    What, English people !?

    You do realise some four million English are Catholic right?

    Stop trying to derail the thread just because you don't like the English.

    I'm talking about modern Irish generations. Did you choose not to read that?

    That's just a general attitude the new breed of 'Irish' people have. Anything that used to be done MUST be changed simply because it used to be done.
    That's not for this thread though, just that the attitude to Catholicism is just another element of it.

    Aren't you a protestant Briton anyway? I can't see why you're interested in hate crimes in Tipperary. Are you looking for ideas or something?

    I was raised a catholic, nice try though :rolleyes:

    Amazing how so many who are against halal products can't explain why or how it affects their everyday life.

    The halal products are causing statues to be beheaded?

    More than likely stupid drunken petty vandalism, yet here we are with people jumping on the "OMG de Muslims" bandwagon.

    I used to think you were a decent poster and quite intellectual.

    If you don't respect your own religion that is not a hate crime its a disconnect in your own community.

    Yes and some other nonsense about selling us back to the British.

    The modern Irish generation are to be applauded.

    You then made a point about referencing an English poster here and also made an assumptive glib point about his/her being Protestant, as if that matters.

    You don't like the Brits we get it.

    Is there a mod sneak deleting posts if you mention a muslim? Keep your thread if that's the case. That's horrendous and proves the point I made to a tee (that you deleted but the quote remains).

    I'd imagine its more to do with the poster than the post.

    I know someone who changed his name from an islamic name to a western name because of such abuse.

    His family are not religious but its common to still give such names.

    Also people who say inshallah etc ...they are not extremists but assumed to be so...its just a nice thing to say a pleasantry in arabic.

    There are crazy assumptions.

    And yes obviously its a disrespectful thing to do to a statue.


    But it wasn't a religious bigotry that drove it.

    And no catholics should not be fair game.

    If you have evidence a Muslim was complicit in this crime then post your evidence.

    Otherwise i could claim it was aliens from mars, it would have as much standing as yours or anyone elses ridiculous claims.

    But you are right. Drunken idiots probably.

    The people who give catholics the hardest time are other catholics....or protestants

    They only took the head though. If they'd thrown paint over it and taken the head I'd say it was a hate crime, but as it is, I'd say its just drunken eejitery.

    When the cross on the summit of Carrauntoohil was cut down was it a hate crime. It was never described as such at the time but in hindsight?

    Remember there was a parade in some non descript one horse bogger town, with a float mocking the lidl getting wrecked in Tallaght? And then another one the following year mocking the ATM robberies?

    Guess whose head will be front and centre at the Dublin City parade next year. :pac:

    I just seen on reddit there apparently another statue was beheaded in mayo last night. Not as clean looking of a job done as on the other statue.

    I've not seen anything to say this was an act of vandalism yet, it may of just fell off :)

    I've no time for religion either but I dont know why anyone would feel the need to destroy statues.

    I hope they get the help they need.
