Here yet again it must be asked: what efforts are Irish authorities making to ensure that no one in Ireland “holds a radical Islamist mindset”? Why, none. None at all. Like authorities all over the West, they’re just complacently expecting mosques and other Islamic institutions to teach moderation and loyalty to the secular state. On what basis do they assume that this will be done? On the basis that if they don’t assume this, they’ll be charged with being “Islamophobic” and face professional ruin.
“Teenage boy remanded in custody in connection with stabbing of priest at Army barracks,” by John Fallon, Irish Times, August 17 2024:
A 16-year old boy has been remanded in custody after appearing before a special sitting of Galway District Juvenile Court on Saturday in connection with the stabbing of a Defence Forces chaplain in the city on Thursday.
The accused, who cannot be identified as he is a minor, is charged with assault causing harm to Fr Paul F Murphy at Renmore Barracks.
Judge Gerard Furlong was told during a bail hearing that further, more serious charges may follow, and it is believed that “the accused holds a radical Islamist mindset”.
Garda Conor Breen gave evidence of arresting the teenager at 11.10pm on August 15th at Renmore Army Barracks in Galway and charging him at 11.31pm on August 16th. Garda Breen said the accused made no reply when charged….
“As a result of evidence seized during the course of this investigation, it is believed that the accused holds a radical Islamist mindset,” Det Sgt McNulty told the court. “An early analysis of devices attributed to the accused has revealed content of support to the Islamic State terrorist group.”…
Judge Furlong granted the accused free legal aid and certified for the assignment of counsel. He also directed that the accused have access to appropriate medical and psychological care on arrival at the detention centre….

Ireland: Muslim teen who stabbed Army chaplain ‘holds mainstream Muslim beliefs’
Scotsman48 says
Enough already already with the ”can be identified due to his age” bullshit, he is old enough to get a knife and stab somebody that did nothing against him and so he is old enough to have his name and face shown and mention where he was born and what religion he is.
