History question - Did we call the Irish Republican Army "Roman Catholic Terrorists"?

[sabrina 1]

116. And I am explaining to you why you are wrong. Calling the IRA 'catholic terrorists' is ludicrous

They were EXCOMMUNICATED from the Catholic Church, which means they were no long 'religious' Catholics.

They were fighting for independence in THEIR OWN LAND. The Loyalists/protestants are descendants of the Brits who were sent to the North to cement the theft of land from the Native Irish/catholics.

IF the Native Irish had been fairly treated, rather than brutalized and demeaned and impoverished and eventually ethnically cleansed, see the Irish Holocaust eg, there would most likely have been little of what became the norm under British Occupation.

Much like South Africa where Mandela was also declared a 'terrorist'.

Funny how many countries were invaded by the same Colonial Imperialists, and not so funny that in all of those occupied lands, there has been nothing but bloodshed.

Maybe if we ended Imperial Occupations completely, there would be no more Irelands, no more South Africas, no more Somalias etc.

NONE of what has happened throughout the centuries in Ireland, not one of the uprisings, would have occurred had the ROOT CAUSE, the Imperial occupation of their land, not occurred.

Did any of those people you list as heroes target innocent civilians?

Yes, the British targeted innocent civilians. The 'rebels' were defending those civilians and as we know, in any WAR which is what the Irish Rebels were engaged in for CENTURIES, innocent people die.

Btw, were the Loyalists who murdered mourners at a funeral, TERRORISTS?

Bloody Sunday, I asked you before, were the perpetrators of that slaughter, TERRORISTS?

'War' is when an Empire murders civilians and steals their land!

'Terror' is when the Natives try to defend themselves!

And yes, the Founding Fathers were 'terrorists' as far as the British were concerned.

Many of them too were executed.

So much bloodshed, for Empire!
