EITB 24: "Islamic Terrorism Vastly Greater Than IRA's'
EITB24.Com, the Basque news and Information Channel, observed July 30, 2005, in an unsigned article, that: "Britain's decades-long struggle with the Irish Republican Army appears to be coming to a close as the country confronts the threat of Islamic terrorism on its home soil. Analysts say this month's London bombings almost certainly did not directly influence the IRA's dramatic announcement that it was ending its war against Britain. But the new reality of terror groups willing to carry out carnage on an indiscriminate scale may be causing Europe's paramilitary movements to change tack.
EITB24.Com said, "A key concern may be the urge for such groups to establish a moral distinction between themselves and the new breed of terrorists." the channel quoted Michael Swetnam of the Potomac Institute of Policy Studies in the United States as saying: Until 9/11 there was a great debate about freedom fighters and terrorism, but now there is a sharp division between the two," said "Now a terrorist is an evil person who kills people and using the tactics of terror is becoming very unpopular with the freedom fighters of the world.
I don't think Muslim fighters really care what "the freedom fighters of the world," whoever they are, think. If they did, they would never carry out attacks. Trend analysis suggests that the attacks with continue, regardless of what the IRA or others think, as long as the U.S. and her allies are perceived as occupying Muslim land, waging war on Muslims, controlling Muslim resources and propping up dictatorial leaders.
