actually, I do know Irish people, who tell me different, Animation guy. They tell of indiscriminate suspicions against all Irish...

Not to mention that if one considers being asked a few questions and having to take a later flight as something amounting to fascism, may I suggest a good dictionary or a history class?

The attackers are from a very select group of people. When the IRA was bombing the place the police didn't target every Irishman.

Excuse my language, but that's utter bollocks. They did indeed target every Irishman. You've obviously never heard of internment, the Guildford Four, the Birmingham Six, Judith Ward, et al.

Are you really saving that these examples compare to what's happening now? Are you serious? Chalk and cheese!

How many Irish families thrown off US jets for 'remarks'? Did you read the thread ?Hijabi assaulted in Churchill Square, Brighton?; how many Irish woman were treated in the same way? What about Guantanamo Bay, how many Irish men kept in detention camps without fair trials?

At least in the examples you gave they got a fair trial and acquitted. There isn?t much chance of a fair trail now with all the new anti-terror laws.

Chalk and cheese!

oh Muslim, oh servant of Allah, this is a Jew behind me, come and kill him!"

You have absolutely no idea what you are talking about. Internment without trial was official policy in Northern Ireland up till 1979, and when civil rights marchers protested about it they were shot in cold blood by the British Army. Try googling the Bloody Sunday Massacre. While you're there, educate yourself about the Guildford Four and the other cases I mentioned - none of them were acquitted after a fair trial. They were falsely convicted and spent around 15 years each in prison for nothing. One of the Guildford Four died in prison.

As for the throwing off jets for remarks thing - well, no that didn't happen because Irish people were subject to arbitrary exclusion orders under the Prevention of Terrorism Act, which meant they were prevented from flying at all, and there was no fair trial for them either.

And how many Irish women were treated the same way? Too many to count. Not to mention the Irish women that were frequently murdered for no other reason than the community they came from.

Don't spout such ignorance, you have no idea what's gone on in Ireland and Britain over the last 30 years.
