A mosque in a town near Belfast was also targeted late Friday. \u201cWe are scared at what may happen next, there is lots of hostility against the Muslim community,\u201d said the 28-year-old from Dubai, who did not want to give his full name citing safety reasons.<\/p>\n<p>Northern Ireland has seen nightly unrest, mainly in pro-UK loyalist neighbourhoods, that began after an anti-immigration protest in Belfast on August 3. The violence has mirrored disorder across England, spurred by misinformation spread on social media about the suspected perpetrator of a knife attack in Southport on July 29 which killed three children. The Police Service of Northern Ireland (PSNI) said Saturday that 31 people have been arrested during the disturbances.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOn a fundamental level the Belfast attacks are similar in its dynamic to anti-immigration protests in white working class areas in England, the Republic of Ireland and elsewhere in Europe,\u201d said Peter McLoughlin, a politics lecturer at Queens University Belfast. \u201cIt is driven by racism and fear of the other, but in Northern Ireland it also interfaces with sectarian political dynamics,\u201d he told AFP.<\/p>\n<p>Three decades of violent sectarian conflict known as the \u201cTroubles\u201d largely ended in 1998, but bitterness and frictions persist between pro-UK Protestant loyalists and pro-Irish unity Catholic nationalists. Outside Bashir\u2019s smoke-scarred shopfront in the staunchly loyalist inner-city district of Sandy Row, British Union Jack flags flutter on lampposts and painted wall murals proclaim fierce allegiance to the UK. \u201cWithin loyalism there is a sense that prevailed through Northern Ireland\u2019s peace process that their community is in retreat, that their community and British identity is under attack,\u201d McLoughlin explained.<\/p>\n<p>Many loyalists feel they \u201cmust oppose outsiders coming into those areas, who are seen as taking supposedly Protestant jobs and houses, and encroaching on a community that was once dominant,\u201d he added. After last Saturday\u2019s anti-immigration protest, rioters rampaged through streets looking for foreign-owned businesses to attack.<\/p>\n<p><a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.digitaljournal.com\/world\/n-ireland-violence-shocks-muslims-and-stokes-fears-over-sectarian-divides\/article\">Read more&gt;&gt;<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Source: <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.digitaljournal.com\/world\/n-ireland-violence-shocks-muslims-and-stokes-fears-over-sectarian-divides\/article\">DJ<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>The post <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\/csr-news-en\/n-ireland-violence-shocks-muslims-and-stokes-fears-over-sectarian-divides\/\">N.Ireland violence shocks Muslims and stokes fears over sectarian divides<\/a> appeared first on <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\">Vastuullisuusuutiset.fi<\/a>.<\/p>","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[22],"tags":[555,8126,15648],"class_list":["post-132974","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news","tag-csr-news-en","tag-muslims","tag-n-ireland-violence-shocks"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/132974","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=132974"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/132974\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=132974"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=132974"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=132974"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
