Plenty of acts in the conflict in Ireland had the same moral equivalence as ISIS.
I said nothing about a travel ban.
No, but Khan (who you clearly support), did.
The source of the poisonous rhetoric between Trump and Khan goes back to Khanâs opposition to the proposed travel ban, and his reference to Trumpâs ignorance of Muslims as the reason for the proposed ban.
I donât support Khan at all, I just admire the dignity with which he behaved at the weekend.
the mayor of London is a 5th columnist, Trump has his number
we can see from the videos the way Khan has gone to great lengths to drop the heavy south London accent
Name one act by ISIS that has the moral equivalence in the conflict in Ireland?
To understand any conflict you have to understand the root cause.
The root cause of the NI conflict was an openly sectarian state which successive UK (and cowardly Irish) governments turned a blind eye to for 50 years. A sectarian state which would not have been allowed on the mainland, but is was only the Oirish so who cared.
The root cause of Islamist extremism is a subset of Muslims who believe literally what their daft ideology teaches them, which is that all infidels (including fellow Muslims who think otherwise) should be slaughtered, and a reward in a pretend paradise awaits those doing the slaughter.
I can name you loads of attacks by Irish groups which are morally equivalent to any ISIS attack in Europe.
Loughinisland
Greysteel
The Ormeau Road bookies massacre
Kingsmills
Darkley
Anything by the Shankill Butchers
The McGurkâs bar bomb
Coolacrease
Altnaveigh
The Miami Showband Masscacre
The Dublin and Monaghan bombings
The Pat Finucane and Rosemary Nelson murders
The Birmingham pub bombings
The Guildford pub bombings
During the first 11 days of Ramadan 2017, the Muslim holy month, 627 people have been killed by Islamic fanatics in 59 attacks in 17 different countries.
The religion of peace.

Just so we are clear here, you believe the Guildford bombing, for example, has the same moral equivalence, as say the Manchester bombing?
And by extension, many of the ISIS acts have the same moral equivalence of the IRA acts?
The Guildford bomb was aimed against a pub. A pub means civilians. You realise this, yes?
Are you disputing that any of the other acts I named were morally equivalent to any ISIS attack in Europe?
You hate Muslims.
We get it.
Pretend Islamists
I donât hate anyone mate, I hate poisonous ideology that infects peopleâs minds and fills them with hate for their fellow man. Socialism for example.
