Here is some from the sun.http://www.thesun.ie/irishsol/homepage/news/4913526/Irish-lad-martyr-in-Syria.htmlHandsome Alaa was one of up to 26 Irish Muslims who are believed to have joined the fight against Bashar al-Assad’s brutal regime since the bloody Syrian uprising broke out in 2011.

ISIS only operates regionally and despite the US invasion of Iraq, they have never launched a terror strike on American interests outside of Iraq. Obama acknowledge the same a few weeks ago. Even so, Al Qaeda has no designs on Ireland probably due to Osama Bin Laden thinking well of the Irish people, due to their solidarity with the Palestinians.http://www.independent.ie/irish-news/osama-bin-laden-was-told-irish-were-ready-for-islam-26849927.html If ISIS did ever decide to strike internationally their priority targets would most likely be UK & USA. Ireland is well off their radar.

They don't integrate and then they hate the west because we don't conform to their standards. They are a danger to Ireland just as much as the UK. If the fighters come back they will radicalize their piers and we will be dealing with a worse form of terrorism than the ira or the loyalists ever carried out on this island Btw did you actually read the link you posted up?

CptMackey wrote: » I don't have it in for all but this brand of Islam is dangerous because they are living in the stone age. Did you read your link? It deals with they wanting to convert us all to Islam. I'm fine without an imaginary friend. Isis are dangerous and should be treated as a major threat due to the fact that fighters who have come from Ireland and the UK will come back and radicalize Muslims here

I don't think such a number simply returning what is unfortunately their "home" is necessarily a big deal. But hey there must be drama in every detail :rolleyes:
