A loyalist bonfire in Moygashel, Northern Ireland, features a mosque replica and anti-immigration signs ahead of Orange Order celebrations, drawing criticism.
In the town of Moygashel, Northern Ireland, a loyalist bonfire has been erected featuring a replica mosque and signs with anti-immigration messages. The signs read "Secure our borders" and "End the threat of radical Islam." The installation has drawn criticism, as similar controversial symbols appeared at the same site in previous years. Bonfires are traditionally lit across Northern Ireland ahead of Orange Order parades on 12 July, marking the anniversary of the 1690 Battle of the Boyne. The events remain an important part of loyalist culture but often spark debate over political messages displayed at some sites.
