To be honest imo the IRA were a far worse threat in their time than muslim extremists are to the UK now. Sharia law will realistically never happen. Muslims only comprise about 2% of the population, it's just scaremongering, there is no chance of it happening. At all. We are not being overtaken. The IRA and other anti-British groups killed over 2000 people in total directly, with a total of about 3600 dying from the violence all together.

even from those 2%, only a fraction want sharia law in the country, and those are the ones that are constantly being shoved in front of our faces via the mass media

ur right, it is all fearmongering by the media, and this incident in the Thread is no different than any other riot (although not pleasant)

MI5 are watching more muslim extremists in 2008 than their was members of the whole IRA! If you believe the IRA were more of a threat to our security then you are sadly mistaken.

Sinn Féin

Ireland was attempting to do little more than what the United States did when they broke away from British rule.

Anti British? That's like calling an african american slave "anti American"

Little bit of a stretch there, don't you think?

If you are talking about distance then I agree but other than that the tactics are very similar.

I wouldn't condone terror like tactics but to say the Revolutionary war was in some way different than what the Irish tried to do in the early 1900's is simply untrue

Many don't realize that the IRA name was used by MANY different groups that in no way represented Sinn Fein or the original group/beliefs of the real IRA

Oh dear.

We have a supporter of irish terrorism. I'm sure blowing up shopping centre's and bars really did the world of good.

It's only after 9/11 that Americans realised that supporting terrorism isn't as romantic as they thought it was.
