The IRA were fighting for unification of their country not about religion.
These people use religion as a weapon,but the spread of extremist Islam is not their only reasons.Getting democracies to withdraw military forces from the territory that the terrorists view as their homeland is also a major factor.
And the country was unified,what the IRA were fighting for,originally,was Home Rule.The partition of Ireland came after their War of Independence and a civil war.
I can't be bothered replying to the rest of your post
Well we all can't have good manners now can we.
so if it makes you feel better just consider that your right about everything and go ahead and keep insulting me if it makes you feel good . Ok?
Insult? Really?
You said,yourself,you've swallowed the threat hook,line and sinker.That makes you a mindless drone.
You cannot tell the difference between the average Muslim and an extremist Muslim,that makes you a mindless drone.
If that hurts your feelings just think of all those Muslims and Pakistanis you have tarred with the terrorist brush.

Maybe Pakistan should actually POLICE THE #ING BORDER THAT THEY WERE PAID AN EXHORBITANT AMOUNT OF MONEY BY THE US TO DO.

DJ Messiah is a Muslim and he does not support it.
There are other Muslims that don't as well.
Sweeping generalizations is counterproductive to denying ignorance.
These extreme acts are supported by the extremists, that's the difference.

Are you even aware that you sound exactly like one of them??
They say that all westerners are bad,that all Americans are evil etc.
The only difference between them and you,is that you haven't strapped a bomb to yourself and blown up the 'enemy'
Yet.

Well how many Muslims are there in the World?
How many of them have done something to qualify as a "terrorist killer"?
Now what's the percentage?
I think that approach would be better then just accepting the assumption that they are all killers.
And DJ Messiah has been logged out for an hour it says.

Have you actually seen the border they have to patrol?
Its part of the Hindu Kush.It has mountains ranging in height from 9,000ft (2,987 meters) to 25,230ft (7,690 meters) and it covers an area 500 miles long.This is not the easiest terrain in the world to patrol.
Uh, yes, I've seen it in person. How does that negate anything I said? If you (Pakistan) can't police it then allow the US to help you. By allowing it, the US would have intel on the border commiserate to it's technology, instead of having shackles on it because Pakistan wants to do something by itself that it cannot do.

Yeah. Ok.
One line posts that contribute nothing are also not something ATS encourages, and you have made a bunch of them.
Anyways, look this is how you are coming off. In my opinion as well.
You sound like an extremist yourself. You have the mentality. Now it's just a matter of if you change it before you act on it.
They are not all killers. But the majority quietly believe and support there actions. They also condemn it in public but condone it in private. I have first hand knowledge of this.

Sometimes one line is sufficient.
Anyway enjoy the space it's all yours. You keep seeing the good in people and defying what is reality.

If you were the president of Pakistan,would you allow the military of a country that has started 2 illegal wars and is looking to start a 3rd,onto your land?
I don't think so.No one in their right mind would let the US get a foot hold there.Especially as it would lead to rebellion of the Pakistan population and give more support to the Taliban.
