Ummm..... This has absolutely nothing to do with 9-11. And just because the people who did it were Muslim, it doesnt mean all Muslims are bad. There are terrible people who do unthinkalbe things who just happen to be Christian. That doesnt make all Christians bad either. There will always be people who do bad things. There isnt one religion that has no followers whatsoever who do bad things. And even though I dont believe in either of the religions, I still respect them.
Wonderful video and song; thank you for posting. Shame that some just can't enjoy beauty for its own sake, but feel such a compulsion to interject their political or religious views. Life's too short, people; enjoy the loveliness while you can and get the mud out of your eyes.
I love this my mammy is from near Carrick an gCarraig.
I believewhat these messianic religions tend to forget is that before them there was no messiah, and that paganism in it's purest form (without murder and mayhem) still survives in western Europe. Christianity in Ireland draws on a lot of pagan symbolism whether it likes it or not,. We all have a road to take, don't be drawn away from it by bitterness.
Islams prophet, Mohammed, was a paedophile and raped women. He cut the heads of 600-800 people. He was a sly bully who used trickery and lies.
He maintained that getting your way by any means possible was acceptable. He made up islam as he went along and broke his own earlier rules when it suited him.
Muslims see him as the perfect man and look to follow his example.
Islam is not a religion, it is a cult of oppression & bullying. look up islam-watch. Org
And just WHAT does that have to do with me and my people? I'm Irish, you chode, and nothing in this video has a damned thing to do with Islam. Hell, we were forced into Christianity by the blade of a sword, and then murdered en masse for it, and then back into it again. I hail the old pagan beliefs of my ancestors; The solstices and equinoxes are more meaningful to me than you christian ways will ever be, because my people loved everything around them. Not just YOUR false prophet.
Islam is the faith that has been spread at the edge of the sword, from 624 CE in Badr to 2009 in Iraq, the Sudan, Afghanistan, India, Indonesia, Thailand, the Philippines and everywhere else that violent Islamist fanatics murder "infidels" for the sake of their bloodthirsty primitive faith.
You may not like facing reality... That's your misfortune, and none of our own. But more people are murdered today in the name of "Allah" than by all other religions put together.
As impressed as I am sure I must be by your geopolitical knowledge, what does your filthy racism/sectarianism against muslims have to do with this song?
In other words, you had fuck-all in the way of an intelligent response, and had to come out crying little a wee little twat that I was being mean to the poor little Muzzies who are involved in fundy murder and terror all over the world.
Take your mincing politically correct shite on the road to someplace where anyone gives a fuck.
Could I recommend Peshawar?
I'm sure they'll be happy to hear you out, before they saw your head off with a knife.
Are you sure? I heard a version on amazon that sounds the exact same (hard to tell since they give you such a short preview) Sounds to me like Sissel.
I did go wrong. There's a fiddle tune called exactly the same and it had been played by Julia Clifford so many years ago. Instead, this is another great celtic song, with a vocalist and just the same title ;)
"An Raibh Tú ag an gCairraig" is a very old traditional tune, dating from the days of the English Protestant oppression of Irish Catholics; "the Rock" (an gCairraig) is a "Mass Rock" where native Irish gathered to celebrate Mass under threat of prison or death at the hands of the English.
Some lazy rich cunts, "sky37blue" for example, like to pretend that their ancestors never suffered for their faith, and that all the trouble in the world today is the fault of Western civilization.
Oh yes I agree with you about the song and what it alludes to - but for God sake, rich and lazy, you don't even know me - you sound like some kind of idiot.
I don't remember saying my ancestors never suffered for their faith, I am very aware of my history.
Actually, it's rather sad that some folks are so arrogant that they are unwilling to do even the most basic research on the subject...
"Different faiths" is the most basic and obvious difference, obvious to anyone willing to expend even the slightest effort towards educating his or her self before burbling out some worthless diarrhea in the place of intelligent commentary.
If you define your faith by the doctrines or teachings of a particular denomination, sect, group, etc then this is true. If you define your faith by the teachings of the religion, that the God of Abraham is God and sent His son to bear our sins on a cross to redeem us, that this God's Holy Spirits is still with us, that His son will return to us then that is a different matter. The latter are things all Christians can agree upon, regardless of doctrine and our disregard for one another.
So, you are saying that there is no sect of Christianity which has perfectly preserved the teachings of Christ, and, therefore, all these 'Christians' have to compromise on some of Christ's teachings in order to find common ground on which they can worship God? What confusion! Surely, Christ is the head of your 'churches', since you all know Him so well! Your idea of faith depends greatly on where you draw the line between Christian and not. I don't think this line is a Scriptural teaching.
Additionally, not all groups of people who claim to follow the Christian Scriptures (even those who just accept the Bible and nothing additional) agree on those points you just made. So, I ask, how do you know where to draw the line? Is it just where you decide to draw it? The Bible certainly doesn't say anything about dogmas that are ok for us to disagree on so long as we agree on a certain subset of dogmas.
It is the Catholic Church that guarantees the Bible and not vice versa. A lot of people who know a lot about the Bible know next to nothing about Church History. Learn Both. Siochan agus Gairdeas go deo.
A lot of the trouble in the world today IS the result of Western civilization. I dunno why, but the West got this idea that you could find God by taking a scholastic approach to religion. The only way to find God is to pray a lot and put your experiences of Him together. This is how the Eastern Orthodox do it - which is the original faith of the Celts before Rome corrupted all the West after its departure from the 4 Eastern Patriarchs that uphold the true Christian faith.

Name a single Irish "martyr" to Christianity.
More Irish people were murdered on 9-11 by Muslims than were ever killed by Saints Patrick, Columbcille or the rest of that crew.
