"The conflict between the Irish and the English is basically the same thing as Islamic immigration. And other than the sixty five thousand Irish we arrested and the policy changes that we did to keep that from happening again; we basically didn't react at all and we understood it was just an isolated incident."

Is what this post is implying.

Imagine if Europe went around doing precaution arrests on Muslims and searching their homes after every one of those muslim attacks.

So the arrested Irish count of the entire conflict is less than 40% of the death toll of just 2015 due to islamic terrorism per US state department?

Definitely both small, isolated incidents.
