As I understand it, most of the folks in Ireland reject the notion that the current IRA is the same IRA from the 1920s. In fact the IRA from the 1920s is refered to as the old-IRA in deference to todays IRA.

Some resources to seem to try to maintain continuity, but I think that's a bit of a stretch.

We do agree that there is a terrorist network around the world that is communist/socialist driven. That still doesn't make the Muslim extremists (more accurately called - IslamoFascists) Communist rather than Muslim adherents.

We agree on most of it. And we agree that it goes under-reported. Digging into the group A.N.S.W.E.R. makes it pretty clear that they are all one big happy family. Even the PLO is supported by this group, and possibly even supported by the PLO. That still doesn't mean the PLO or Hezbollah have sworn off Islam and now only follow Communism.

You take care.

Oh I get it now.

Excuse me for being dense. I did not mean that and if I implied that it was a mistake and I was wrong.

It is not a case of them being one or the other, it is a case of them being both that is my point and that the fact that they are Communist is what ties them into the greater worldwide terror network.

There is a mistaken belief that Communist can only equal Atheist. Having heard Communist ideology preached under the banner of "Liberation Theology" in Catholic Churches in South America I know this is not so.

It is quite possible for a terror group to be Communist and subscribe to a religion at the same time.
