Immigrants, Immigration and Crime in Ireland

May 29, 2007

               I have just come across an article from The Irish Examiner about how the crime figures are dropping in Poland due to emigration from that country. In the first half of 2006 crime in Poland fell to the extent that there were 4,500 fewer crimes. This was part of a continuing trend. Unfortunately the Irish Dept. of Justice does not keep figures as to the ethnicity of criminals so we just don’t know how this relates to Ireland. But it’s reasonable that criminals like many others follow the money and as the money for now is to be made in Ireland then we probably have our fair share of Polish criminals here.
            There are no figures for Muslim criminals in Ireland or Britain either. This is due to the fact that even to attempt to collect such statistics would be regarded as racist or islamaphobic. There is however no shortage of circumstantial evidence that in Britain the number of Muslim men , young Muslim men that is , engaged in crime is now quite significant and not just any form of crime but noticeably rape drug pushing and crimes of that nature. In Ireland most of us are only too familiar with the attitude some Muslim men have toward young western women who it is not uncommon to hear being referred to as sluts etc. etc. Considering the fact that many Muslims have no respect for the western way of life and a contempt for western women in particular it should not be a surprise to anyone that crimes against women should feature  as a characteristic of the Muslim criminal. We are all aware of the reality of this phenomena but we dare not express these opinions in public. And as there are no official figures either way it means that it is impossible to prove any of this. The fact that it is obvious to anyone who cares to look at the situation makes no difference as there are so many who have no intention of even accepting the possibility that all this may be true.
            It’s ironic and sad also that so many people who would think of themselves as progressive are so prejudiced in matters such as this that they are constantly to be found looking for imagined prejudice in others. Having sold their souls in return for a place on the property ladder they now have a compulsion to prove to the world (and themselves) that behind their slavish submission to materialism and greed that they are in fact ‘liberal’ and ‘progressive’.
        Unfortunately there does not seem to be any solution to this in the short or even the longer term. In the meantime immigration figures will continue to rise in response to the demand for cheap labour. The social and other problems that will follow from this will become more critical and all crime both home grown and imported will increase. The new class of property speculators who make up the so called middle class will in the meantime insulate themselves even further as they move to yet even more private estates with private security.
