How would things have been different in the UK if the IRA had

Well, we all know we can't crack down on the IRA and it's sympathizers too much, resiting them is exactly what they want us to do! We can't risk radicalizing more Irishmen, Patrick O'Murphy the mayor of London (which is may remind you currently 70% Irish Catholic) told me so!

Honestley I think it would have made them less effective, and lead to greater crackdowns.

Are you implying that anyone has ever said that we shouldn't crack down on Islamic terrorist organizations too much and that doing so will radicalize more Muslims? No one has ever said that, what people are saying is that implementing anti-Muslim policies (such as a ban on the Quran and building of mosques advocated by some far-right parties in the West) will radicalize more Muslims, not that we shouldn't be too harsh towards Islamic terrorists.

They're the same in the popular mind, retards have the gall to compare the IRA to ISIS often enough anyway

Only in Britain

Yes yes merely admitting that the imams are shitheads who should be surveilled is considered an "anti muslim" policy.

Shove it Abdul.

>if the IRA had used Islamist-style tactics instead of western ones?

I think you'll find that many 'islamist' terrorists from the early period took inspiration from IRA style campaigns.

>>2916447
Such a policy would be discriminatory against Muslims, yes.

>killing hundreds
ISIS attacks have done more scaring than killing same with IRA, my parents were both a train away from one that got blown up. Also just wounding not killing does sometimes give you moral high ground as then people can say you just want to negotiate not genocide

We all know where this heading in less than a generation I think it's time you drop the pretense Mohammed...

And just like the IRA ultimately lost so will you :^)

Free market rules.

It would be completely counterproductive as the IRA was dependent on the support of their communities and international sympathy in America and continental Europe for their cause. Committing horrific atrocities will rapidly drain their support, and the British would easily be able to portray themselves as having the moral high ground.
