me) Muslims make up less than 1% of Irelands population, over 92 percent of Irish people are Christian, it is therefore a Christian country.
mpac.ie) You can claim that the majority of the people claim Catholicism as their religion, that doesn't make it a Christian country - Catholics are not Christian. And even if they were considered so, the constitution still stands as the banner under which Ireland represents itself to the world. At this time it explicitly states that Ireland will endow NO religion (in 1973 they removed all reference to the Catholic church). This is the law Irish and Proud.
me) All God's prophets (Muhammad did not) did miracles to prove they were speaking for God. God would have it no other way.
The life of Jesus on earth abounded with astounding miracles. The Qur'an itself declares in Surah 5:110 that Jesus performed miracles. Forget what's in the made up Hadiths; the Qur'an itself admits twice that Muhammad said he could do no miracles (Suras 13:7 and Surah 17:90-94 ). Jesus makes it quite clear that miracles are necessary to prove what one speaks is of divine origin. Jesus said; "If I had not done among them the works which none other man did, they had not had sin: but now have they both seen and hated both me and my Father." (John 15:24). Jesus made the deaf hear, the lame walk, the blind see, the dumb speak. He multiplied 5 loaves of bread to feed 5000 people, and he cured lepers and many other diseased people, and raised the dead with his word only. One woman was cured by just touching Jesus' garment. Jesus walked on water, caste out demon spirits, raised his own self from the dead, and finally rose to heaven in front of many witnesses. The ability to confirm one's oral proclamation with supernatural acts is what sets the genuine apart from the counterfeit (The Quran Unveiled, page 216).
mpac.ie) Again the Quran testifies to the greatness of Jesus and also speaks of his miracles. It doesn't deny that Jesus was endowed with these gifts, but you are forgetting one thing. Jesus said "I can do nothing on My own initiative As I hear, I judge; and My judgment is just, because I do not seek My own will, but the will of Him who sent Me. He could only do what God gave him the ability to do. Many of the enemies around the Prophet said what you have said, the Prophet himself was quite upset with this, yet as you quite correctly point out - the Quran does not mention any miracles of the Prophet.
me) Being Irish is a Cultural thing, the Irish culture is one of the oldest cultures in the western world, to be Irish involves alot more than just being born on the Land.
the fact you seem unaware of this deep cultural understanding of our Proud and ancient culture only furthers my Belief you are not Irish, nor are many who claim to be,
just because they were born here. also Christianity is an integral part of Irishness, our national day is named after the man who brought Christianity to Ireland,
You may have heard of him St Patrick, Islam shares no such affinity with our nation, and never will.
mpac.ie) Actually, Christianity is only part of Irish history. It was as foreign as Islam is now when it first came. You do know Christianity was here before Patrick, right? Ireland also celebrates another religious festrival that is closely linked to its past, Halloween or Samhain when innocent children were sacrificed to the 'gods' to ward off the evil spirits. Ireland has more affinity with this pagan religion than it does with the foreign religion of Christianity.
me) It is already destined for failure, too many people fought and died in Ireland for there religion, they will not allow islam to creep in,
I would advise you to be careful in Ireland in regard any type of fanaticism, i think you will find Ireland is not like other European countries,
in which Islam operated with a free rein with fanatics running lose on the streets, shouting sectarian comments,
and with the help of the true God, it never will be.
mpac.ie) I would hardly call it creeping, we've come headlong. Just watch, soon the Garda will allow hijab, soon you'll see Muslims in the Dail. Soon you'll see high profile cases where Muslims highlight inequalities, soon you'll see more mosques, more schools, more visible Muslims on the streets and soon you'll see the truth of Al Islam. It's inevitable, stop fighting it. Accept islam for your salvation.
me) you see this is a fine example of the hidden agenda being pushed by islamic fundamentalists in this country, there is an ongoing attempt by these people to islamicise Ireland, over half of muslim men between the ages of 16-25 in ireland think Ireland would be a better palce to live if it was ruled under sharia Law, this is a very frightning prospect, and it is up to every Irish citizen be they Christian, Atheist, or whatever to prevent this from ever happening, you only have to look at countries were islamics became a large minority to see the destruction they have caused, Paris riots, Netherlands, Denmark, Germany. and Ireland will be next unless we do something to prevent it.
