The Sharia police are out in Northern Ireland. “Replica mosque on top of loyalist bonfire in Tyrone condemned as ‘vile,’” RTE News, July 9, 2026:
Police have been urged to intervene after a replica of a mosque was placed on top of a loyalist bonfire pyre in Co Tyrone.
The model was visible on top of the pyre in Moygashel this morning.
Signs saying “Secure our borders” and “End the threat of radical Islam” have also been placed on the fire which is made up of pallets and is due to be set alight tomorrow night.
Amnesty International described it as a “vile display” and a “blatant attempt to stir up anti-Muslim hatred and intimidate local families”.
Police have said they are aware of the replica mosque placed on top of it, adding that a 56-year-old man has been arrested in connection with it.
Northern Ireland Secretary of State Hilary Benn has described it as a “sickening and cowardly act of intimidation”.
The placement of a replica mosque on the Moygashel bonfire is a sickening and cowardly act of intimidation.
This is not about tradition, and in no way does it represent the vast majority of people in Northern Ireland.
We must stand united and completely reject such hatred.

The same bonfire site has attracted controversy in previous years.
Last year there was condemnation after effigies of migrants in a boat were burned on the Moygashel fire.
Patrick Corrigan, Amnesty International’s Northern Ireland director, said: “This vile display is a blatant attempt to stir up anti-Muslim hatred and intimidate local families.
“It must be met with a decisive response by the police.
“The placing of an effigy of a mosque on top of a bonfire amounts to incitement to hatred directed at real people who live, work and raise families in Northern Ireland….
There have been calls for a replica mosque and anti-Muslim signage placed on a loyalist bonfire in Co Tyrone to be removed.
It is understood the miniature structure was placed on the pyre in Moygashel on Wednesday.

Police said the 56-year-old man responsible “had been arrested on suspicion of displaying threatening, abusive or insulting material which is intended to stir up hatred.”
Islam is unlike other religions. Everywhere Islam expands, so does strife, demands for special privileges, jihad attacks, antisemitism and infringement on the freedom of speech to protect the sensibilities of Muslims.
The frenzy of leftist politicians and leftist activists over the display, referencing it as a “hate crime,” is highlighted, when the display has the clear signage: “Secure our borders” and “end the threat of radical Islam.”
Shouldn’t every reasonable Western citizen want secure borders for the sake of national security? Do Muslim countries not protect their borders? And shouldn’t every Western country want to “end the threat of radical Islam”? The reaction to the sign and the move to levy charges against the man responsible is revealing. Those who arrested him are essentially Sharia police.
Islam is not a religion of peace. Jihad by immigration has been waged for years, with strenuous efforts to protect it on the part of Muslims and their leftist water carriers.
Ron McDowell from the Traditional Unionist Voice stated:
“What I’m defending is the message and their right to articulate their concerns.
“Bonfires have been used like this right across Europe, right across the world. We burn Guy Fawkes in the UK.”
He said the mosque effigy was not aimed at all Muslims but was instead a protest against “radical Islam”.
What Nolan states is a no-brainer. The reaction to the display highlights everything that is wrong with leftist politicians in Northern Ireland, and a demonstration that the Sharia is gaining momentum.
Just as you thought it couldn’t get any worse.
A 56yr old man has been arrested for the Moygashel bonfire display.
Signs stating “Secure our borders” and “End the threat of radical Islam” have also been placed on the bonfire.
And police swooped on the man’s home ffs! https://t.co/zS4sJEICKC

……..meanwhile, Muslims set fire to a real church somewhere in Europe every other day……..and get away with it.

Europe disgusts me more every day. The governments ignore the rapes of their children and arrest people who complain about it.

Yes–no Infidels are setting mosques on fire.

Amnesty International described it as a “vile display” and a “blatant attempt to stir up anti-Muslim hatred and intimidate local families”.
I contend that the Muslims stabbing, killing, and raping is much more responsible for creating perfectly understandable anti-muslim hatred…. Talk about vile!

The “sickening” woman says, “no way does it represent the vast majority of people in Northern Ireland.”
Is she correct? Or are the “vast majority” fed up with the slime who want all to convert, pay their extortion and/or de?
Free speech has died in Northern Ireland.

“Northern Ireland: Man arrested for protest display against ‘radical Islam threat’ using replica of mosque on bonfire”
BECAUSE OF THE WESTERN CONSTITUTIONS
MUSLIMS AS FOLLOWING ISLAM THE DEVILISH AND TERRORISTS’ RELIGION IN THE WEST HAVE
MORE POWER AND MORE DANGER THAN IN ANY MULISMS COUNTRIES MILLION TIMES.

No Westeren nations have consitutions saying the Muslims have the right to wage Jihad terror here. It is nations *ignoring* their constitutions which allows this.

Just note that every year on Bonfire Night, we burn an effigy of a Catholic. Only some are protected from offense.

We’re absolutely done here.

Perhaps some of those who lit this bonfire knew about and were thinking of the suffering of their Christian brethren in Nigeria… where churches have been burned by Mohammedans for years.
here’s an idea: next time, have a handout ready with a list of all churches burned or otherwise destroyed by Mohammedan raiders in Nigeria in the past year. With dates and locations.
I wonder what would have happened if the signs had said, “Say NO to the religion of blood and war”. “DEFEAT JIHAD”. “Reverse the Hijra”. “REMEMBER BALTIMORE”.

Should have just said it was a replica Christian Church. Then the Left would have said nothing.
John says
Now, that’s what I call a “creative Protest”! As they used to say in the 1960’s, “Burn, Baby, Burn”!

“As they used to say in the 1960’s, “Burn, Baby, Burn”!”
There was a lot of that in the 60s and 70s. It is nothing new.

I was there. 300,000 paying music fans they say. Closer to 500.000 and completely peaceful. No shootings, stabbings, rapes, robberies, nor anything else, gong on. Seems like another time in an age long ago. In some ways it was much better but also harder than it is today.
࿗Infidel࿘ says
That 56-year old protester should have just called it an “islam threat”. He got absolutely no concession by calling it “radical islam”: it’s not like his punishment would have been either more or less severe
At this point, I don’t see why Northern Ireland still needs to be separated from the Irish Republic. The latter is no longer a Cathollic theocracy, if it ever was. Both of them can be persecuted by islam together, instead of splitting up Ulster b/w London and Dublin

Kepha Hor says
I gather Moygashel is a Protestnat island in County Tyrone–which county, during the Troubles, had grown men of the IRA in cars running down young boys on bucycles.
I could only think, re the bonfire:
The Protestant Boys are loyal and true
Though fashions are changed and the loyal are few
The Protestant Boys are true to the last
Though cowards belie them when danger has past
Aye still we stand
A loyal band
And reck not the liars whatever they say
For let the drums rattle
The summons to battle
The Protestant Boys must carry the day.
Islam is the greatest generator of Islaoiphobia.
