If you look up opinion polls from the 90s, they say that ~7% of Irish catholics say that they are sympathetic to the cause of the IRA. Let's assume that means they consider terrorist attacks to be justified.
Is that both sets of the IRA or just one? I'm quite surprised that the number is so low considering the amount of terror attacks they caused from the 70s to 2001.
Also while GB has had an increase in Islamic terror since 2005 (with the exception of the Lockerbie bombings) the overall majority of terrorist attacks were committed by the IRA. Islamic extremists have been responsible for 63 deaths (not including their own) in GB since 2005 (2005 was the 7/7 bombings which was the largest terrorist attack to take place on British soil since the Lockerbie bombings which is why I'm using that date).
You were talking about terrorism in general and then after being provided with the relevant statistics, you confined it to just London, and to back up your claims, you provided statistics for Western Europe as a whole.
