayers money is taken by these groups. It is estimated that One Foundation and Atlantic Philanthropies account for a major proportion of funding provided to many of these groups.
    Taxpayer money can be funnelled into these groups
    both through direct and indirect means for example Development Education Grants
    Pobal, National Action Plan Against Racism, Office of the Minister for Integration
    European grants, FAS, HSE and Lottery grants.
    These groups funded partly by us now represent a powerful lobby group.

    16: Irish naturalisation & immigration service
    59,291,000 euro's 2010

    More people get murdered over here after a fight in the pub. Talking about actively discussing matters, you seem to have cooled off with your sharia law bobbins. What's up, Taleban got your tongue?

    They're rare. Very rare. Thats not downplaying anything, thats a fact. You throwing your hands in the air and turning it into yet another hysterical "what are we gonna doooooooo?" bit of nonsense is the kind of scaremongering that creates social division.

    In fairness man, a lot of Christmas2012's posts tend to be hysterical.

    No it's not. Or yes - maybe in your notional gay-free zones it is - who knows what the dynamic is there.

    That's some interesting logic; you've never heard of it happening in Catholic communities therefore it's a 'Muslim thing'.
    Anyway, some examples:
