Actually, as a former law student who went to a good law school, my experience is that most law students are pretty sharp & open minded people...not given to political correctness...however this supposed "law student" is changing my mind:
In response to my question about whether "Islam could be the cause of Islamic terror" --
Blackacre "By your reasoning, but for Christianity, there would have been no IRA, genocide of Native Americans, or instability in the English throne for several hundred years. Really, dude... you think Islam is the root of the terrorism? And the schism between Presbyterianism and Anglicanism is the root of the American Revolution? I hate to break it to you, but there are other reasons for terrorism in the world today. Think politics...

But for Christianty your wouldnt have the IRA? What? How stupid can you possibly be.
The idealogy BEHIND the IRA had nothing whatsoever to do with any religion. ISLAM TERROR AND WAR everywhere in the world, with the exception of maybe Dafur, has EVERYTHING to do with fullfilling the mandate of the Islam. Jihad is the fuel of these conflicts, and BUT FOR ISLAM, there would be no such conception!

Blackacre imagines a simple little world of bad guys and good guys. Im a "bad guy" with whom he must fling as much PC inspired dung as possible. Reasoning be damned.

Interesting: you are completely disclaiming world politics, regional sovereignty, special interests of various groups, local political issues, resource control, and any issue other than Islam in supporting the current crop of terrorists? The IRA was a group of people utilizing terrorist tactics to achieve a political goal wherein their group had a common religion and the group they fought had a different religion (insomuch as Protestants and Catholics have different religions). While religion was a common element to the IRA terrorists, the terrorism was of a political nature. My point was (and is) that the current terrorist activities have a lot more to do with politics (invasion, economic considerations, sovereignty) than with religion. It's the mask, sir, not the cause...
Why are you so Hell-bent on making out Islam as evil? Do you work for the Bush administration?
For a "former law student who went to a good law school", you certainly don't notice many subtleties. Nice try at being a propagandist, though.
FYI: Ummmm... I actually graduated and passed the bar several years ago. Your assumption that I am still a student, though, certainly does justice to your research and analysis skills...
And: I don't imagine a world of "good" and "bad" guys. That's more your bright-line world. I imagine a world with a bit more complexity than foaming at the mouth and shouting anti-Islamic slogans to mobilize a base of political bigots.

Really you are an expert in the conflict in Ireland are you. It has its roots in Cromwells expansion into Ireland with the explicit aim of ridding it of Catholicism.
Schools in Northern Ireland are segregated to this day on the basis of religion, how does that happen without Christianity?
Edit:
And how many Protestants were members of the IRA then, answer is zero, it was about religion AS WELL as politics.
