With all due respect, I don’t think muslims can be compared to the Irish, nor can Islam be called a peaceful religion.
With equal respect, if your friends and/or relatives have just been blown to pieces I suspect distinctions on the ethnic or religious affiliation of the people who did it are not very important to you.
No. You are right.
After all, the Muslims here havent yet murdered 3000 British people, killed the future King’s favourite uncle, murdered a Prime Minister, worked hand in hand with the Nazis, shot two Aussies because they ‘looked British’, murdered British soldiers in Germany, attempted to blow up most of Gibraltar, murdered an American and maimed another (Harrods bombing 1983) set off bombs at a Rememberence Sunday parade, committing acts of violence since the 1850’s, and been setting off bombs in the UK and Northern Ireland since 1938....
addendum:
error in my post to you: Irish Republicans did not murder a Prime Minister, they have however murdered several senior British politicians over the last 130 years, including Airey Neave, a WW2 hero, and in 1882 Lord Cavendish, the Secretary of Ireland.
