iâm sorry, my fault. i just pressed the easy button knowing rocko and bomber would make clowns of themselves.
I didnât think theyâd go this far though.
Ashamed to be from the same island as them.
They were an army at war. Do you hold the same view of the men involved in the 1916 rising?
Those warnings helped save a lot of lives, I suppose you would prefer they fired no warning bombs into crowded city centres and wiped out 100s at a time.
Were they an army at war or did they give adequate warning? Make up your mind
if they had a fucking army then we might not have the mess we have now.
Id prefer if they didnt plant bombs in population centres

Youâre the one who threw up an analogy of muslims flying a plane into the twin towers without warning with the aim of killing thousands to commercial bombings with warnings given to prevent civilian deaths.
Thatâs ridiculous.
What mess is that?
[QUOTE=âfucked out, post: 1068807, member: 1495â]'Twas a war not a game of tig.
Even smart bombs kill civilians. Iâm not condoning any civilian deaths in the north by the way but anyone trying to compare the activities of the IRA in the north would really want to educate themselves about whatâs going on in the cause of Islam at the moment.
I might post up a few more of their many, many gory videos and pictures of it helps.[/QUOTE]
The Islamists have ratcheted things up but ultimately it is same mindset - cause terror to provoke a response in order to achieve their aims.
The only difference is the IRA were based in a western democracy where public opinion didnât tolerate blowing up kids (but it happened), torturing women (but it happened). In Jslamic world that public opinion is not there to act as a brake so anything goes.
Itâs a propaganda war. It was then too. but Islamists donât have western sensibilities so more outrageous the violence the better. It is still violence aimed at innocents to create terror and provoke a response to achieve their aims.

What do the Islamists actually want or hope to achieve?
The Provos wanted an oppressive force out of their country, the reasons for war in the nationalist cause was very evident and unavoidable.
i know palâŚand as for that Robert macartney! âŚsticking up for a mate in a bar !..well thank God the RA was there tenfold to slice him up in the name of Freedom!
You can thank a treacherous Cork man for that.

Thats a good sight worse than joyriding. Iâm all for a few scelps, but blowing kneecaps off is outrageously over the top.[/QUOTE
so kneecapping people is over the top?, a few pages back you were trying to justify those towel heads murdering 12 people because they didnât like their sense of humour saying it was an expected reaction[/QUOTE]

The creation of a global Muslim state.
McCartney, the Provos have been on an unbroke ceasefire since 97, long before Robert McCartney died. Again, not much relevance there.
