You remember the names of their victims?
It seems that some Palestinians do hate Israel more than they love their own children. Golda Meir was right all those years ago. But then some Palestinians also brainwash children to be suicide bombers and seduce children to the idea that they will go straight to paradise if they become martyrs.
Well close bob,
Its actually the fact that you look at Islamic culture and all you see is a culture where women & homsexuals are executed for flimsy reasons in a barbaric manner that is the root of your problem. You cant find, or indeed don't want to find, one single other attribute of Islamic culture that could be compared with Irish culture even though on a cultural level Islamic society has a well of cultural history deep enough to make Irish culture look like a wee frog pond.
Its the fact that you are afraid to accept that these societies historically were as great or greater than the Greek Roman English civilisations of history and contributed exponentially to human civilisation.
You take one or two attributes that frighten you of a society somewhere where the people who live are mainly Muslim and you say" this is all I need to know about Islamic culture".
Its called Islamophobia, and you are affected deeply
you think its the job of the irish people to go around the world telling people how to behave ? Thats absolutely mad , crackers . Who exactly do you think we are and what gives us the right ? In fact why should anyone listen to what Irish people tell them to do ?
Personally I think its your attitude needs changing .

In situations like Palestine, Ireland during the war of independance, occupied Europe during WWII, or any other 'insurectionary' situation the punishment for collaboration has always been death.
I don't think anybody who hasn't been in that type of situation can fully understand the rights and wrongs of it, but this is certainly not a uniquely Muslim act.

For very many people throughout the world, including myself, interest in Islam began on 9/11. By all means take the history class but do not be too surprised when you discover that the current affairs class is more popular. By the way, a phobia is an irrational fear. There is nothing irrational about harbouring an extreme wariness of those who over the past decade or so have given us 9/11 and countless other atrocities in the name of their religion.
You'll forgive the rest of us then, who tend to focus on the facts rather than hype, for treating such a myopic attitude with the scorn it deserves.
Focus away. You might even care to share those "facts" with us, always provided that they are reasonably topical. You can start with 9/11, 7/7, 21/7, Madrid, Beslan, Bali x2, (draws breath) Istanbul, Casablanca and a host of other atrocities and thwarted jihadist plots against non-believers, their interests and their property. All "hype" I supose.
This might be a shock but "terrorism" isn't a new thing. Nor is religous/territorial conflict.
