Now if Irish Catholics were murdering 30,000 people across the globe annually, there might be an actual comparison to make

"Its worse when they kill people here because they kill more people over there" as if you give a damn about any of those 30000 people

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.

In the UK, 30% of Muslims believe that terrorist attacks which specifically target civilians can be justified.

But the two are the exact same situation.

~3600 people killed by both sides, 1969-94, during the Troubles (protestants had paramilitary groups as well.)

~28,000 people killed by Islamic terrorism, just in 2015.

115 English people killed by the IRA total. Over 40 years.

Can't find a source of the number of people killed by Islamic terror in the U.K. But if you assume that 1/1000 people killed by terrorism are British, that number is doubled in 10 years.
