Ireland: Muslim activist says she often feels offended by Irish humor and that “this needs to change"

Ala Buisir is a 29-year-old photographer, activist, and video journalist. Born in Ireland with Libyan roots, her work documents the social and political tension around us today. Her aim is to raise awareness by presenting events through different perspectives, in the hope that she may also bring about positive change. She is also the co-founder Gorm Media, a multi-media platform for marginal communities in Ireland. Ala reflects on her faith and the importance of Ramadan in her life.

There is a large, grassroots, pushback against migrants going on in Ireland that is not being reported in the msm in the US, not sure about the UK. Planned housings have been burned down and protestors are preventing the migrants, almost all men, from being dropped off. I think Europe is finally waking the fuck up. It is being islamized deliberately.

New version of Dickens' ‘A Christmas Carol’ Will Have Tory-Voting, ‘Refugee-Hating’ Indian Scrooge

Gurinder Chadha has revealed that she’s making a film based on Charles Dickens’ “A Christmas Carol,” but one with a distinctly contemporary twist. Speaking to U.K. Parliament on Tuesday about the current state of the country’s film industry, she said the upcoming film was would have an Indian lead character. “My Scrooge is an Indian Tory who hates refugees,” she said.

Chadha, best known for Parminder Nagra and Keira Knightley starrer “Bend it Like Beckham,” also said the film had support from True Brit Entertainment, the new distribution company set up by former Lionsgate U.K. and Europe head and Marv Studios CEO Zygi Kamasa. “It’s very close to Dickens’ original themes with the cost of living crisis in the Britain,” she said, admitting that she’d spoken to U.K. Prime Minister Rishi Sunak about the film and he’d asked her not “make him look bad” to which she responded “I don’t have to do that for you.”)

Dunkin Donuts, another US company that got greedy

They used to be good and their prices were reasonable. Then they got greedy and their prices are nowadays outta control. Their points Rewards program which was also good turned into shit. It used to be after like three coffees you'd qualify for a free one. Now you gotta buy something like 15 of them first. Their updated app is shit too.

I’m surprised so many people still fall for this rightwing agitprop.

Thousands of immigrants arrive in Ireland and they are incredibly grateful to be let in and work hard to be good residents. Are there going to be a few entitled assholes in the batch? Of course. So the rightwingers will run the exception up the flagpole as the rule. Deceitful and a distortion.

Actually religions that demand modest clothing for women (including Islam and Orthodox Judaism) don’t do it because they believe women are sluts. They do it because men are thought to be unable to control their lust and exposed female flesh or hair is too much for them to be expected to resist. They place the burden of controlling male lust on women. Any woman who doesn’t comply is thought to be asking to be raped.

She wonders why she didn't feel represented in the Irish media when she was growing up. The Muslim population of Ireland now is 1.61%, in 2006 it was less than half that.

My nationality by birth represents 0.118% of the population in the country I call home. I don't look for everything in the media here to be especially tailored to my cultural background in another country (where I actually used to live). I wouldn't expect more than occasional representation if it were 10%.

Does she want a parade? Her own TV channel?

From 2016:

[quote]There were 63,443 Muslims in Ireland in April 2016, representing 1.3 per cent of the population and signalling a continued growth in the number of Muslims in Ireland. Ireland’s Muslim community has grown from just 3,875 persons in 1991, to 19,147 in 2002, 32,539 in 2006 and 49,204 in 2011.

There are plenty of Muslims who integrate well into western countries. But there are also some who do not.

If a Hindu community or a Jewish community holds to their religious and cultural identities in a secular western “Christian” country, they don’t really bother anybody else. They keep to themselves. What’s different about a Muslim community doing this is that Islam imposes a visible dress code on women that many interpret as repressive. This causes tension in societies where the rights of women are a central political concern.

Also, Islam still teaches that the faith and the state are inherently intertwined. This does represent a conflict with Western values. It’s not so much of an issue where their numbers are few, but it is an actual threat as the percentage of Muslims in a community rises.

It's not a crime to ask people not to make jokes at your expense. Lots of people make jokes about gay men, until someone finally says, "you know, I don't think that's very funny because I'm gay". Same with black jokes, Polack jokes, Jewish jokes, Puerto Rican jokes, Chinese jokes, etc. There are lots of ways to express humor without denigrating other people. Some of the very best humor is achieved through self-deprecation and quick wit. It doesn't make a person a lover of Islam (we all recognize that is is a problematic religion) to acknowledge that this woman might have a point. When we put people into categories and pretend that they all think exactly alike and inferior, we have not won them over to the benefits of living in a free and open society, but in many cases harden their hearts and make them feel as though they should just stay with their own groups. .

A core struggle that so many observant religious people go through is that they make all of these sacrifices to abide by their religion in the hopes of being told 'you're a good X' and to get praise from your religious community.

But then outside of that world, you don't get the same respect or admiration for being the 'good x' - when you're giving your time, money, changing your eating and dressing habits, etc. in order to reach this standard your religion has set for you.

I'm sacrificing all of this to be 'good' - why don't others see me in the same way? Then, at it's base, is the dichotomy this sets up - I'm good, so the others must be bad.

That's the part they don't say out loud. There is a general disgust and looking down on people who don't live their life in the same religious manner.

Ireland has gone through a MASSIVE cultural shift with religion after all of the horrible things that have been discovered the past few decades. They've woken up to all the power and control the Catholic church had over everyone's lives and they're not about to promote up and support another religion just because you wear a headscarf.

Religion is supposed to be a private, personal affair - but now it's been turned into this public performance despite how contradictory most religious people's behavior is to the actual teachings.

And little Ms. Sunshine Muslim would NOT support trying to bend and change Libyan society because some Christians move there.

There's a difference between respecting someone's beliefs and structuring laws around them.

If this woman opposes same sex marriage because of her religion then so what. I respect her beliefs. If she doesn't approve of same sex marriage she doesn't have to.

R215 - maybe not, be a clear overlap of muslim countries/populations with criminalizing gays.

Yes - it's still a convincing argument.

And it's a one way migration street. They want get out of their shithole countries but they never think that maybe their religion and lack of progress is anyway tied to their religion.

NOBODY wants to immigrate to muslim countries.

I mean if you have to change your conclusion every time you misunderstand the information you yourself put forward as “proof” of your previous argument then I guess anything can be a convincing argument….at least in the vas space between your own two remaining brain cells R217. Brava I guess?

R220 - compare the two maps. There are just a handful of Christian majority population countries. It is NOT 50/50 - not by a long shot.

Again - the first map.

The second map showing majority Muslim populations.

Sounds like YOU are the one who is not understanding the information.

Idiot Muslim apologist. You've convinced no one honey.

I went through your list fairly casually R223 from your original post at R213. And I came up with approx 28 majority Christian and 33 majority Muslim, with some others Buddhist or other. Now if you can’t understand land area v nation state quantity that’s a different argument. This is such a waste of time lol.

by Anonymousreply 224January 29, 2024 8:29 PM

R224 - yes, you are wasting your time, trying to search for any data point to prove that muslims and christians are just as bad and that somehow we have a misguided view of Islam and policies.

I don't see how you would find 28 majority Christian countries when you look at the majority muslim population map;.

And compare that to the majority Christian countries - there are only a small amount of countries on this list.

So yeah - you're being dumb.

They don't persecute gays because they are Christians (some woke idiots claim that they took homophobia from their European colonizers, which is stupid) but because of their African culture. Both Muslim and Christian African countries are violently anti gay.

Pope Frances stated that he understands that African priest won't obey his recommendation to give blessing to same sex couples, because their culture can't accept homosexuality.

This is how R225. Involves actually looking through information rather than glancing at a map and determining that what you're looking at just happens to suit your opinion.

Majority Christian: 28 Burundi, Cameroon, Eritrea, Eswatini, Ethiopia, Ghana, Kenya, Liberia, Malawi, Namibia, Nigeria (50/50), South Sudan, Tanzania, Uganda, Zambia, Zimbabwe, Dominica, Grenada, Guyana, Jamaica, Saint Lucia, Saint Vincent, Kiribati, Papua New Guinea, Samoa, Solomon Islands, Tonga, Tuvalu,

Majority Muslim: 35 Algeria, Chad, Comoros, Egypt, Guinea, Libya, Mauritania, Morocco, Nigeria (50/50), Senegal, Sierra Leone, Somalia, Sudan, The Gambia, Tunisia, Afghanistan, Bangladesh, Brunei, Indonesia, Iran, Iraq, Kuwait, Lebanon, Malaysia, Maldives, Oman, Pakistan, Palestine, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Syria, Turkmenistan, UAE, Uzbekistan, Yemen

Other: 3 Togo, Myanmar, Sri Lanka,

The liberal western self hatred is a disease. Just as self hatred in an individual is sign of mental illness, the self hating society is abnormal, not virtuous.

by Anonymousreply 229January 29, 2024 10:23 PM

R228 - and yet still it changes nobody's opinion or does anything to undermine the main point - it's muslim countries that have the most punishing laws against gays and there are a small # of Christian countries that do as well.

You're trying to make some argument that what the poster said wasn't true about Islam just because there were some Christian countries highlighted.

SO what? The point is almost EVERY muslim country is on the list.

Now if you want to step away from the gay issue and talk about human rights, muslim countries also do not fare very well - although a bit more of a mixed bag amount lots of other countries.

Muslim countries are oppressive shit holes - because of Islam.

Did I find them or not R230? And it’s actually 29, I miscounted ☺️. And 29 v 35 is 45%/55% split. So the “not by a long shot” is incorrect. This is what I was disputing. And I’m correct.

Much of the conversation here is dodging around the largest country in the world (by landmass) and the 9th most populous - Russia. It is at least as homophobic as any Muslim nation and it is majority Christian by a large margin.

by Anonymousreply 232January 30, 2024 7:17 AM

True. But there is a slight difference. Russians are not massively migrating to western countries and imposing their culture to domestic people. Russians immigrants come in smaller numbers, are not radicalized, they tend to mind their own business and they don’t have the tendency to spread their values and religion on others.

by Anonymousreply 233January 30, 2024 8:54 AM

And a bonus for Russians, they have sense of humor (just think about Gogol, Sologub, Harms, Ilf and Petrov) and mostly would not kill you over a joke.

Muslims would kill you over a cartoon. I can't think of anything comparable.

This bitch was born and raised in a Western democracy with all the freedoms and advantages that comes with it and all she can do is bitch. She's lucky she didn't grow up in a Muslim hellhole, she'd be married to her cousin and be his slave with her clit hacked off and five kids. Fuck her.

r233, please feel free to look up Slavic Baptist, or Evangelical Slavic Christian groups. They number around 1,000,000 (mostly moved from the former Soviet Union in the decade following perestroika). They are virulently anti-gay. A member of one of their congregations in Sacramento murdered a Pacific Islander who was dancing at a public park with his community, and the congregation hid the murderer until he could escape to Russia.

Finding one isolated case surely proves your point R237. Btw. Latvian is not Russian.

R238, the preacher is a Russian from Latvia, unfortunately. Indigenous Latvians don't get along with the Russian minority though (see planned deportations of Russians who are not capable of speaking Latvian). Still, Latvians aren't exactly the most gay-friendly Balts either, despite their gay president...

Totally! I mean it’s not like Russia are currently involved in a war with a European country trying to illegally seize their territory or anything.
