The BBC has uncovered startling revelations that Ireland is seen as a legitimate target by Islamist terrorists on account of the fact that American military planes are allowed to land here.
It has been discovered that Omar Bakri Mohammed, who was been banned from Britain last year, is holding online discussions with would-be Islamist terrorists. He previously ran the radical al-Muhajiroun group from London until it was proscribed.
During an online question and answer session, someone asked Omar Bakri Mohammed if Dublin Airport should be a terrorist target because US troops stop there on their way to Iraq.
He replied: "Hit the target and hit it very hard, that issue should be understood. Your situation there is quite difficult therefore the answer lies in your question."
This sends out a clear message, as if any were needed, that US military planes must not be allowed to land in Ireland.
Ireland is a neutral country, and should not be seen as taking sides in any international conflict. The revelations also show the danger posed by MI5's planned arrival in Northern Ireland, which will spread the terrorist threat from London to this part of the world.
It is time for Irish people to stand together. We've had enough violence in this country- the last thing we need is to suffer because of other people's misadventures. ElBlogador.com

Its fine with me whatever the Irish people decide, but allowing military planes to land at Shannon is not taking sides in a war just because Al Queda says so.
These planes were landing before September 11, and if they're welcome, they'll be landing long after the Islamic terrorists are defeated, not that this will happen tomorrow morning.
The US military has helped keep the peace in Western Europe for the entire post WW2 period, for the benefit of all, including Ireland.
I'd welcome them.
And I would not think appeasing suicide bombers will have any lasting benefit, either.

That is pure rubbish - Irish foreign policy should be based on something more than doing what ever will keep us out of the bad book of terrorists.
I wouldn't be getting your knickers in a twist over what someone thinks someone has said on the internet.
You don't think this is actually a rather convenient ploy to gain Irish support for the "War Against Terrorism"? I do.
I like many others would like to see your prediction come true, even loyalists.
Safiya i agree with you, we need to step back and just think about who has made these comments and the unlikely chances that they would in any way be carried out. Sounds like an effort to minipulate the policies of ireland and the mind set of its people.
