Statement on the crisis at ICCI

The Irish Muslim Peace & Integration Council views the closure of the Islamic Cultural Centre of Ireland (ICCI) not as an isolated incident, but as the culmination of three decades of failed leadership, where personal interests were consistently placed above the needs of the community. This institution, gifted to the Muslims of Ireland by the Al-Maktoum Foundation, was meant to be a thriving hub of faith, education, and unity. Instead, it has been stifled by mismanagement, exclusion, and a lack of vision, preventing it from ever reaching its true potential. For too long, the ICCI has been controlled by individuals who prioritised power over service, division over unity, and stagnation over progress, including elements with ties to the Muslim Brotherhood, an organisation banned in multiple Arab states for its exploitation of religion for political ends. The result? A mosque that fails to represent the diversity of Irish Muslims, an administration that neglects its financial and moral accountability, and a leadership that has alienated the very community it was meant to serve. This moment must be a turning point. We pray

Condolences on the passing of HH Pope Francis

In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful Dear friends of the Catholic faith community, It is with profound sadness that we have learned of the passing of His Holiness Pope Francis. On behalf of the Irish Muslim Peace & Integration Council and the Islamic Centre of Ireland, I extend our heartfelt condolences and share in your grief during this sorrowful time. Pope Francis was a beacon of peace, compassion, and unity. His tireless calls for dialogue, justice, and love for one’s neighbour inspired millions around the world, transcending faith and background. His humility, wisdom, and unwavering commitment to the marginalised and vulnerable made him a guiding light for humanity. His departure is a profound loss not only for the Catholic Church but for all who strive for a more just and compassionate world. We remember with deep gratitude his historic efforts in fostering interfaith harmony and his message of solidarity, which resonated with people of all beliefs. His leadership in promoting understanding and cooperation among religions has left an enduring legacy that will continue to inspire
