Post by: RedHand88 on July 15, 2020, 04:57:45 PM
The festival of sacrifice.

I don't know much about this festival, but alot of people are not impressed. Is it a big issue?

Where do the people who are not impressed hang out?
at "Make Ireland Catholic Again" ?

A very positive decision by the GAA to stage this event for Irish muslims.

Does it involve the ritual slaughter of an animal, as some are suggesting? Assuming it doesn't, I am 100% happy to see it in Croke Park, as the Pope was a few years ago.

Was wondering that myself!  Maybe the original poster has been hanging about in the same place?

The "ritual slaughter" is done in an abattoir not in Croke Park.

Relax, I merely asked a question. Plenty of people had objections to the world meeting of families happening there in 2018, so wondered if there were objections to another religious festival.

Journal.ie say no slaughtering of animals at Croke Park

Totally relaxed here,
why did you state "alot of people are not impressed" and not have any link to support that except a baselesss assumption?

On mention of slaughtering of animals at Croke Park, it's  hard for me  to get past the image of Tyrone GAA, perhaps hope  springs eternal.

Alot of poeple on social media were giving off, thats why I said alot of people are not impressed and wanted to know what the story actually was. Can show you links if you're really bothered. But then again, you're totally relaxed and chilled 8)

Presumably the Gemaroids and usual neo Nazi lot.
Seems some right wing Internet thingy said they'd be killing animals in Croker.

A guy called Leo Sherlock is behind that site, he's a brother of the vile anti-choice propagandist Cora Sherlock. Another brother is mixed up with UKIP. They're from Louth.

Sherlock plagiarises news stories from reputable outlets and rewrites and distorts a lot of them with a far right slant. He has a load of pseudonyms he writes under to make it look like his site employs other people but in reality it's all him. He scams people by getting them to "like" the site's Facebook page in the hope of winning bogus competitions. If you do a bit of digging into his background he's a bizarre character, a Walter Mitty type.

The whole Sherlock family seems weird, they're not unlike the Burkes of Castlebar.

It says a lot about you that you characterise a person opposed to women killing their own children as "vile".

Sherlock is vile and then some.

To be of your belief, you have to believe that two thirds of the Irish voting public support murder.

Go on, say it. Sherlock did.

And came across as the nutcase you have to be to believe such utter tripe.

The arguments were had two years ago. Your lot lost the arguments. Your lot were routed. And you'll stay routed.
