"I don't think there's any doubt that muslims are involved in most, they're certainly not involved in Northern Ireland, nor the FARC insurgency in Columbia. The Basques in Spain aren't muslim."

Actually, there are Islamist elements involved in all three, providing training or assistance in some form. The intent being, as I understand it, to create as much instability in the West as possible.

Actually, the IRA used to be funded heavily by the former USSR. Today you see the PLO and Moumar Qadaffi heavily funding them. (The CIA intercepted a 30 million dollar shipment of arms and discovered several more of that magnitude scheduled).

This is nothing new. Marxist organizations are often proxies for Islamic interests since both fight democracies.

Also, the LRA in Uganda was not mentioned on someone's earlier list. This "Lord's Resistance Army" proxies itself as a "Christian" group, but they spend most of their time killing Christians and other non Muslims. On closer examination, you see they are Funded by the Islamic Sudanese government and run by Idi Amin's former minister (another radical Islamist movement that killed over 1,000,000 Christians).

So En Garde. Not everything is face value.

For more on the Libyan connections with the IRA, a site has been set up by families of victims, here: http://www.victims.org.uk/libyanconnection.html
