MCI statement following the flying of Nazi flags near Mosque in Dunmurry

Written By Laura Kerr

On behalf of the Methodist Church in Ireland the President, the Rev David Turtle has condemned the flying of Nazi flags in the vicinity of the Mosque in Dunmurry.  These flags have no place anywhere in Northern Ireland but it is particularly offensive when they are used to frighten or intimidate religious minorities in our midst.  

We encourage all in our community to help the PSNI in their investigation of these disgraceful actions and we offer our prayerful support to all who feel threatened by them.    


Rev David Turtle
President of the Methodist Church in Ireland

Chair of the Northern Executive
