Bréagnaithe: Níl níos mó Moslamach in Éirinn ná daoine atá ina gcónaí i gceantair Ghaeltachta

Bhíothas a mhaíomh ar líne le déanaí go bhfuil Moslamaigh níos líonmhaire ná daonra na Gaeltachta.

BHÍ RÁITIS BHRÉAGACHA á roinnt go fairsing ar líne ina maítear go bhfuil daonra Moslamach in Éirinn anois atá níos mó ná líon na ndaoine atá ina gcónaí i gceantair Ghaeltachta.

Bhí na ráitis sin ag dul thart ón 14 Deireadh Fómhair, nuair a roinn roinnt cuntas ar X grafaic ina raibh léarscáil na hÉireann taispeánta agus na réigiúin Ghaeltachta dá cuid aibhsithe i ndath glas.

Bhí dhá staitistic sa ghrafaic freisin: ceann amháin a dúirt “Daonra na Gaeltachta 106,000 agus ceann eile a dúirt “Daonra Moslamach: 112,000″.

Tá an léarscáil seo in éineacht le faisnéis bréagach á scaipeadh ar líne le gairid.

Ach tá an figiúr a bhaineann le daonra Moslamach na hÉireann mícheart, áfach.

De réir na Príomh-Oifige Staidrimh (CSO) , bhí 81,930 Moslamach in Éirinn nuair a rinneadh daonáireamh 2022.

Taispeántar i dtorthaí an Daonáirimh chéanna go raibh 106,220 duine ina gcónaí i gceantair Ghaeltachta i nDún na nGall, i Maigh Eo, i nGaillimh, i gCiarraí, i gCorcaigh, i bPort Láirge agus sa Mhí.

Taifeadadh 1,873,997 duine freisin ar fud na tíre iomláine agus iad ag rá go raibh siad in ann an Ghaeilge a labhairt, coibhéiseach le timpeall 40% de dhaonra iomlán na hÉireann níos sine ná trí bliana d’aois.

Níl staitisticí ar bith ar fáil maidir le líon na Moslamach in Éirinn atá ina gcónaí i gceantair Ghaeltachta, nó maidir le líon na Moslamach in Éirinn atá ina gcainteoirí Gaeilge; ní dhéanann an Phríomh-Oifig Staidrimh an leibhéal crostagartha sin a éascú.

Tugtar tacaíocht do theoiric chomhcheilge an Ionadaithe Mhóir leis an maíomh sin, rud a mhaíonn go bhfuil daoine geala, dúchasacha san Eoraip á n-ionadú ag imircigh neamhgheala, agus iad ina ndaoine Arabacha nó Afracacha go minic, agus go bhfuil sé sin á bheartú ag grúpa scothaicmí cumhachtacha.

Bíonn sé sin ina ghné go minic de mhífhaisnéis faoi Mhoslamaigh agus faoi dhaoine neamhgheala, agus nuair a mhaítear freisin go bhfuil cultúr nó oidhreacht tíre dúchasaí ‘á scriosadh’ ag inimirce nó ag éagsúlacht.

Roinneadh an íomhá ina bhfuil na staitisticí míchearta arís agus arís eile ó rinneadh í a phostáil den chéad uair ar na meáin shóisialta.

Ar X, áit ar thosaigh an maíomh de réir dealraimh, breathnaíodh ar phostálacha ina bhfuil an íomhá níos mó ná 200,000 uair.

Roinneadh an íomhá freisin go mion minic ar Facebook agus ar Instagram, agus taispeánann anailísíocht Meta gur breathnaíodh uirthi go carnach níos mó ná deich míle uair ar an dá ardán.

Tugadh na staitisticí míchearta arís ar Gemini fiú, uirlis forbhreathnaithe IS Google tar éis do The Journal a fhiafraí ar Google cé acu an raibh Moslamaigh níos líonmhaire ná daoine ina gcónaí i gceantair Ghaeltachta.

Ach níl aon fhoinse chóir ann, áfach, don mhaíomh go raibh níos mó ná 106,000 Moslamach ina gcónaí in Éirinn sa bhliain 2022.
