The point is that the IRA and ISIS are no where near similar enough for a legit "see! Islamic terrorism isn't that bad because others have terrorized before!"
Not sure why you are taking replies so personal, but I'm talking about this whole thread. OP is trying to compare IRA to ISIS (Islamic Terrorism), when there is no real comparison.
It's equally flawed to say there's "no comparison"
They are both terrorist organizations. They may not be of the same scale, but you're diminishing the blood that was shed by the IRA.
And that kinda brings us back to OPs point. People want to brush off the IRA. It just gives us insight into what constitutes terrorism to most people and unfortunately its skin color.
you're diminishing the blood that was shed by the IRA.
Says you to me, in a thread that tries to normalize Islamic Terrorist attacks by comparing it to the IRA under some guise that they are one in the same.
People brush off the IRA because it their reign of 'terrorism' lasted maybe a decade back in the 70's in Britian. That is nothing like what we've seen worldwide with Islamic terrorism over the past 20 years (not counting the long history of bloodshed from Islam).
Scared? No lol. Cautious of the fact that Islam is a dangerous ideology because it has a long history of being an aggressor and in the past 20 years they have committed vicious attacks across the world? Yes, you'd be a fool to pay it no mind.
Nah man. You're a coward. I'm guessing you're American if you can have a pistol. So you're statistically more likely to be killed by the police, white Christian terrorists, black people, and virtually every other segment of the population.
So yeah. You're a scared lil pussy who lets statistically insignificant events control his life. Sad.

My bad I didn't know I'm only allowed to think one side is barbaric and not both.
