    She'll be famous before tomorrow. People are idiots.
    Hope we hear her voice, to be tarnished like this is unacceptable.

    And the comments are pitiful .
    Such blatant racism, girl could be ringing a loved one to make sure they are ok. Literally 0% chance that this would be trending on twitter if she was white

    Depends on what's meant by worse. If the IRA were still fighting in the UK a lot of the ISIS attacks there would look like childs play. Someone in a car with a knife? That's amateur hour compared to the IRA.

    I have been more at risk from the IRA in my life then any ISIS crowd.

    Probably because you live in Ireland, not Germany or France.

    I agree with that, the most influential terrorist organization in the 80's in a CIA report was the IRA because no one knew who they were and those that did kept silent. Nobody was ever caught for aiming a bazooka at MI5, and they never waved Snackbar flags. Amatures.

    Ironically, imo, the CIA are the biggest terrorist group of them all.

    You distinguished being Irish from religion on the basis that the latter is an ideology. But the manifestation of pride in being Irish, or British, or whatever nationality, is nationalism. And that is an ideology.

    Yeah, because no other state were going to designate them a terrorist organisation because they wouldn't pay their subscriptions.

    So, still just one human being who perpetrated this atrocity? No news on his religion, nationality, race, motivation, mental health? Just a human being, so far.

    Not much to discuss so, unless you make lots of assumptions and generalisations. Lots of spicy stuff to talk about then. Gets the old righteous indignation juices flowing.

    **** off. You're not in more danger of the IRA than ISIS, because the former doesn't exist anymore. ISIS does. Your argument is already invalid. But this isn't about YOU. The people who were attacked today, and those who died, were victims of a Muslim doing what the Quran says. The IRA didn't follow any holy book in their actions, ISIS does. You can't possibly compare them, nor is there any reason to.

    The IRA never targeted America for obvious reasons, so complaining that Irish people aren't being banned from America as well as Muslims is stupid. Not to mention the fact that Irish is a nationality, Islam is an ideology, and a violent one at that.

    You surely understand that nationalism is an ideology?

    Were you being serious or were you being facetious. I'm not sure if I'm falling for something in explaining the very very very obvious...

    Yes you implied it wasn't an ideology even though you didn't specifically say it

    Does the Koran tell people to randomly kill innocent people? I didn't know that. You learn something new every day.

    It's turning into Ireland in the end of the 1960's at the moment, keep an eye on their governments back off and media attitude to some of the horrendous stuff going on there, it'll be Belfast in the early 70's there soon.

    Depends. PIRA doesn't but there are offshoots. They planted bombs during the queens visit. And wasn't a huge bomb found then? #

    Not to mention they're involved in the drugs war in dublin which has claimed a load of lives.

    An d they're still bombing up north. They were considered a threat during the 1916 celebrations.

    Not getting involved in this pro/anti IRA debate, but with regard to the IRA being poorly educated, I think you actually may be incorrect.

    I recall reading from some terrorist specialist in either the UK or US that the sole difference between the IRA and Loyalist paramilitaries was the fact that whilst the Loyalists spent time exercising their muscles, the Provos spent time exercising their minds.

    Now, back to Mayo football for me.
    Bye.

    Indeed. So he's one of about 4,000,000,000 people so.

    Are you retarded? Islam is an ideology. Being Irish doesn't automatically make you a nationalist. In fact, the IRA were socialists.

    The claim was that if America are going to ban all Muslims because of their VIOLENT ideology called Islam, then America should ban all Irish people because they might be in the IRA. Not all Irish people support the IRA. All Muslims support the Quran, which has 110 verses telling them to kill non-Muslims.
    Being Irish is not a choice.
    Being a Muslim is a choice.
    Being Irish doesn't make you an IRA supporter.
    Being a Muslim makes you a violent ideology supporter.
    That's what my post was about.

    With that said, no one is trying to ban all Muslims and no one said all Muslims are bad. I'm sick and tired of debunking liberals' flawed logic on their strawman arguments.

    Individuals can be unhinged. The human mind is a crazy thing given any circumstance.

    This isn't new it's just a new thing to hang a hook on . Islam. Another 2 decades we will find the next big thing to blame the unhinged individual on.

    If someone were to run a correlation on terrorism world wide and look for characteristics possessed in common by these 'unhinged' terrorists, being followers of Islam would likely pop up as a common factor, up there with walking on two legs and breathing air.

    So if it were found that this Islam seems to cause the very dangerous unhinging of minds, it might perhaps be appropriate to consider treating it as we do other mind-altering substances like ICE and other class A drugs.

    Thanks for bringing this unhinging to our attention.

    To be fair there was a photo of a guy with police training guns on him. He looked like he was from around the subcontinent or there abouts.

    That's about all we have though.
