Gay Man Condones Burning Of "Mosque" On Loyalist Bonfire
About this episode
The episode discusses the controversy surrounding a loyalist bonfire featuring a mock-up mosque and the reactions it has provoked.
A loyalist bonfire in Moygashel, Co. Tyrone has sparked outrage after a mock-up mosque was placed on top with the slogan “secure our borders, end the threat of radical Islam” — and it was set alight early when police moved to remove it. Adrian and Jeremy ask: is this pure sectarian, hate-filled carry on… or “just a bonfire” making a political point? One gay listener says he struggles to feel sympathy because of Islam’s attitude to LGBTQ people, while others rip into the hypocrisy of “patriots” down south cheering on the same loyalists who burn tricolours, the Pope and the Virgin Mary.
