Celtic people are disgusted by ISIL

Submitted by Douglas MacQueen on November 16, 2014 - 11:47pm

There has been worldwide condemnation in regard to the revolting murders undertaken today by the cult known as ISIS. This dreadful organised band of murdering thugs that call themselves Islamic State  are a bunch of evil killers. Nothing should be said to excuse their disgusting behaviour. There is no excuse. We all need to think of those minorities who are being abused, murdered and displaced by this gang of killers. All support from the Celtic peoples goes to the the Kurdish fighters who stand against this murdering scum.

So they think it is a great thing to have posted pictures of mass murder (they call it beheading)! These grinning idiots who have perpetrated these crimes are very warped and evil people. Our sympathy goes out to the families and friends of those murdered today by ISIL (Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant). Our sympathy also goes out to the minority peoples across Syria and Iraq suffering mass extermination at the hands of this disgusting cult.

How can anyone not be outraged by the so called Islamic State of ISIL. Lets not mince words here, these people are scum! Anyone that has seen their trail of destruction and murder across Syria and Iraq can be nothing but disgusted. Our sympathy and support goes to all of the minority peoples that have suffered at the hands of this revolting organisation.

Using data from the Unesco Languages in Danger project a list drawn up by  Christopher Moseley, University College London School of Slavonic and East European Studies points to 33 languages in Europe in danger.

However, Manx (Mannin/Isle of Man) and Cornish (Kernow/Cornwall) are pointed out as examples of what can be done to support languages seen to be at risk. In both Celtic nations concerted efforts are being undertaken to promote their languages.

Submitted by Douglas MacQueen on November 13, 2014 - 11:20pm

Alex Salmond undertook his final session of First Minister's questions at the Scottish Parliament today. There can be no doubt that his achievements have been staggering since he became leader of the Scottish National Party in 1990. At that time there was not a Scottish Parliament, Scotland was ruled by Malcolm Rifkind the Tory Secretary of State and the Scottish National Party had only four MP's (Members of Parliament) in Westminster, the UK Parliament.

Dumfries and Galloway (Scottish Gaelic: Dùn Phrìs is Gall-Ghaidhealaibh) is a unitary council area in south-west Scotland. It is an area known for its natural beauty made up of forests, coastline, shores, hills, estuaries and winding rivers all with an abundance of wildlife. It has Scotland’s most southerly point, the Mull of Galloway (Scottish Gaelic: Maol nan Gal), from which can be seen clear views of the nations of Ireland and Isle of Man. The part of Dumfries and Galloway that is Galloway (Scottish Gaelic: an Gall-Ghaidhealaibh) is now made up the the historic counties of Stewartry of Kirkcudbright and Wigtownshire. The area  has a rich history and the remains of prehistoric monuments and carvings can be found, including the Drumtroddan Cup and Ring Carvings, Drumtroddan Standing Stones and neolithic chambered cairn of Cairnholy. It also has some  place-names derived from the Brythonic Celtic language and links to the Pictish people.

Kingdom of Galloway

At one time it was known as the Kingdom of Galloway. A Kingdom which at periods covered a much larger area than the present area that we know as Galloway. Including parts of southern Ayrshire (Scottish Gaelic: Siorrachd Inbhir Àir), Carrick (Scottish Gaelic: A' Charraig), Nithsdale (Scottish Gaelic: Strath Nid), The Stewartry of Kirkcudbright (Scottish Gaelic: Cille Chuithbeirt), Nithsdale; Scottish (Gaelic: Srath Nid) and beyond. The Gaelic origins of the name of Galloway gives an indication of the influence of Norse-Gaels (people of Gaelic and Scandinavian origin). As such, for a significant period it was associated with the other Norse-Gael lands of the Hebrides, Isle of Man, Dublin and the Kingdom of Man and the Isles.
