Man arrested over North Ireland anti-Islam loyalist bonfire effigy

MOYGASHEL, UK: Northern Irish police arrested a man on Thursday after a replica mosque was placed on a bonfire in an anti-Islam stunt in a village in the UK province. Bonfires made up of wooden pallets are lit across Northern Ireland every year in the run-up to Orange Order traditional parades on July 12 that mark a Protestant victory over Catholics in 1690. Some of the pyres spark controversy as Irish flags, effigies, anti-Catholic and anti-immigration signs are often placed on the bonfires before they are set alight.
