I think we'd better be careful what we say here, in terms of defamation.

Fine, but if his father really is a member of the Muslim brotherhood, he really should be deported.

I think an organisation needs to be banned in Ireland for the Gardai to arrest anyone. I don't think the Brotherhood is illegal here. Perhaps it could be prosecuted for inequality though?

I find it very regrettable that they are in this country. I think we should make all efforts to prevent anyone connected with the Muslim Brotherhood or similar groups coming here.

Unfortunately you'd have to ban Islam outright in order to achieve that. We have no tradition of secular Islam in this country and we can't inculcate one with one of the richest oil nations in the world doing its best to spread Salafist and Wahabist Islam throughout western Islamic enclaves. |

Agreed Maolsheachlann. I also think our philoislamic emigration and foreign policies are dangerous meddling in affairs that don't concern us and that could come back to bite us severely. Why doesn't our much lauded neutrality apply to the Middle East?
I would like to see controls on where new holders of passports go on their holidays (ie not to war zones or revolutionary riot zones). In addition we should be far more choosy about who gets a passport first of all and remove that passport if people get up to terrorist related activity.

I am sincerely happy that the guy isn't guilty. If the Muslim Brotherhood should be banned is a different story but the Egyptian jails must be dreadful. I am glad he will be out soon.

That's seriously dangerous under the Detuerte presidency, the state really must intervene to save this man.

To Hell and Back - Justine mc carthy in todays Sunday Times p21 informs us
Dublin lad (and son of the Iman at clonskeagh mosque and moslem brotherhood member) Ibrahim Halawa wrote a letter to Leo Varadkar
"You have given me hope that maybe some day I can lead my country and become Taoiseach to repay all my people for standing by me"
If that day ever dawns I will be on the first jet to anywhere far far away.
Minister Zappone said " if he does wish to pursue a parliamentary career, she will arrange an intern position for Halawa (gombeen jobbery in other words) in Leinster House".
Where do you start to deal with this insanity which will be ignored by the mainstream media? Feminist liberals in alliance with islamofascists and a moslem Imans son telling our Gay taoiseach i hope to replace you some day. If that day happens we will have another repeal referendum exccept this time it will be to repeal anything in the constitution that is not compliant with Sharia Law.
And Ireland's most compassionate female journalist is so pleased at promoting her human rights credentials.

And when they come to power, they'll take Katherine Zappone with them...to the top of Liberty Hall...

I am probably over analysing all this but this shows the incredible self confidence or perhaps arrogance of this young man that he may become the leader of the former Gaelic Catholic Irish state. I wonder where he has got this vision from?
I can't imagine many Irish ex pats in Egypt or Saudi Arabia aspiring to run those states.

You may not like his political views (I don't) but Halawa was born here and is an Irish citizen, he is certainly entitled to Irish diplomatic protection. Also, that fact that he was acquitted by a regime that is less than democratic surely says something about his innocence.

Perhaps his father should have been more careful in encouraging 3 of his children into a revolutionary and highly dangerous situation? Context is everything in this story which has received highly one sided coverage in our media hence the rather critical comments from some of us rather more sceptical old codgers.

Yes, it's embarrassing how Irish commentators have vied to outdo each other in this regard.
