Muslims in Irish protest against IS atrocities

Muslims from different parts of the country are to hold a “Not in our Name” demonstration on Dublin’s O’Connell Street in protest against the atrocities inspired by terror group Islamic State.

Organisers said Muslims should not remain silent while the terrorists damaged Islam and sought to define it as a “barbaric religion”.

Community leaders said Islamaphobia was “increasing rapidly” due to the atrocities and pointed out that three Irish citizens had been murdered in the attack in Tunisia.
