Christo-fascist terrorists (IMO) -- Different from Christians
Islamo-fascist terrorists are now more prevalent -- I work with many peace-loving Muslims and others of Islam who denounce terrorism but do not get heard in the media
So
Islamo-fascist terrorists -- Different from Islam

They were terrorists.
An interesting related question is:
When the Mujaheddin were shooting down Russian helicopters and torturing and killing captured Russian soldiers, using weapons supplied by the USA. This after Russia invaded Afghanistan to protect the government from Islamic fundamentalist insurgents.
Were they freedom fighters or terrorists?
How are the Iraqi are the insurgents different?
Edit:
Catholic Crusader: Pushing for revisionist history perhaps? The IRA were a bunch of terrorists, the same as Al Qaeda.
As for bombing schoolkids: The Nutts Corner bomb on Bloody Friday is one example where the IRA tried to blow up a bus full of school kids.
Here is a list of those murdered on that day alone:

The divisions in Northern Ireland are based on political standpoints. Those being between groups that want to be part of the UK and those that want to be part of Eire.
The fact that these groups happen to be Catholic and Protestant is entirely after the fact. Religion as absolutly nothing to do with it.
I would like to know when and where this happened.

the question is motivation.
If the Catholic IRA were being motivated by their religious beliefs, then you could call them Catholic terrorists. If the motivation was cultural, then they would be terrorists that happen to be Catholic.
Does that make any sense?
Osama Bin Laden is definitely a Muslim terrorist, since it is his religion that motivates him to hate and kill.

"Catholic" terrorists are neither Catholic nor Christian.
"Christian" terrorists are not Christian.
"Muslim" terrorists are not Muslim.
Terrorism is against the teachings of all these faiths. Anyone who participates in terrorism commits apostasy, the abandonment of their religious faith.
With love in Christ.

You need to be reminded that anyone with an agenda has to drop their religious duty to love God and their neighbor to commit atrocities, and both so called Catholic and Protestants resorted to this.

terrorists of course.
so are the ones that bomb abortion clinics.
the only difference bieng that catholics as a group publicly condemn those kinds of actions and don't fund them.
they try to be part of the solution not part of the problem.
now if only we could get them to do that with thier pedophile priests....

They weren't "christian terrorists". They were not fighting in the name of religion.
I'm stating facts here, so I don't know why I'm getting thumbs down. I'm not condoning what they did - I think they're scum. But they were not fighting in the name of religion.

In Ireland they are both goofy and do not pay any attention to the Scriptures. There is a reason it is called Ire-land
