Why did the English/British oppress the Irish?

Because the CoE is still triggered by the Pope and the Irish are Catholic, so it's the only way to direct there anger.

Did they try and convert them? They could have forced Catholics to pay more in taxes until they eventually converted like Muslims did with Christians.

Because they aren't people and will never be

They tried that, and the Irish got super pissed about it. You know Northern Ireland was the most Catholic area until the godless protestants came over and colonized it.

Anglos being autistic took it too far and just made Irish Catholicism even more resilliant out of pure spite, kind of like what happened with protestantism under some continental Catholic states.

Jizya on the other hand is just a little annoying, so over time eventually you'd just want to be rid of it even if it would take centuries for everyone to become Muslim.

Irish are cunts
