Police in Northern Ireland are treating a series of anti-(Muslim) immigration signage in west Belfast as a hate incident, including a graffiti message that read, “Irish Lives Matter.”
Newsweek (h/t Rebel R) The incidents in Northern Ireland, which is a part of the United Kingdom, follow less than a week after anti-Muslim immigration riots broke out in Dublin, Ireland. The violent protests, which Irish police blamed on “far-right” ideology, were sparked after an Algerian Muslim migrant was accused of stabbing of five individuals, including three children, outside of an “all-Irish”,
Signage in Belfast included a statement hung near Tildarg Avenue that said the community “will no longer accept the re-housing of Muslim illegal aliens,” according to a report by the BBC.
A day later, a graffiti message that read “Irish Lives Matter” was also spray painted on the side of the Kennedy Centre in Belfast. Andrew Matson, a spokesperson for the Police Service of Northern Ireland (PSNI), said that law enforcement was “treating the matter as a hate incident,” according to a report from the British broadcast network ITV.
Far Left politicians in Northern Ireland also spoke up on the matter, including People Before Profit lawmaker Gerry Caroll, who said in a post to X, formerly Twitter, that there was “no place in our society for this kind of racist poison”.
“If saying ‘Irish lives matter’ in Ireland is a hate crime that’s the definition of a conquered nation,” conservative commentator Auron Macintyre wrote to X.
Collin Rugg, co-owner of the conservative commentary site Trending Politics, also raged in a post that the PSNI handling of the incident meant that, “Ireland has officially gone mad.” “The graffiti comes after Irish citizens are rising up against their government and demanding action on the flow of migrants,” Rugg wrote, adding, “Wokeness eats away the brain.”
“When the number one baby name in Ireland is Mohammed, you’ve lost your culture.”

he was supposedly an irish citizen who has been there like 20yrs. with no job.
BareNakedIslam says
In the beginning, the media kept referring to him as an Irish man, leaving out the Algerian Muslim part.
The Close Looker says
The slogan “Irish Lives Matter” is not, by itself, racist nor does it express hatred. Authorities in Ireland, who say otherwise, are trying to “pin on” innocent people false; bogus criminal charges and take away the Irish people’s rights. Those Irish authorities are the ones breaking Irish laws. The only thing the writer of “Irish Lives Matter”, if ever caught, can really be charged with, is grafitti writing on someone else’s property. Also, paint can be removed or that area re-painted.

Just say Black Irish Lives Matter and see what they do.

This is Ulster. Northern Ireland. An extension of the Bubble headed nation to the east where King Chuck and his Dumbo Ears holds court.

They were Scottish immigrants, not British.

Anyone else notice that it’s the POLICE worldwide who have become the enemy of freedom?

I’m part Irish. What a joke now. The potato famine over, the brain famine here to stay. The very best detective/police show I’ve ever seen is Irish … Line of Duty … about a group of Garda internal investigators. Now to realize that the Garda is nothing but a sick police joke. Sad.
BadFrog says
Line of Duty is a series about the British Police, set in the East Midlands with some of the scenes being shot in Belfast. Maybe you need to rewatch it, this time without drinking so much.

Really now then i have a challenge for all you out there. Come into my country (germany) and say german lives matter, do it and you will see what that brings you. this here is noticed but in my country no one cared and cares then this and much more are the normal happenings here in the best germany ever and that with the special democracy as our bundes president (steinmeier) says. Nothing new.
BadFrog says
The police in Northern Ireland (Police Service of Northern Ireland) were neutered back in 2000 as part of the Good Friday Agreement. They now have to meet diversity quotas rather than recruiting the best applicants.

The downfall of the west. Where are those manly ol’ feminist Nazis?
Deeply Concerned says
Visiting Belfast this weekend. It’s full of dangerous Muslim hostiles. Once lovely Christmas stalls now being taken over by anti Christian and anti Christmas Muslim thugs. This is so sick. Quiet passive population gone servile. Centuries of war between the various Irish tribes no sooner somewhat resolved when along comes the Muslim invader freeloader. Everything about the Muslim is bitter and full of .hate. so anti women, anti western, anti social. Stop the Muslims. Stop the mosques. NOW!

Ok, let’s follow the logic here (or lack thereof). A “migrant” stabs 5 Irish people in Ireland, including 3 kids, and you’re to say nothing. And IF an Irishman stabbed 5 migrants, that’s a “hate crime”. Why can’t these leftist idiots see that hate is driving both these incidents? We’re to think that the migrant is misunderstood? That if he were treated better, it never would have happened? They already gave the “migrant” the keys to the city, what more can you do? What is actually the problem is the left doesn’t want to admit they were wrong by opening the door to a people that just hates them, so they’re throwing around the “far-right” title to shame everyone into compliance.

Israel tried for at least 25 years to warn them since they were great supporters of the Palestinian cause. Unfortunately, they now understand what Israel has been dealing with.
BareNakedIslam says
Ireland is run by far leftists and there’s no love lost for Israel there.
BadFRog says
True but the Palestinians provided training and arms to the Provos.
