When in Belfast, be sure to look up the headquarters of the Ulster Freedom Fighters.  They're the radical Orangemen who decorate their buildings with murals of masked gunmen carrying assault weapons and displaying the "bloody red hand", a modern symbol of terrorism in Northern Ireland.  Golly, the liberal media had you thinking that the IRA were the bad guys, right?

Do you mean lately?\n\nBoston, as well as New York City, at one time was a place where the IRA could expect to raise a lot of money because it has a high population of Irish Catholics.

i dont know... its crazy..... the law in NI is slightly different, but still, you can get them.\n\nit's always amazed me, especially as you can openly bye the Remote detonators (From a remote control car / or a cheap pager, and page the No) or even you can bye the pressure pads too (from a scrap yard / most cars now have them in the seats, so when you sit down with power in the car, the seat belt light comes on) and obviously timing devices and command wire ones are just so so easy to make..... (believe it or not you can even bye electronic detonators too)... \nbut then again, as all this is so easy to get hold of / make, I'm sure people know hoe to make explosives now a days anyway, like anfo / ans / a/f mix or even just fire bombs from pressurised petrol......\n\nits frightening how these things are so widely available, but then again, why bye it now a days when you could make it untraced....\n\ndont get me TOTALLY wrong, im all against it, im as shocked as you............. good question\n\nAlex, fertiliser bombs are not as easy as bags of fertiliser and a det..... lol........ thats the ANS explosive i mentioned previous.... and you need to get the mix right and the grounding perfect.... lol, not just explosive fertiliser

The answer is YES\n\nIn the "Global War On Terror" where Terrorists are the enemy, YES Most Terrorists are Muslim. You left a quantitative loop hole "most" and therefore it must be recognized also that NOT ALL Terrorists are Muslim and conversely NOT ALL Muslims are Terrorists. But in the current world the largest portion of Terrorists that pose a threat the to the national security of most (if not all) free and sovereign nations are Muslim extremist.\n\nNow about the IRA... International Terrorists... same as Al Quida and Islamic Jihad etc... \n\nTimothy McVeigh - Domestic Terrorist - Only a threat to national security of his home nation (well... when he was alive that is) \nMAFIA, Organized Crime, etc... - No direct threat to national security - in fact - probably operate to some degree with respect for governmental authority as those criminal organizations that have been most successful have been able to "work the system" to their favor and take advantage of the laws of the land  - i.e. Al Capone would never have been able to build his empire (started by boot-legging Canadian Whiskey into The US) had the 18th Amendment never been created.

They not post any new SRB information.  If this is the case then the latest SRB information that is posted will still be in effect.

Offically no.  The Nazi party or anything like it is illegal in Germany now.  But, depite that there is an underground Nazi party still there.

I suspect they are years away...unless they use low tech delivery solutions (van full of uranium etc). It is a very real threat though and I for one are pleased to see that the west are at least trying to resolve the situation (peacefully?) before it get out of hand.\n\nToo many countries have the technology now for the west to play policeman anymore - new world order anyone?

The Israeli MOSSAD definately did as they DID warn Benjimin Netenyahu BEFORE the explosions.\n\nThe London Underground was conducting live secret exersizes simulating the exact events at the exact times and exact locations of the real events! the odds of this happening by chance have been calculated using the insurance actuary as used by the insurance industry for assesing insurable risk.  \n\nThe odds of these events happening as planned in the exersize, at the correct locations and times are the same as me picking 1 grain of sand at random, from anywhere on the entire planet (including under the oceans and seas) and you being able to pick the exact same grain of sand at random.\n\nthat equates to a 1 in 3 followed by 41 zeros. \n\nor one in 300,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000.  I don't think that there is a commonly recognized name for a number as big as that.\n\nIN OTHER WORDS, REALISTICALLY IMPOSSIBLE!\n\nIn other words, the perpertraitors where patsies recruited to 'play the part of' terrorists. Unknowingly becoming the victims of a state sponsored terrorist event!\n\nWe only have the media and MI5's say so that any of the other evidence collected afterwards is genuine, and these are the pople who lied repeatedly about WMD in Iraq and about other terrorist plots that have come to nothing. \n\nThe only independent investigations into 7/7 by private individuals have discovered many discrepencies with the 'official version'. That is why there will never be an independent and full investigation or inquiry into 7/7.

I will disagree in the case of the IRA mentioned here.\n\nThe IRA had support in the USA for a long time, despite it killing many civilians. The turning point was after the Enniskllen Bomb in 1988, and even after this millions of dollars was donated to the IRA every year from American sympathisers.\n\nThe IRA got what it wanted through terrorism. If it had not started an armed campaign it would not have got Sinn Fein into an assembly, or greater links towards an 'united Ireland'. They didn't kill for the sake of it. Terrorists kill because they can get something out of it. Are you seriously telling me that if they would get what they wanted without fighting then they would fight? Terrorism brings rewards. Also, terrorism remains a last resort - unless the terrorists are fantasists or just plain criminals.\n\nThe question is very difficult to answer. Every person must ask themselves what would they do if something happened that they disagreed with AND all democratic means of protest against this were exhausted or forbidden.\n\nMy definition of freedom fighter is fighting when all other possible non-violent ways of protest are exhausted (thus Al Qu'ida are terrorists because they did not seek to pursue democratic, peaceful means from their conception). Civil disobedience is not terrorism. Otherwise we would lable the Civil Rights Movement in America terrorists, and that would be completely inaccurate.\n\nI recommend people read 'Les Justes' by Camus, to help put themselves in such a position, if only in thought.

If you're Mahmoud Ahmadinejad or a neo-Nazi or something, it's a myth.  Here on planet Earth, however, it's a horrifying reality.  I've seen actual footage -to say it's horrific is something of an understatement, I think.

They both lay claim to the same land .   one historically, and one right now.  It is similar to what happened in Northern Ireland and I must say I am really impressed by how the peace there has been working well.  The armed units of the IRA are seeing that economic development  and stability cures  a lot of  problems that happen when no one has a job.  I believe if overnight 95% of Palestinian men were employed the religious conflicts would be worked out or would just go way by themselves
