You are back to the same twisted logic, republican nationalists who are defending the island are not terrorists, whilst the Irish unionists and loyalists who in their view are also defending the island are terrorists. If you start using your brain and thinking about the logic of your reply then you will only come to one conclusion and that is they were all terrorists.
If you don't know that they live in Ireland by now but hope have we of ever having a lasting piece. I know damn well that I don't have to give you a history lesson about unionism and loyalism but suffice it to say that the believe they are defending the island (obviously they are now located mainly in the NE corner) from the republicans and papists.
But that's allowing the Republicans to define what they do as protecting the island. I'm sure the Blueshirts would have claimed they were protecting the island. The right to protect the island can only be granted by the people of the island; it can't be something that is awarded to oneself.
