Yep - strange stuff that - it was the ordinary Indians that were getting shot by the dozen and the Jews were being targeted in a systematic way. Tragic to make the whole thing so parochial.

>>>>Should the members of the IRA have been referred to as “Catholics?” <<<<<<

Sure, if they were trying to install a global Pope-iphate by killing and maiming every culture and religion that wasn’t Catholic.

But Northern Ireland was not about religion, it was about Britain’s presence and nothing more.

To reverse your absurd and illogical analogy.....

Is there an occupation by Westerners of Mecca and Medina?

I have no idea how Islam got into that movie or if it did.
Islam and the rest of the worlds religions have been at war off and on for well over a thousand years. Periodically the muslims are soundly defeated and pushed back into the middle east by the use of massive military force. They stay put for a century or so and then start their violence crap again. The cycle continues until another large and overwhelming islamic defeat occurs and they are forced back into their sand pit once again. The time is at hand for the world to complete this cycle again and remind them that they are never going to be allowed to dominate the world as they intend. I look at it as taking out the trash, just something that needs to be done periodically. It is and always has been caused by the muslims trying to impose their cult/satan religion onto the rest of the world with the use of violence and terrorism. These are the same tactics they have repeatedly used throughout history. Their historical stated goal is to conquer the world by force and impose islam on each person and kill all those who will not submit. These have been their well spoken plans for the last thousand years and nothing has changed. History has repeatedly demonstrated what must happen to stop them. It is time to speak to islam in the only language they have ever understood, massive superior military power with a clear demonstration that we intend to use it.

Yes, you do know. And, well, yes... "they shoot horses, don't they."

The cult of terrorism must have innocent blood to savor. It's a religion of death.

Acquaintances of ours, some years back became Berkeley Islamicists. Meaning, like most Berkeley "religions" - faux whatever. When one entered their home, one was greeted by a poster of a bloody "god" with knives in his hands, and blood dripping out his mouth.

Anyway, years later, this family attended a wedding of a friend of theirs into a genuine radical Muslim family.

The wedding guests were excluded from witnessing the wedding. They were considered impure. They were sequestered into a dark, room - kept there throughout the proceedings. The friend was outraged, and quite frightened for her friend's daughter. The friends morphed away from Islam to a brand of Berkeley Hinduism.

The people of the San Francisco Bay Area really have NO real idea what the realities are behind the various sect religions and practices they adopt as an identity.

To many of them, it's all one magical mystery tour.

Some of Madelyn Dunham’s former friends from banking etc- held a funeral a few weeks back.

Neither Barry nor sister Maya, the devoted caregiver, showed up.

What a wonderful family legacy to leave behind. A conveniently well timed death from a never annnounced illness (cancer?) and total lack of public remorse or even a dignified remembrance service by any family...such as it was

emotional black pit there in the new leader of the free world ...shudder
