Almost all came with a warning that was too late to save any lives! The warnings were given so idiots like you would sympathise with them - ahhh, they might be terrorists but at least they are trying to do the right thing!

Get your facts straight - all muslims do not want all non-muslims dead and the vast majority of the Irish did not support terrorism - you insult an entire nation with your thoughtless comments. Furthermore, the attacks your country suffered on 911 were a result of IRA collaboration with other terror groups, namely Al Quaeda. The AQ attacks on 911 were a direct result of IRA terror training camps held in the Libyan desert in 1993 and 1994 where AQ operatives were taught terrorist skills in bomb-making, evasion and counter-insurgency techniques by the IRA and later put to good use. The IRA in return were paid in arms and expolsives. Even two years ago, IRA terrorists were being arrested in Columbia training FARQ terrorists how to kill Americans in return for drugs and weapons.

Your ignorance is embarrassing and your callous disregard for those innocents killed is shocking.

That's funny, I saw quite a few times where the London police had some area cordoned off because of a warning about an IRA bomb called in by the bombers themselves. Compare and contrast this to Islamic terror, which has never come with a warning, ever.

I don't sympathize with them, however, I can see differences in scale, scope, method and purpose which seem to be going right over your head. IRA and Basque and Tamil and similar separatist groups do not pose a global threat to civilization. Islam does. The IRA never threatened the very existence of Britain. Islam does.

...all muslims do not want all non-muslims dead

Any devout Muslim sure does, it is written right in the Koran that they must seek global domination and that it is their duty to eliminate all others.

[Koran 2.191] And kill them wherever you find them, and drive them out from whence they drove you out, and persecution is severer than slaughter, and do not fight with them at the Sacred Mosque until they fight with you in it, but if they do fight you, then slay them; such is the recompense of the unbelievers.

See more here. It is clear that you do not yet understand what we are facing in Islam.

Furthermore, the attacks your country suffered on 911 were a result of IRA collaboration with other terror groups, namely Al Quaeda. The AQ attacks on 911 were a direct result of IRA terror training camps held in the Libyan desert in 1993 and 1994 where AQ operatives were taught terrorist skills in bomb-making, evasion and counter-insurgency techniques by the IRA and later put to good use. The IRA in return were paid in arms and expolsives. Even two years ago, IRA terrorists were being arrested in Columbia training FARQ terrorists how to kill Americans in return for drugs and weapons.

Islamic terrorism long predates the IRA, whose role is very minor. This is like holding the Tamils accountable for Palestinian terrorism because they collaborated once in 1969 and Arafat learned the suicide bombing from them. Yes there is a connection, but if you're chasing this then you are far off the main road to a solution.

Your ignorance is embarrassing and your callous disregard for those innocents killed is shocking.

I should say the same for you. Comparing terror for Islamic conquest and the nationalist terror of the IRA, Basques, Tamils, and so on is comparing a fly to an elephant. As someone who has actually been hit by a terror attack - unlike yourself - I find your moral equivocation shallow and suicidal.

You really need to read the koran.
