It doesn’t take much of an honest reading of history to see that the Muslim world has been cheated, lied to, looted, controlled, used and abused by the rich and powerful west for the last nine hundred years. And something similar might be said of the Irish in connection with the IRA question. It’s easy to call the IRA ‘murderers’ whilst conveniently forgetting that British Army officers ordered the Black and Tans to lock the gates of Croke Park during a hurling final and walk around shooting innocent members of the crowd. <br /><br />The last sentence says it all, and I’m glad you said it. People don’t become terrorists for the sake of having a new hobby. They do it because all ‘civilised’ attempts to right wrongs have been unsuccessful, usually crushed to serve the interests of the powerful oppressors.<br /><br />I happen to be a big fan of the suffragettes, by the way.JJhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16069822009799120415noreply@blogger.com
