    here it is


    muslim pupils withdrawn from music lessons

    .

    Nothing to do with Ramadan. As it stands, there is a school of thought within Islam that does say that music is unislamic. I fail to see the problem, however.

    40000!? That's 1600% the size of St. Patrick's Cathedral. Not against the construction of places of worship, but surely you've got to question the motive behind the size of the project.

    Its not just a mosque, if you'd care to read the article.

    First warning. You can either deal with a poster's arguments, or not. Ad hominem arguments of this kind are not acceptable and will be penalised.

    Did you read the article? Children are withdrawn from the class, like the note exempting children from swimming or PE....

    again , nobody is talking about just the dangerous aspect alone , there are other aspects to Islamic culture that as I've shown in my linked articles are causing problems within the UK society.

    Let me tell you there is a hell of a lot more problems caused in UK society by white British youth.

    Stop being so devisive, people are people, can't you just take people as you find them instead of basing all your views on what you read in the media? Please tell us about the Muslims you know in real life?

    Completely wrong.

    As it happens - yes.

    I'm not saying there are not good muslim people , there are , but all in all their way of life and culture is so different to ours that it poses problems , problems which the media have a duty to highlight and which should not be dismissed as unimportant .

    Yes, but to many people here it is us who should be tolerant, accepting and willing to change. Not them! Forget asking them to maybe embarce our traditions or culture, or god forbid, to even abide by our legal laws.

    I think you missed my question. Can you tell us about the Muslim people you know personally. Are they nice people? How do they treat you?

    yes , I went to college with a Pakistani and he was a nice man , but there are lots of nice people in the world , thats not the issue , the issue is the impact of Islam and shariah on society , and as I've pointed through various links to the UK model , there are many difficulties , difficulties which cannot be brushed off or dismissed .

    Also , who are the people funding the Mosque , what are their backgrounds , do we know anything at all about them . Also with the unemployment rate expected to reach 15.5% next year and no money in the Kitty , is it wise encouraging more immigration .

    Still waiting for you to answer my question as to whether you have ever actually lived in the UK.

    As for your linked sources - the only links I can find are to tabloid newspapers.

    Given that the Levinson inquiry has done a sterling job of showing that what one reads in a tabloid is not necessarily a 'fact' could you perhaps provide a link to something other than a tabloid newspaper?
    You could start with that one to the stats you quoted I asked you for about an hour ago?

    Why don't you then base your views on the people you know, rather than being a parrot and just repeating what other people tell you?

    There is no impact and it is extremely unlikely there will ever be any impact on Irish society. You are scaremongering and creating divisions.

    Who cares? What has that got to do with anything? Since when was your background a factor in planning permission?

    With 30,000+ Muslims already here I assume it is to cater for them. The existing mosques are too small and people have to pray outside on the street.

    Why would a mosque encourage immigration?

    Theres also Jewish religous courts. Both are a bad idea. Neither can counter established law though.

    You still haven't explained the link between the mosque and immigration.

    These courts are optional, people don't have to go to them. They can choose to go to a standard UK family court. It is like the way the FA can charge a player, fine them, etc. It doesn't replace or supersede UK Law.

    well obviously if you set up the facilities - schools , mosques , housing , communities etc , it is bound to be an attractive destination as opposed to somewhere that does not have any of these.

    but then they are outcast and branded as "westerners" by their community. Also many are afraid to seek the help of the state .

    Again, they have had these sort of courts in the UK for over a 100 years with the Beth Din, a I pointed out earlier. Again, why you single out Muslims for this is bizarre, and I fail to see the relevance to here, as the UK has allowed this kind of thing for ages. As much as people like you want to pretend that this kind of thing is soley the province of Muslims, the fact remains is that the UK has allowed such courts for a century.

    Either way, the building of a Mosque and community center in North Dublin has nothing to do with a system that has existed in the UK for at least a century.

    Given your reluctance to answer my question I assume you have never lived in the UK so really have no idea how UK society functions -or doesn't- and all your arguments are based on what it says in the newspapers. Would this be correct?

    Sharia Councils have no impact on Civil Laws - in exactly the same way as Canon Law has no impact on our Civil Laws but this did not prevent the RCC from giving it precedence when it came to clerical child abusers.

    You do know that other religious groups, such as the Hasidim, have similar Councils - should we also object to Jews?

    Lastly - these Councils the are not Courts of Law as you imply - the Civil Law of the State will always take precedence and only the State can administer justice that is legally binding.

    I can't really imagine a bunch of lads in Saudi thinking "Hey, they just build a new big mosque in Dublin, let's move there".

    of course it does , sharia will be practiced here just like it is in the UK , causing much conflict with domestic law.

    Please explain to me why on earth Muslims would leave predominately Muslim countries (where, presumably, there are lots of mosques) and head to Ireland on the basis that someone is building another mosque here? Clongriffen isn't that special.

    There is no conflict - Civil Law always takes precedence.

    Why are you singling out Muslims btw - it has been shown to you that Jews have exactly the same sort of Councils - do these not cause conflict with domestic law?
