Gardaí would apparently have us believe that this young Muslim was raised to be a good “moderate,” rejecting “extremism,” until he encountered “radicals” online who “brainwashed” him. Why wasn’t the “moderate” Islam he supposedly learned at the local mosque sufficient to withstand the blandishments of the sinister online hijackers of Islam? I doubt Irish authorities are pondering that question, its clear answer, or the implications of that answer.
An update on this story. “‘Radicalised’ boy (16) who allegedly stabbed army chaplain at barracks had come to garda attention for online terror reposts,” by Ken Foy and Robin Schiller, Irish Independent, August 17, 2024:
A 16-year-old boy who is being questioned over the stabbing of an army chaplain, had been reposting propaganda from Islamist terrorist organisations after being radicalised online, gardaí have established.
The Irish Independent has learned he had come to the attention of specialist gardaí and was being monitored before Thursday night’s attack at a barracks in Galway because of the “open nature” of what the teenager was posting online….

The “Freedom” to speak is being attacked, unless the speaker is threatening lives on behalf of the false ‘god’ and the fake prophet of islam.
Cops are not allowed to stop someone for their ideas…unless it’s like the guy who posted his opinion on fb about ‘funding rapists’…so all of these ghouls are being *watched and monitored* but they still manage to carry out their evil ideas, making the lives of others miserable….or non-existent.
The whole idea of “radicalized” is just cover so the evil can persist and grow as it is “watched.”
Paul Burns says
Imagine having to spend time and resources “monitoring” people to try to fix a problem your own government policy created. Hungary and Poland don’t have to waste their time on this idiocy.
Rick Gordon says
Excuse me but isn’t Ireland the country whose government has adopted an anti-Israeli approach to its foreign policy? The government clearly believes that these ‘moderate’ Moslems are much better citizens than the Jewish citizens who have lived in the country for generations.

Why, yes, yes it is.
And may I say, to all you good Irish leftists, you are going to get what you wanted, good and hard. Couldn’t have happened to a nicer set of virtue-signaling dirtbags.
Unfortunately, the decent non-leftist Irish are gonna be hurting, along with their dirtbag compatriots.

I have seen those ” Ireland says enough is enough” protests on You tube.
I have seen the violent overzealous riot police thugs empolyed by the Garda to intimidate Irish Folk.
I have never seen such treason by a political elite as disgraceful ,as morally bankrupt,as Simon Harris and his bunch.
The Irish Government i believe does not work for the Irish people:it works for the Globalists.Nor does it represent the Irish people.
There are pro-Israel groups in Ireland::i guess they are the “far right”

Funny, this reminds me of England’s current predicament.
Since governments are determined to ignore their own people, and are not going to change course, violence will be the result in Great Britain and Ireland.

The Garda are a joke.
Waiting for God says
What more of a joke than the Starmer Troopers in the UK ?
