Al Qaeda: the new IRA

They are both terrorist organisations that have a history of murdering innocent people.
I just find it interesting how the focus has changed so much since Spetember 11. Of course the IRA have had a cease fire in effect for years(lets hope it stays that way forever) and now people are starting to forget how bad the IRA were and hate Al Qaeda instead. This is also reflected in movies and TV.

I wonder who will be the next hated terrorist organisation in ten years? A Russian, Chinese or African group maybe?

I can't speak to the IRA but at least the IRA doesn't enslave their women and treat them as dogs. And if you draw a picture of Jesus or Mary, they don't cut your head off.

OP, you are a coward!

IRA in the same sentence with Al Qaeda? Spend more than 30 seconds on wikipedia before you proclam to be an expert on anything!

There is no such thing as al Qaida, it's as real as Kaiser soze! "Rat on your pop and al Qaida will get you!" The new boogeyman invented by neo cons to justify their actions.
