And nor do I, but to compare the two is very silly.
The campaign by the IRA, was not religiously motivated, it was politcal, and it was very specific to the UK, and the UK alone.
The "global" threat that Islamic Extremism presents is a wholly different kettle of worms.
I'm no fan of Tizmeinnit, but if has has a distrust of Islam in general, he is entirely entitled to hold that view.
Forget all this "most muslims are peaceful people etc etc etc" Maybe. But I would also argue that "most" muslims do not approve of Western society, and they would be much happier if everywhere was more islamified. See Birmingham schools for example.
This intolerance of our society is only one skip away from extremeism, and this is what those trying to indoctrinate those into extremeism use.
I have a very deep mistrust of Islam and Muslims. I'm not a bigot, or stupid. I can see the global evidence and here at home, and my mistrust is entirely justified.
