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.

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.

Notavirus.exe wrote: » **** 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.

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.

I can't claim to have read the bible cover to cover but there was all sorts of stuff in the Old Testament so yeah - genocide, would not surprise me. Think the 10 Commandments might have later prohibited that... I haven't heard of many atrocities in the modern era being committed by Christians taking those centuries old scriptures literally though.

Grayson wrote: » What are western values? We were ruled by monarchies until recently. In the last hundred years the continent has gone through imperialism, communism and fascism. It's gone through socialist stages and neo liberalism. Until very recently people could be locked up for being gay. In this country we went through oppression, mass immigration, penal laws, and multiple wars. When we finally got independence we went through years of the abuse of children and women in state/church institutions. That's besides the sh1tstorm that is the north. The English controlled half the globe, killed millions and stole their resources. At one point they fought a war over the right to sell opium. The middle east has been under the control of Europe and then a string of dictators that were helped by Europe and the US. In Iraq alone millions have died as a result of wars and sanctions. What are these western values? All the good ones are only around in the last 30-40 years since the end of the second world war and the founding of the EU. Even then we haven't been great.

Hopefully that explains why you can't compare being Irish to being a Muslim and why banning all Irish people is NOT the same as banning all Muslims. But once again, no one is being banned, so calm down and stop having a nervous breakdown at the thought of some Muslim getting his feelings hurt.

The IRA were Irish Nationalists. Islam, like any religious faith, is an ideology. ISIS are Islamic fundamentalists.
