Why should it be?Originally Posted by coc
It's a duplicate.
The international community still treats Irish Republican terrorism differently from other forms today, and it is the mythology of the Hunger Strikes which explains why this is.
Irish America's dewy eyed acceptance of the fairy tale of Bobby "Bomber" Sands is best exemplified by the fact that Gandhi, Martin Luther King and other advocates of non-violence are included in a mural in honour of the hunger-strikers which stands in a local precinct of the New York City Housing Police
in Spanish Harlem.
It was painted by artists Gerry Kelly from Belfast and Chicago-born Tom Billings.
Imagine if you will that a similar mural was erected to the 9-11 plane hijackers and erected in a local PSNI station….. How long would it be until the US government itself intervened? Yet this mural has escaped unchallenged, unless for the comments of the victims and some professional journalists who exposed the cruel hypocrisy.
Richard Gordon, a victim of the Hunger Striker Hughes, says "The guy was a cold-blooded killer and I have the scars still to prove it. There is no way they can compare him to the likes of Gandhi and Martin Luther King, it's a sick joke. It's an insult to the families of innocent people killed in the Troubles."
