Let's see now...

Religious fanatics? Check. (Catholic and Muslim)

Callous disregard for innocents like little kids? Check.

Hard-core refuses to give up violence? Check.

Uses corrupt methods including robberies, drug smuggling and kidnapping for financing? Check.

Yeah, nothing similar in the IRA and Al-Qaeda. Right. Sure.

You are supporting a bunch of murderous thugs.

The sensible ones gave up being terrorists. One actually shook hands with the Queen.
The ones you support would have killed her and her children and grandchildren. Even babies.
