Are Catholics Christians?
Don't let facts get in the way of your bullcrap
"Local Gardaí initially surmised that any bones on the site likely dated from the Great Famine in the 19th-century: "These are historical burials going back to famine times. There is no suggestion of any impropriety"
Yes.
Not according to some.
His twitter echo chamber doesn't deal in facts.
They have been brainwashed by a religion which has no consequences for doing this kind of thing and their leaders speak out against measures taken to try and stop it.
Imagine the world if a country like Iran was the major power. It would be every bit as bad as the Nazis running the place.

RIP to the victims. 
The long-term solution will require a cultural shift in the Muslim world, whereby committing such atrocities is condemned and rejected rather than promoted and celebrated (or, at the very least, not quietly supported).
For example, attitudes will need to change so that people don’t get so offended by a cartoon that they are prepared to kill the cartoonist(s).
This will not happen overnight and it will not be easy.
How we in the west help facilitate that change is an even harder question.
Not bombing the **** out of predominantly Muslim countries would be a good start. But, more importantly, we need our economies (and societies) to properly recover from the 2008 financial crisis.
The type of men who are radicalised into committing these heinous crimes are poor, poorly educated and disenfranchised — they feel let down by, or left out of the system, and they are easy prey for deceitful propaganda that tells them it’s not their fault, radical Islam has the answer and they will be rewarded for attacking the west.
Francis Fukuyama’s recent book ‘Identity’ does a good job of explaining how Islamic extremists, neo-Nazis and the most woke SJWs have a lot in common at a fundamental psychological level — in fact, we all do. Everyone wants recognition, respect and dignity; from others and to feel self-respect for ourselves.
If circumstances result in a person (or group) losing their self-respect and the recognition of others, then they will turn to people who will given them the dignity they crave — often, the people who welcome them in have nefarious intentions and can convince them to perform unspeakable acts against those who they blame for causing the problem(s) in the first place.
Shutting mosques or putting Muslims in concentration camps is only going to exacerbate the issue.
It’s a massive, multi-faceted problem for which there are no easy or quick solutions.

No, you don't. Please let me know when was the last mass shooting where they specifically said they did it in the name of Jesus. Go on, i'll wait.
Nothing to do with religion yet their final

Islam likes to mention the crusades and how barbaric they were and how brutal and unhinged the Christians were of the time, while failing to mention the huge number of Jihads and invasions into Europe that the Crusades were partly a response too.

These crimes have nothing to do with Religion.
Just sub-human beings, using religion as an excuse for these atrocities
lol, I only came here to play islamic terrorist bingo.
"nothing to do with islam"
"mental illness"
"not real muslims"
"foreign policy"
We had them all yet?
I suppose the frequent attacks by muslims in, Egypt, Pakistan, India, Nigeria, DRC, Mali, Somalia, Niger..... are also nothing to do with religion?

You forgot "religion of peace"
Why do muslims go nuts when their religion is critisised or they see a cartoon of Mohammed? Genuine question.
I think Islam needs to start modernising, they're going to continually have these greviances otherwise and probably need to get over it.
I guess at least there have only been one or two victims in the recent attacks, we haven't seen a "truck of peace" type attack, I dunno if that is lack of resources/planning on the part of the attackers or improvements to bollards/street furniture etc.. in urban locations...
It is quite bonkers really that these days, urban planners now need to consider "can we put a large, heavy, flower pot on this corner big enough to stop a crazy lunatic in a truck from deliberately mowing down pedestrians".
It is good that Macron is standing up to this nonsense, it might be good if the cartoons are shown more often perhaps... lots of people need to learn a lesson here, that ideas aren't beyond criticism and that you don't have any inherent right to not be offended - that applies to not just the terrorist attackers and people supporting them but anyone else who will start kicking off and causing unrest&property damage etc.. because of a cartoon.

There should have been a blanket response from everyone, every newspaper, media outlet etc. to publish the cartoons en masse for the first Charlie Hebdo incident. There simply is no debate to be had on this. Like it or lump it. No-one and no group is immune from criticism. Had I have been the head of a paper that needed to make that decision though? Well I can see why you wouldn't obviously. That's why the response should have been a united one.
Are you saying the 800 bodies found at the Mother & Baby Homes were in fact different bodies and that in fact the 800 bodies are from the 19th century famine? Or...?
I'm so confused by what you're trying to say. I really mean this.
