Excerpt:
The Islamic Cultural Centre Ireland (ICCI), based in Dublin's Clonskeagh, has strongly condemned Islamic State (IS), which , it says, is acting contrary to the teachings of Islam.
In a statement it states that "in full conformity with Islamic teachings" it "vehemently abhors and deplores terrorism of all kinds regardless of the perpetrators' race and faith."
The statement comes a day after the Islamic State posted a video showing the American journalist James Foley being beheaded.
