Dublin: Social media campaigns claiming that the Islamic Labour Party of Ireland has been formed in the Christian-majority country of Ireland to operate based on Sharia law and aims to establish a shadow government in the country have been proven to be baseless. Such a political party does not officially exist in Ireland.
Key facts:
- No official recognition: The Electoral Commission (An Coimisiún Toghcháin), the country's electoral authority, has confirmed that there is no registered political party in Ireland under the name 'Islamic Labour Party'. As it is not registered, this organisation has no legal standing to contest elections in Ireland or be included on the ballot paper.
- The website is the only reality: A widespread campaign on social media is based on information from a website called islamicparty.ie , which recently appeared on the internet . The site promotes economic and social reforms from an Islamic perspective and the idea of a 'shadow government'.
- Unknown source: There is no information about who is behind this website or who its leaders or officers are.
- Many sections of the website are blank. No major Muslim organizations or leaders in Ireland have made any claims in this regard.
In short, this is just a misunderstanding following claims on a website created by anonymous individuals; it is clear that no such recognized political party or 'shadow government' has been formed in Ireland.
