What the heck is the Irish ethnic group? There Celts and Anglo Saxons living in Northern Ireland. Some call themselves Catholics. Some call themselves Protestants. None of them actually pratice religion.
Why? The Irish have committed more than their fair share of terrorism in the last century.
Nope not even in the same galaxy compared to Islamic terrorism. The PC crowd likes to lump the Irish in as if to prove that white people blow up school buses and fly planes into buildings too. They don't.
You're splitting hairs. What ethnic group would the members of the Irish Republican Army say that they belonged to?

The IRA and its ofshoots have killed 2000 or so people since the late 1960's. Considering the limited geographic area of the N. Ireland conflict, that puts them in the same ballpark as their Islamic buddies (and the IRA has had ties to various Muslim terrorist groups).

Tell that to the people who died in the OK City bombing. Or the victims of the Red Army Faction, various White Supremacist groups in the US or the FLQ in Quebec.
At the end of the day, the IRA belongs in the same camp as Al-Qaeda.
