Bonfire with Mosque Effigy Sparks Outcry | London News

In Northern Ireland’s Moygashel, a controversial bonfire this Friday features a mosque effigy and anti-immigrant slogans, sparking outrage from Amnesty International and police, who arrested a 56-year-old man for allegedly inciting hatred. The event, part of annual Battle of the Boyne celebrations, reflects a troubling shift toward anti-Muslim and anti-immigrant messaging, echoing recent race riots and a national climate of rising tension. Organizers claim it’s a political protest against immigration policy, citing human rights, while politicians and faith groups condemn it as hate-motivated. This comes amid fears of escalating extremism, including a recent mosque arson plot in the Republic of Ireland. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
