    Islam third largest religion in Ireland

    Muslims now make up the third largest religious group in Ireland, according to figures published today by the Central Statistics Office.

    The CSO says more than 32,000 people said their religion was Islam in the last census.

    More than half of Muslims are either Asian or African nationals, while one-third have are Irish.

    Catholics still make up the largest religious group in the country, following by members of the Church of Ireland.
    Still think we shouldn't be worried?

    panic, 0.6% of the population are Muslims, do you not think your being a tad extreme ?

    And the Orthodox Church is just only going to get bigger. Worried yet? I bet there are more PD voters than Muslims.

    No. The last thing we need is ghettos like they already have in the UK. If immigration of Muslims continues that is what we will get. Add to that I have seen far more white muslim women converts here than I ever saw in the UK.

    And why would the women live in ghettos? And what's wrong with white Muslim women?

    PD voters dont strap explosives to their bodies and blow up their fellow citizens.
    A tiny minority of Islamic extremists do,but that is all it takes ,a few extremists can inflict major damage.

    It's what is wrong with Islam that is the problem.
