That’s got to be a parody account, surely?
Maybe she doesn’t have any daughters, or nieces. Personally, if I never see a pink item of clothing or a unicorn again, it’ll be too soon.

Sadly, she’s just a parody of humanity.

Honestly if you are going to tar an entire religion or culture based on the misogyny of some of its adherents, may I remind everyone that Ireland only removed their constitutional amendment that prohibited abortion in 2018.

But they did remove it.
She recently had her YouTube account temporarily banned, and promptly opened a second account, thus netting both accounts a permaban on account of trying to circumvent a ban.
Since then she’s been camped outside Google HQ in Dublin almost every day, ranting into a megaphone to varying (but thankfully always small) numbers of supporters. A few days ago a bunch of LGBT activists set up on her spot before she could get there, and when she arrived she brandished a crucifix at them, and then played “Does your Mother Know” by ABBA at high volume from a PA to try and drown out their chanting.
(pretty sure she and her followers haven’t listened to the lyrics of that particular song)
And it took a massive effort and years of ceaseless campaigning to get the government to listen to us.

Oh, and less than 24 hours after O’Doherty tweeted out a list of mosques in Ireland, one in Galway was defaced this morning. As incompetent and laughable as she herself can be and often is, the people she’s enabling are dangerous.

I think that’s the first time I referred to the residents of the land of my birth as “they”. Sad.
Stateside we were coordinating efforts to get expats cheap tickets to fly home for the vote, and to provide alibis for those who had to leave work to fly home (usually under the auspices of family emergencies and whatnot).

And I probably wasn’t clear enough that my point was that it’s wrong to judge millions or billions of people based on something like a rule written down in a book (or a constitution). It’s absurd to think that everyone believes it. If I’d judged people of Irish heritage to be misogynist because of that part of the constitution in 2018 I’d have been roundly shown to be a fool when they voted 2 to 1 to repeal it.
That was a big victory, and in the international effort was amazing.

Where does that occur anywhere in the developed world?
No liquor stores at all?
I have lived in dry towns, but that’s more of a Christianist thing than an Islamist thing

Because that’s BIGOTRY, which isn’t allowed here on this site; what part of that do you not understand?

There you go. The areas where you are likely to find a halal grocer are also ones not likely to be “dry towns”. You don’t really see it in areas with large immigrant or minority religion populations.

From what I heard, it is only eaten by drunken tourists. Icelanders steer clear of it.
Much like their local spirit Brennivín. (The stuff tastes like Aqua Velva)

When I was there, I had the same thought. I imagine the servers in the kitchen snickering “Ha! The Americans with the Fodors book out on the table just ordered it! Go dig some up from the bottom of the freezer”.

It’s not a Christian store, it’s Muslim.
