Re: Catholic terrorist who killed 9 innocent civilians freed by British
Oh just look at India, they started the whole thing.
Re: Catholic terrorist who killed 9 innocent civilians freed by British
The IRA killed 1800 people in it’s 30 year terrorist campaign.
Hindu fundementalists killed 2000 Muslims in just a few weeks in 2002.
Re: Catholic terrorist who killed 9 innocent civilians freed by British
Silly billy..first you decide unanimously how many were killed in Gujarat riots.
Modi says the death toll was 956 in total including 243 were Hindus killed by police.
Someone from your side says 3000, and one had the highest imagination of deads…..80000. (The theory was that the riots were spread over 80 villages and in every village Hindus killed 100 Muslims, in total equal to 80000.)
There is no confusion about Godhra death toll. Hindus burnt alive were 59 in total including women and children. This incident is always bypassed while remembering Gujarat killings.
Re: Catholic terrorist who killed 9 innocent civilians freed by British
^ Yes, 59 innocent people died because of a fire started, by accident, INSIDE the train and NOT as a result of fire bombing from OUTSIDE the train by Muslims. However Modi and his gang went on the rampage to murder Muslims, knowing full well that Muslims had no hand in the train fire.
Getting back to the original topic, read the following article about “good terrorists and bad terrorists” according to Tony Bliar. You guessed it, the good ones are white, the bad ones are non-white.
"Blair’s two faces of terrorism
…
To say that statistics mitigate murder is obviously contemptible. The difference between the 3,000 killed in the World Trade Centre and the 12 burned to death by the IRA at La Mon House Hotel in 1978 is one of degree, not kind. Blair is a barrister by training. Would he have said as defence counsel that the defendant had indeed killed a woman, but that another man had killed 10 women and that therefore the defendant should be acquitted? Hitler murdered a million Jewish children; would Blair argue that it would have been quite all right if he had only killed 10, 000?
Dimly recognising how shaky its position is, the government has concocted a mixture of specious arguments. Blair insists that there is distinction between terrorists with, and those without, rational and achievable aims. ‘I may agree or disagree with it,’ he says of the IRA’s objective, ‘but you can hardly say it is a demand that no sensible person can negotiate on.’ If he ever stopped to reflect on what he was saying, he would see how disastrous this argument is: it can only mean that, if demands are negotiable, they may justify terrorist murder.
But his point is simply false. It suits Blair to treat bin Laden as a maniac whose aims are mad as well as bad, but this is far from plainly so. Some of his objectives may seem far-fetched, although restoring the caliphate or driving the infidel from ‘Al Andalus’ (Spain) is by no means more preposterous than Sinn Fein’s ostensible aim of creating a united, socialist, Gaelic-speaking Irish republic. (Anyone who represents Irish republicanism as a rational movement should be asked what other nationalist party names itself in a dead language.)
His assertive bluster only emphasises the fact that Blair does not like awkward questions. He was in petulant form at the Downing Street press conference last Tuesday, not least when Michael White of the Guardian pointed out that a good deal of recent terrorist violence has perfectly clear and attainable objectives, notably the removal of Western forces from the Middle East.
This is not only a problem for Blair, because it suggests what he alone refuses to acknowledge - a link between the Iraq war and terrorism; it is hard anyway to see any true difference between Gerry Adams and Abu Musab al-Zarqawi. Adams has spent most of his life as part of an organisation responsible for killing innocent people because he wants to drive British troops out of Ulster. Al-Zarqawi kills innocent people because he wants to drive British and American troops from Iraq - and he has every reason to be encouraged by the government’s capitulation to the IRA.
…
Beyond all that is something more disturbing still. If there is no moral distinction between Adams and al-Zarqawi, and Adams’s objectives are certainly no more honourable or rational than al-Zarqawi’s, there is one objective difference: Adams is white. No doubt Tony Blair doesn’t consciously think in terms of ‘darkies’ or Mahometan savages, but the grim and very dangerous truth is that the terrorists he will never negotiate with or give an inch to are Asian by birth or descent and Muslim by religion, whereas the terrorists he propitiates are Catholic, Aryan, white Europeans.
His distinction between good and bad terrorists is not only dishonest, cowardly and hypocritical, it is racist. If millions of embittered youths from Leeds to Basra to Islamabad notice that, should we be surprised?"
Re: Catholic terrorist who killed 9 innocent civilians freed by British
That is correct. The official Modi government version which many took at face value at the time has now been proven to be false.

Back to the topic, the IRA killed 1800 people in it’s 30 year war against the British state, mostly innocent civilians.
