They are already living in the past…

It wouldn’t be fair to the dinosaurs

Well said Eugene
I believe religion causes so much war , and I reckon Sharia law is making itself felt more and more .

@Eileen

Religion doesn’t cause war, it’s the PEOPLE who are in charge of it that abuse there self givin power to drive fear into the people who follow them that causes war.

Religion does cause war/death … The show of power , wealth , art , buildings …. Control the mind and emotions.

I think you are missing my point EIleen. Please answer my question. Who do you think is responsible for our recession, is it the economies fault or is it the fault of the people who look after the economy?

Ahh ! Of course . Point taken … The people who look after the economy . So the people who rule the religions are responsible on how religion influences it’s people …

Exactly :-)

Muslims are simply responding to western backed aggression : http://eiremuslim.com/?p=393

Try read more widely and you’ll learn of constant attacks upon the peaceful Muslim community by bloodthirsty Christians – well enough’s enough!

From ur website eiremuslim “EireMuslim is pro-Islam, pro-Shariah, pro-Justice, pro-Peace.”

Enough said . So which are you khalid Kelly or Liam Egan .???

As for your blog post about how if Christians don’t like northern Nigeria they should get out. Exactly the kind of fascist statement I have come to expect from such supremicists like you.

Your sort justify the slaughter of
Christians in Nigeria and no doubt you will make up some excuse to justify the 100,000 Egyptian Christians who have fled in the last few months

”But how long do you simply allow a minority, no matter who they are backed by, to terrorize the majority. And that perhaps is why Boko Haram have now moved toward their newly offensive position coupled with calls to secure the north from the tyranny of Christian militias and false religion.”
If i said this I would be denounced as a racist …. The article is guilty of inciting unrest and hatred, but then as I am a woman you would not take my opinion into account !!!

EireMuslim, 6 Nov 2011, in response to a ban on halal animal cruelty in Holland, urges western Muslims to leave the West: “When we can no longer worship openly, we have been commanded to emigrate (hijrah) – for truly the land is vast and the way of truth is sure. Leave the lands of unbelief, rob them of the manpower, wealth and intellect they have readily abused, build the Muslim lands, build the Ummah”. Well, western Islamists should leave. That would be great! I wonder will EireMuslim follow this advice?
EireMuslim talks sense! They oppose a nuclear Shia Iran, 14 Nov 2011. “allowing the Rawaafida (extreme Shia found in Iran) to develop nuclear weapons is potentially disastrous … Their treachery, machinations and plotting are well known … allowing a sect with a history of despicable and treacherous actions toward Sunni Muslims to become a nuclear power would not only lead to a new arms race but could lead the region into a new war.” Right on, brother! IAF bombs away!
EireMuslim, 9 Dec 2011, openly supports religious oppression: “nationals from every country that has banned hijab should be forced to wear hijab in Muslim lands, men should be compelled to grow beards and all western dress should be prohibited. Non-Muslims should be forbidden from worshipping in their usual manner, there should also be a halt on the construction of all churches, etc.”
EireMuslim, 13 Dec 2011, says witches are real and must be killed! He also says apostates must be killed! “A practitioner of witchcraft may do something that makes him an apostate, so he commits kufr and should be executed for his apostasy. … There should be no hesitation in executing the practitioner of witchcraft”.
The sinister EireMuslim, 20 Dec 2011, supports “punishing” homosexuals.
EireMuslim, 24 Dec 2011, denies the Armenian Genocide. “the so-called Armenian ‘genocide’ … The Turks fought against a Christian Armenian insurgency that sided with Russian invaders.”

Eiremuslim
You have made some dispicible comments .

Just wondering “Eire musilm” does your website have any promotion of peace between different
religion’s or is all just ill hated crap toward’s other respected way’s of live?
You must trail the internet looking for your next high of feeling hatred toward’s anything that goes
against the grain of your thinking.I don’t like everything that life bring’s me or what some people believe in but I respect their way of living or faith once it doesn’t harm anyone else.
Treat other’s the way you like to be treated that’s what I was thought and what I practice.

Or perhaps the Ireland supporting calls for a Christian free Northern Nigeria? Just like their support for southern Sudan? We won’t hold our breath

You don’t even make sense .id suggest
Everyone takes a good look at your website to see the sort of hate you justify and preach

That’s just the excuse. People kill eachother over land, power, politics etc.

Ah yes,another aggressive secularist using an outrage to grind an axe.Pass the sick-bag.

What’s an ‘aggressive secularist’ Charles, and how does Dave’s post imply that he is one?

In the present context I regard an aggressive secularist as someone who loathes all religion, blames it for all of the World’s troubles and most particularly jumps at the opportunity to dismiss all religions,or at least Christians and Muslims as believing in fairy tales.Innocent people are being slaughtered but there is no empathy from many posters.It reminds me-and this is a little off topic- of people who were quite reasonably against the Iraq War but who I suspect felt a frisson of excitement whenever they heard about a suicide bombing (they were mostly Muslim on Muslim as I recall).I also think the arrogant dismissal of religion so soon after innocents have been slaughtered ostensibly because they are Christians is downright indecent.

Well said Charles, people have to stop blaming religions and start making the men involved pay for their crimes, like the priests in Ireland should be. Their was nothing in the bible that told men to abuse children, but sick, perverted men used their authority to get away with heinous crimes. It doesn’t say priests can never get married, it’s just the way they interpreted it. like it never said to not have sex before marriage. It never said that abortion was wrong, especially not when a girl gets raped. And I don’t know much about Muslims but I doubt their god or whatever they have told them to blow themselves up

Give it a rest mate! Dawkins is so yesterday!

Dave, Thanks for your reply. I am short of time so I’ll keep it brief for now. You seem to speak of the possibility that religion may contribute to violent attacks and/or wars. I don’t have a particular problem with that proposition. My main problem is with people who routinely pronounce that religion is the cause of all the World’s problems, and on the present topic, those who jump into the immediate aftermath of some outrage with their glib analysis that religion is the cause of all the World’s problems, thereby in my opinion, somewhat overlooking the foul actions of the murderers and diminishing the awful oppression and slaughter of the Christian victims. As to my own personal outlook on the issue of religion,as I said I am not particularly religious and don’t claim to have figured out the profound questions around the intersection of religion and science. In fact I don’t feel much need to do so. I don’t believe science has yet explained everything and in particular where it all started ( what made the “Big Bang” happen?). I don’t presume to say that it must be a creator or designer. I just don’t know. I do know that even in spite of the recent disclosures about the Catholic Church it has done much good in Ireland and elsewhere. After 14 years of Catholic education I feel I was left with a good moral grounding. My children all go to schools with a strong Catholic ethos (the Secondary school where I went as it happens, which has always had pupils from other religions) and thus far I believe that that has been very good for them. They’ll make up their own minds in the fullness of time but I like that they will have a series of reference points to turn to if they so choose. And I’m pretty sure that like me none of them will feel the urge to denigrate or do harm to people of other faiths or none because they went to Catholic schools. Not such a brief reply after all. To work!

You say that as though those categories are mutually exclusive.

I said there was a difference, not that they were mutually exclusive.I thought that was clear but perhaps not clear enough for some.If one glibly classifies those who don’t share one’s point of view as lunatics then one is part of the problem.Of course there are lunatics in every religion,particularly at the fringes but the aggressive secularists don’t have a monopoly on sense or sanity and some don’t seem to be able to resist the opportunity to have a dig at religion no matter how horrific the circumstances,in this instance while there might yet be warmth in the bodies of the victims.So do I want to live on a society run by secularists who reckon they have it all figured out?Hell no! (Btw,I am a conservative but not particularly religious).

Spot on Charles, and will done for highlighting this. Even the omission of words in the article speaks a thousand words….who fears to speak? Those who are using incidents like this to condemn all religions are muddle-headed at best, probably drug addled, and clearly moronic. This liberal infatuation with condemning every Christian and glossing over non-Christian barbarism shows a very peculiar form of self-hatred.

Except theyre claiming to be an Islamic country- were not a Christian country just a country with a majority of Christians. Read the Constitution. All religion is a problem, and even worse when is manipulated by conservative extremist.

Ehh Fiachra ????
We aren’t a Christian state ????

Maybe *you* should read Bunreacht na hEireann
try Article 6.1

The state shall not endow any religion and the provision for the “special place” of the catholic church was removed in the 70′s
