Is Ireland really a hub for jihadists?

[barryqwalsh]

Reports emerged yesterday that a small group of Irish-based Muslim extremists have been playing a key role in supplying finances and logistical support to jihadist groups including the Islamic State.

It is suspected that around 12 individuals have been harbouring fighters from Britain and mainland Europe in Ireland, and supplying them with fake documents, including passports.

The Sunday Independent reported that an individual who frequently features in international terrorism bulletins, and is believed to be heavily involved in the finances of the Islamic State, has been living in south Dublin for over 15 years.

Split hairs?

I didn't split anything. Just called out bullshit. I know that pushing bullshit makes things worse, not better. You certainly are not going to solve anything like that.

Islamic terrorists will live anywhere where there is a Muslim population.

Don't push the British Island craziness on the Colonies. Why is the number #1 name for a male child in London none other than Mohammed? While the Brits and the Irish have been fighting and blowing each other up for the better part of the 20th century the Muslem jihad as been infiltrating because the idiot electorate has been electing idiot liberal politicians.

But there is evidence of extremism. A US government cable released by WikiLeaks in 2011 described one mosque in Dublin’s Blackpitts area as a “suspected gathering place for some radical elements within the Pakistani community”.
