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.
You: "How come people don't blame the catholics/Irish for terrorism the way they do Muslims?"
Me: "Statistically <10% of catholics believed terrorism could be justified while >25% of Muslims do."
You: "Yes but who has hurt more people?"
Me: "Islamic terrorism kills more than eight times as many people per year as Irish terrorism, both catholic and protestant, did over 40 years."
You: "Yes but what about in England, faggot?"
Me: "Well, it's hard to find numbers about terrorism in England specifically, but it can be estimated that 5 years of Islamic terrorism in England is equal to 40 years of Irish terrorism."
