What’s important to understand here is that although some might argue that your foreign policies are the extent of what drives our hatred, the fact is even if you were to stop bombing us, imprisoning us, torturing us, vilifying us and usurping our lands, we would continue you to hate you because our primary reason for hating you will not cease to exist until you embrace Islam.

Grayson wrote: » Nobody has. And no-one has said it definitely isn't terrorism. And what happened is horrible. Someone died in a horrific manner. All people have been saying is 1) Don't jump to conclusions. Possibly wait for more information 2) Don't blame a whole group of people for the actions of an individual.

I really can't be any clearer than that, but can't wait to see how that's twisted into I love terrorists, I'm crippled by white guilt or whatever other absolute horseshít people have to come out with to avoid acknowledging that very simple fact.

Like it or not, we as a country are part of the problem. Obviously nothing justifies the murder of innocent civilians, but to suggest that Ireland is entirely exempt from the blame for what has happened is ridiculous. We co-operated with a bloodthirsty regime of neo-crusaders under George Bush and we literally have absolutely no legitimate claim anymore to the concept of "Irish neutrality".
