When I hit "Dub (my hero)" that's normally a sign for me to stop reading and just move on. Like passing a car wreck...

Yes, but unlike the Islamic Fundamentalist, the IRA might have a good reason for protecting their culture and soil from the Brits. I mean, messing with Guiness pouring methods? If someone were to mess with McDonalds here, there'd be cruise missiles filling the air faster than you can say Jack Robinson.

You might want to read a bit more about the history of Northern Ireland. It's not a "religous war", Catholics and Protestants don't hate each other because of relgious differences there, most don't give a care either way. But the history has a catholic country being invaded by a protestant one (England) and the English leaving their Protestant cousins to "oversee" the Catholics. So it is a bit different that a truly religous war, which is what Islamic extremists seem to want to fight.

well, in all fairness, he DID say "to the best of my knowledge...". too bad his knowledge is extrememly limited.

dammit, i shoulda listened to Christine. but no, i kept reading after Dub (my hero). i love how she wants to blame all islamics for the actions of a few terrorists. is she forgetting that the religion that's most prevalent in the world is Islam? and by that same rationale, can't we blame all christians for abortion clinic bombings?

I can honestly say that I am studying the Irish Catholic, and Irish Protestant ideals of things. It seems as though there was a lot of social boundaries for the two peoples if they were in the wrong area. It was almost racial, the bonds of hate were so strong against one another. Seeing as how Christianity in itself is the worlds most popular based form of religion, these two peoples live neck to neck because of the simple form of their religion. As viewed in something that would be more commonplace, such as Angela's Ashes by Frank McCourt, you see that the family was looked down upon for being Catholic, and being Protestant all at once. Perhaps someone should look at these things before they make their own opinion on these things. The facts are simple. Irish killed one another while still fighting with the English over the simple idea of religion.
