Irish republicans try to blow up Belfast police building

I believe that if Protestant and Catholic factions would try to live by the tenants of their religions and come together without regard for religious affiliation and for a Democratic Republic and not a Parliamentarian form of Government there would be no reason for them not to have Home rule. But as long as they carry on like so many here do with the finger pointing, religious bias, and childish behavior of my Gods better than your God mentality they will never stop.
I know the bias is on all sides and is at the core of the was terrorism world wide. Radical Muslims believe their religious beliefs are superior to all others and that is why until there is a massive war no one wins but in which hundreds of millions die there will be no end to the terrorism.

I don't see any Terrorists...all I see is Freedom Fighters trying to get the rest of their Country back...
 
Not sarcasm at all. What do the British need 6 counties in a neighboring isle for? Nothing.

GTFO PIGS!

IT'S GREEN, WHITE, AND GOLD!

Oh bugger off with your republic bull****

N Ireland voted to remain with the Union. Wales and Scotland both joined in treaties.
What ... are you jealous Britain was intelligent enough to create a Union which benefits all?
A few Irish terrorists will not change our mind nor make us give up Northern Ireland. Ever. Unless of course they choose through a referedum to become a independent state which we will ofc support.
Oh and Britain expands into territories outside of the British isles. We have 14 territories under the soverignty of the United Kingdom but not part of it.

Course. I hope you similarly support the Palestinian 'freedom fighters'. The Iraqis and Afghans....

Wow thanks for all the information. But i tend to think any person who bombs a police station as a terrorist. I still think any one who goes about bombing Police staions and Civilization as a Terrorist group.

But but they cant be terrorists as they are Christians and not Muslims!!!!

They must be "freedom fighters" then, since Christians cant be terrorists and have never committed such acts..

:roll:






and for those that cant understand sarcasm, yes this was sarcasm ...

I think a large portion of Northern Ireland would disagree

The absurd campaign for a united Ireland | Christopher McGimpsey | Comment is free | guardian.co.uk

"The problem that Adams has with his quest for a united Ireland is that he has no conception as to why over 1,000,000 Irishmen and Irishwomen would wish to remain within the United Kingdom. He seems to view us simply as errant brothers and sisters who can be easily persuaded to see the errors of our ways. Apart from being insulting, this is also dangerous."

It's the blowing up of buildings thing that gets them the terrorist label, not their cause.

I think you're being sarcastic, but it doesn't much matter. Your comment says alot either way.

So the fact that the majority of both communities on both sides of the border voted in favor of the current constitutional set up (see good Friday agreement) doesn't factor into this discussion then? How can these people be liberators when they are fighting against what the majority of people in the province want?

The British need to give back N. Ireland. Plain and simple. They wouldn't be blowing **** up if they had just given them the SIX counties. I mean, it's not even attached to their island.


It saddens me to see that their are still 'snakes' in Ireland.

You can bet your boots that if they were killing Muslims, vice other Christians, they would be terrorists.

No, that's not sarcasm.

I'm sure if Ireland had their island back, there wouldn't be any problems.

They blow up and kill innocent people. They are terrorists and the way they fight is cowardly and barbaric. They are fighting a movement that has no support. Good going on you though, for congratulating the terrorists who have the blood of innocent women and children on their hands.

Ha, im glad you said that, some people can be so ignorant sometimes.

All this over 6 counties...

I see what you mean. The Falkland war was just pointless. No wonder we refer to you guys as our "cousins", there's definetly a shared bond between us because we opened a pointless war for the sake of flexing our muscles and showing everybody in the region who's daddy for no real purpose at all. But that dont give you an excuse to be a terrorist apologist.
 
And the police station is still standing? Damn, those do-nothing Republicans. :mrgreen:

I guess thats a no then. Plastic paddies:doh. And yes there would be a problem, I.E unionists/protestants using violence to attempt to leave Ireland and join the UK. Balancing the needs of both communities (as we are doing now) is the only way to solve this problem short of an ethnic cleansing campaign. Thats why the majority of people in both Eire and Northern Ireland voted for this set up. Even Gerry Adams admits this.

:lol: I guess some 'Empires' never learn (I'll include America in that so as to avoid a ****storm.)

:rolleyes:

Right, because the Unionists wouldn't kick up a fuss about that...

Have you ever considered a career in diplomacy?
 
Quite frankly, I don't think this is up to those in the UK or the Republic. It is something that should be decided by the people of Northern Ireland as a whole.

And for those who think this has anything to do with religion, learn about the region. Religion is not a real concern. The religious differences are actually a product of being ethnically Irish or ethnically English. Typically the side which one is prone to supporting (Unionist or Republican) is actually product of ethnicity, not religion.


There were legitimate reasons why many took up arms in the North back 40 years ago, but those reasons just aren't present anymore. There is far less Catholic (read: ethnically Irish) subjugation than there was 40 years ago in the North. Sein Fein is even considered a legitimate political entity now, for the love of God.

There is no reason at all for violence anymore. None whatsoever. Those who use violence in today's Northern Ireland are little more than pigs.

The Catholics now have a voice, and that voice is actually being heard. 40 years ago this was not the case. Today, it is the reality.

The fight was won in the only way it really needed to be one. The people have a choice. Only persistent attempts to degrade things back towards violence by people who want to remove that choice from others can destroy all that has been achieved over the last 11 years.
