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.

Being of Irish descent and having last been to Ireland in 1995 I feel sick at heart. Every country in Europe is being mongeralized by the Eurozone.

Dittos, Georgia Girl 2. I find this very disturbing...

And they want to disarm us.

I don’t think so.

Good luck. Dublin’s already bragging that it’s got more gays per capita than San Francisco, as if it were something to be proud of.

One of the biggest Arab Socialists/Pan-Arabists out there? Saddam was not our friend. He regarded Israel in exactly the same light as all of the other Islamic terrorists; he even supported the “Palestinian” terror groups.

He was much like Nasser....privately, Nasser really didn't care one way or another about Israel, it was just politically he had no choice to be against Israel to keep the Islamo-Fascists in Egypt at bay.

Sadat was confident enough that he could control the Islamo-Fascists, that he felt he could make the deal with Israel. He found out the hard way, it isn't so simple. The Ba'ath movement, to which both Saddam and Assad in Syria belong, is a secular, socialist movement.

Granted, they are no angels, but what angels are there in that part of the world?

The Wahabbist movement poses the bigger long-term threat to Western Civilization.

That’s quite the apologists’ line in regards to Nasser, who not only fought against Israel in the 1948 Arab-Israel War, but also said “Our basic objective will be the destruction of Israel” prior to the Six Day War. As a promoter of Pan-Arabism (cf. Pan-Germanism), Arab Socialism and Arab Nationalism, Nasser’s philosophy came right from the National Socialist German Worker’s Party.

Sadat had a similar history to Nasser, so why did he feel he could make peace with Israel, as opposed to Nasser?

When did Saddam feel that he could make peace with Israel? Was it when he fired 39 Scud missiles at them and they did not retaliate?

Saddam was a Nazi (see paragraph 11). Since when would a Nazi make peace with Israel by any means other than destroying it?

So was Sadat. I am trying to say that most Arab leaders felt they had to be anti-Israel to maintain power....I believe deep down, they wished the Pali problem would just go away one way or the other.

Their actions belie your feelings, with all due respect. As does their open philosophy.

Mind you, I support Israel whole-heartedly....but to use the Godfather analogy.....Saddam was a pimp....while it is the Wahabbis of Saudi Arabia that are the Barzini, the real threat.

That philosophy has its tendrils everywhere in the “Muslim world” (and alas for Obama using that term since it panders to the radical Islamist ideal). Anywhere you see “Arab nationalism”, “Pan-Arabism”, “Islamic Socialism” et cetera, the Wahhabist hand is in it—even in Iran, since the link between Wahhabism and the Muslim Brotherhood (which spawned Shi’ite Khomeini and his Revolutionary Guard) has always been unbroken AFAICS.
