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

[Zorra]

186. Thanks, sabrina1. The British occupation and holocaust of Ireland has been swept under the rug

of history so cleverly that relatively few people are aware of the true horror and monstrous oppression the Irish people suffered under for centuries at the hands of the British. So its really good to get it out in the open her, so more people will finally begin to understand what happened, and begin to understand that Irish Republican freedom fighters were/are just some frivolous terrorists.

The enormous injustices imposed upon the Irish people in their everyday lives, for centuries, was very similar to how Europeans and Euro-Americans treated the indigenous peoples of the Americas, Australia, Africa, etc.

They don't teach students about this in the US, except occasionally in colleges and universities. I suspect this thread is the first time more than a few DUers have become aware of the horror of the long oppression of Ireland.

Thanks again, sabrina1. You have a good heart, and a strong desire help bring about a good life and liberty, equality and justice for everyone, everywhere.
