The Irish government might have been accused of not doing enough during the troubles but tatic support? No. As for ad hoc support from the 'Irish establishment'? So what? We've got Muslim trojan horses and paedo rings, doesn't mean the state has implemented those as policy. Financial support came from the US, and rogue countries like Libya supplied arms, training, etc., also PLO etc.
My point is there was a porous border between the UK and Ireland - Arms flowed across, the IRA were given Safe harbour and carried out raids across it
We however, did not indiscriminatly bomb them to the Stone Age

That old cop out "God knows what's best" and it's "God's will."
Well seeing as he's a made up non entity, I do see flaws in using those lines to solve wars.

First, as I alluded to in my previous post, I've grappled with this previously and expressed this publicly in the Nelson Mandela thread:

Swati asked me to expand on that question and I did so:

So I guess my instinct as a Christian is non-violence and that is what Christ taught and would teach. However, the Jews aren't Christians and they are concerned with their earthly life and how that is threatened by the Islamists. I don't see this in terms of Jews versus Muslims, I see this as a modern liberal democracy versus the retrograde death cult of Hamas. As a political animal and a pragmatist and given the choice, and it is about taking sides, I wish to see the maintenance of the Israeli state and the extirpation of the Islamists. As a Christian the best I can do is pray that God's will be done and only He knows what that is.

Yep... God stands by and watches his creation slaughter one when according to almost every religion out there he has the power to stop it all and also he knew it is going to happen. Frankly people slaughtering one another is gods own will. How effed up is that?

Nope, although i share many sentiments with atheists.
I am a Muslim who is fed up of gods inactions in this world which makes anyone with half a brain question a lot of things. God could fix the worlds problems by coming in everyones dream and making some sort of statement. We would all wake up having had the same dream and that would be the end to most of the worlds violence. Of course the Americans would still be trying to find excuses to get their fingers where the natural resources are at.
Plus i support humanity over anything. I don't like bullies at all.
Be they ISIS killing Christians in Iraq or Allied Forces bringing 'freedom' to Iraq. The excuses people make for Israels actions is an indication how low humanity has stooped.
You know very well i view the human species as a parasite on the planet earth that mother nature / god has let have a free reign for far too long.

Thanks for your response, Shaid. I'm finding the two points above difficult to reconcile, would you mind elucidating a little?

You can argue the toss about the Irish governments involvement all you like
My point is there was a porous border between the UK and Ireland - Arms flowed across, the IRA were given Safe harbour and carried out raids across it
We however, did not indiscriminatly bomb them to the Stone Age

There was no porous border between The Republic and Northern Ireland, it was controlled with checkpoints etc.
As for 'safe harbour', can you prove this?
The Irish government never had a stated goal of the ethnic cleansing of Britain.
Careful you don't do your back in with the stretch involved in this comparison.

So should those that believe in fairies annihilate those that are fairly sure they don't exist?
Should those that believe in ghosts wage war against the fairy believers? Maybe the ghosties should kick those damn fairy believers out of their houses? If a few die on the way, who cares?
Yes, this is how retarded religious wars are.

Every ethnicity/race is constructed. Jewishness is no less real than being black or being Muslim or being Aboriginal Australian.

Geneticists agree that there is as much genetic variation within 'races' as across all over humanity.
