Once, just once, I'd really like it if someone in the Irish Media challenged Dav Quinn about the rise in Far Right Christian terrorism globally.
Right Wing Christian terrorism is the single biggest cause of domestic terrorism in the US> https://www.theguardian.com/world/2020/oct/22/white-supremacists-rightwing-domestic-terror-2020
The type of conservative Catholicism that Dav Quinn practices, has been linked to the growing rise of paranoia, white extremism, and violence in the US https://www.typeinvestigations.org/investigation/2020/10/30/deep-state-deep-church-how-qanon-and-trumpism-have-infected-the-catholic-church/
This isn't something that has spontaneously emerged in Donald Trump's Presidency. White Supremacism, & Southern Evangelism's relationship with white supremacy predates the civil war, & has permeated America society & government ever since. https://twitter.com/JYSexton/status/1246812989061242882?s=20
And they've exported this problem globally. American Southern Evangelicals were behind the Irish constitutional ban on Abortion in 1983. And 40 years later they're still pouring money & resources into anti-abortion campaigns globally, like now in Poland. https://twitter.com/artimusfoul/status/1322500378605375488?s=20
And Dav Quinn isn't just tangentially related to this extremist Christian agenda. A founder of Dav's "Iona Institute" was the leader of Legistas Ireland. The organisation founded by an Opus Dei promoting a highly conservative branch of Christianity. http://bocktherobber.com/2013/06/what-exactly-is-the-iona-institute/
So yeah, next time a Christian fundamentalist & white supremacist decides to go on a shooting rampage, (which is a pretty likely scenario in the next 7 days) I'd really like to see Dav gets brought on and held to the same standards that he thinks Muslims should be held to.
