Thank you to everyone who joined us in the spirit of togetherness, love and friendship to celebrate #EidAlAdha at Croke Park on Saturday, and all who worked so hard to make it possible. Go raibh míle maith agaibh go léir.

One of the most brutal scenes in human history has been leaked.

Footage from an Israeli aircraft shows thousands of starving Palestinians running towards an aid truck, before it bombs and kills them all.

A video that the world must never forget.

Barely a month ago this man was imprisoned for the violent rape of a Sikh woman believing that she was a Muslim. No Douglas Murray articles in the Spectator, no Baroness Fox speech in the Lords. No riots. Two tier? Too right https://t.co/8wABWe3bww

Statement on the Arson Attack at the Islamic Cultural Centre of Limerick

Due to character limitations, we are unable to publish our full statement here. The complete statement is available on the Chairperson’s official account.

[Shaykh Dr. Umar Al-Qadri @DrUmarAlQadri]

Statement from the Irish Muslim Council

The Irish Muslim Council strongly condemns the recent arson attack on the Islamic Cultural Centre in Limerick. An attack on any place of worship is an attack on the fundamental values of peace, respect, and coexistence that define Irish society.

We are deeply alarmed by the rise in anti-Muslim hate and the growing levels of Islamophobia across the country. Such acts of hostility and intimidation not only target one community but undermine the inclusive and democratic principles upon which Ireland is built. There can be no tolerance for hatred directed at any faith group.

The Muslim community in Ireland stands firmly for peace, dialogue, and cooperation. We remain committed to working constructively with all communities and civic partners to ensure that fear, division, and prejudice do not prevail.

At this critical moment, the Irish Muslim Council calls on the Government to strengthen protections for all places of worship, not only mosques, but churches, synagogues, temples, and every sacred space across the country. Every person must feel safe in practicing their faith without fear of intimidation or violence. Protecting religious institutions is a shared responsibility and a reflection of our commitment to religious freedom and mutual respect.

We urge unity, solidarity, and decisive action to ensure that Ireland remains a welcoming home for people of all faiths and none.

@EoghanMacDonnc1 That’s not Dublin you far right conspiracy theorist

[Irish Muslim Council @IrishMuslimCoun]

@Fantom01010 They self identify as Muslims but Muslims consider them a separate religious group. They also are not allowed to go on the Hajj. However, everyone should be able to practise their religion freely. But amidst current political climate, such ads are not helpful.

[Irish Muslim Council @IrishMuslimCoun]

@Fantom01010 This is an advertisement from a religious group known as Ahmadis and Mirzais. They are to Muslims what Mormons are to Christians. They believe in a Prophet and Messiah, Mirza Ghulam Ahmad, and believe that Jesus Christ, Peace and Blessings be upon Him, is buried in India.

Meet @SifanHassan, a Dutch athlete from the Netherlands who proudly donned her Hijab while receiving the gold medal in the women's marathon. Born in Ethiopia, she arrived as a refugee in the Netherlands at the age of 15 and was warmly embraced by the Dutch community. The whole country is proud of her.

Although she competed without the Hijab, she made a powerful statement by wearing it during the closing ceremony in front of the whole world. This act was a bold contrast to France's ban on French athletes wearing the Hijab, and showcased her resilience and pride in her Muslim identity and beliefs.
