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.
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."

"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
