Ireland to Build One of Europe's Largest Mosques
Gatestone Institute ^ | 4/2/13 | Soeren Kern

Posted on 04/02/2013 8:44:58 PM PDT by marshmallow

The Emir of Qatar, who has long cultivated an image as a pro-Western reformist, has vowed to "spare no effort" to spread Wahhabi Islam throughout Europe. Wahhabism — which not only discourages Muslim integration in the West but actively encourages jihad against non-Muslims — threatens to radicalize Muslim immigrants in Ireland.

City planners in the Irish capital, Dublin, have given the go-ahead for the construction of a sprawling mega-mosque complex that will cater to Ireland's burgeoning Muslim population.

The massive €40 million ($50 million) "Islamic Cultural Center" will be built on a six-acre site in Clongriffin, a new and as yet unfinished suburb at the northern edge of Dublin.

According to the Dublin City Council, which approved the project on March 7, the Clongriffin Mosque will consist of: (a) a three-story domed mosque and cultural center with towering minarets; (b) a two-story conference center including a reception foyer, conference room, restaurant, banquet hall, kitchens and ancillary accommodation; (c) a three-story 16-classroom primary school and a two-story 12-classroom secondary school; (d) a two-story fitness center with a gym, sauna, steam room and an Olympic-sized indoor swimming pool; (e) a bookshop, library and mortuary; and (f) three four-story blocks of two-bedroom apartments with ground floor shops.

The Clongriffin Mosque will cater to some of the 30,000 Muslims living in Dublin, which is home to around 60% of the estimated 50,000 Muslims living in Ireland.

Yes, but there are plenty of Leftists, especially in Dublin, who will no doubt approve of this development. It was a Dublin jury who aquitted a few anti-war protesters that did $2 million in damage to a U.S. C-130 shipping supplies to our troops in Iraq a few years ago. The Ireland of people’s memories is not what it seems.

Also known as “colonization.”

Demographics is destiny.

I cannot believe what Western civilization is allowing under its very nose.


You are correct, sir. Leftists and Globalists are trying to destroy nationalism by destroying national identity — the unifying culture, religion, language and people of a nation. The Leftist and Globalist plans are going even smoother than expected because the weak-willed are so deathly afraid of being called “racist” if they object to their nation’s dilution or death.

>When will we learn?<

.
You have to be kidding.

If we have not learned by now, it’s too late. Besides, the West is more interested in its destruction than it’s survival.

Why do you think that it’s called the culture of death?

There would probably be Christian church services in Saudi by now and more personal freedom than there is today.

That is true. But the IRA does not control govt in the Republic. The Republic has/had little use for the IRA in recent times. The IRA was as much a threat to the Republic as to the UK.

Come on Ireland...don’t do it. Throw out the Muslims and the IRA in the same dust bun.

Colonization is an apt description. Muslims are building a huge complex in Nashville in an area where not many terrorists, er, muslims live. Long term planning for colonists in action..

Ha! Who do you think taught the Irish to blow things up so good? There weren’t PLO solidarity murals all over Belfast for no reason. Brothers in arms.

The real comfort here is that there is no way in hell many Irish will ever convert to Islam when they find out that whiskey is forbidden!

They have a name for it in Arabic: Dawa. It's Islamic prosletyzation.

You're right--it is colonization. I run a public library, and guess what? Over the last several years we have--twice!--received, unsolicited, Wahabbi prosletization materials. Small, colorful, paperback books circa 100 pp., two copies.

Received them twice, total of four. I assume all other libraries received 'em.

That's a helluva lotta postage. $$$

They're well-funded. They move with purpose, they plan.

The West doesn't plan. It doesn't even react. It's a chess game, and we're not even seated at the board, and our opponent just started the clock--our time is running. We don't even realize there's a game afoot.

To make it worse--for those of you who ARE Biblically literate, you'll understand what I'm about to say--Revelation says that Christians would be martyred via beheading.

Guess who does that? The Saudis. This week, they actually commuted the sentence of one person from CRUCIFIXION down to a lesser form of punishment.

Yep, they're still doin' crucifixion.

The implication is that Islam ultimately puts Jews and Christians into a tight spot before the End.

Apologetics and eschatology. Fun to consider both in light of current events. What a backdrop.

Having lived in Saudi Arabia in the early 80s I became an anti muslim while still in my teens. And everything I railed about then has come true, massive mosque building, massive immigration without assimilation, and terrorism. I remember being appalled that Americans didn’t take to the streets after Pan Am 103..and I was only 21..
