The imam of a Galway mosque which was attacked during the hour of prayer on Monday evening has appealed for “calm” in the wake of the London terrorist attack. Imam Ibrahim Ahmad Noonan of the Masjid Maryam mosque in Galway told The Irish Times that up to 100 members of the Galway mosque were left “terrified” when rocks smashed through the windows during the attack on Monday evening.

The attack comes in the wake of the terror attack in London on Saturday night and news that one of the three attackers lived for a time in Ireland and got married here. A cross-border inquiry is seeking to establish if Rachid Redouane (30), who lived in Rathmines for a time, got married in Ireland for immigration reasons. Police said Redouane claimed to be Moroccan or Libyan. […]

Imam Noonan said the the attack in Galway took place at approximately 11.20 pm on Monday evening. “Last night, during the time of prayer and actually as we prayed, rocks smashed through the windows”, the Imam said. […]

“A group of individuals were seen smashing our windows and we believe from the descriptions given, these men are understood to be Irish. They ran away once we came outside to investigate. It’s a very disturbing attack for us as a community because the prayer was going on.” …

“A group of individuals were seen smashing our windows and we believe from the descriptions given, these men are understood to be Irish."

Aren't Irish Muslims Irish? Something about the phrasing raises a red flag, or should I say, a false flag?

I live in Texas.

No different than with rioters or looters in general, if some Muslims start something I hope my fellow Texans bury them.

Ok.. you are terrified when someone attacks a mosque, but it is okay for you to burn a church with people in it. Well Muzzies, F you...

[Olog-hai]

Much of that terror is in sympathy with the Islamist version.

Muslims should be “terrified”. Their fake “religion” should, and eventually will be destroyed.

All I see are party darts in the middle of the picture.

[AppyPappy]

They were praying at 11:20PM on a Monday????

It’s a very disturbing attack for us as a community because the prayer was going on.” …

If you think that is bad, wait until one of them flies commercial aircraft into your building.

WWMCD?

What would Michael Collins do?

How does it feel to be on the receiving end for a change? Don’t dish it out if you can’t take it!

You would think the Irish had learned after the sack of Baltimore, Ireland, when moslem pirates seized the town and carried off almost all the people to slavery in north Africa.

Yep- the IRA and Qadaffi’s terrorists trained in Libya way back when.

Actually, it's racial profiling but it's okay when they do it.

And, oh yeah, if they're a citizen then, sadly, they're Irish.

[BitWielder1]

How dare they be terrified. That's Christophobia.

[ManHunter]

But one dares not mention the fact that the attackers were Muslim and were yelling “Allahu Akbar” or one will be prosecuted for hate speech...

[Mrs. Don-o]

Hm? Don’t other Christians care much for Mary?

[ProtectOurFreedom]

Wow, had no idea the Barbary pirates left the Med.
