Islam Perversion My Butt!

[ERNO]

The Irish were catholic vs. protestant, mostly. Some of it was directed at the British, whom some of them considered an occupying force. One difference there is that they were not taking it elsewhere, attacking other countries just because they considered them the "Great Satan". Theirs was more like the Shiite and Sunni ideological difference, and I don't profess to understanding either set of group's reasoning.

I believe,with great sorrow,and I hope it's not true;that the Irish Republican Army,during WW11,was allied to Hitler's Nazi Germany;by giving crictical information,about U.S. & British sea convoys to the Nazi's? The IRA also bombed Great Britain during the "troubles". Can somebody please back me up,or enlighten me on this topic. THANKS

The IRA did liaise with the Germans during the Second World War, but it wasn't really to any great effect and I think they were more exploited for their nuisance value than anything else.

And yes, the PIRA conducted a bombing campaign on the mainland up until the ceasefires in 2005. My first sight of a real gun (Steyr AUG carbines) was going to London and seeing armed police manning checkpoints after they bombed the City in the early 90s.

One difference between the US and the UK is that you don't see off-duty soldiers wearing their uniforms as they travel like we do here. This is because of the threat from the PIRA in the 70s and the order has never been rescinded, although I think they're starting to relax the guidelines now there's relative peace.
