ISIS vs The IRA ?

Simon2015

If ISIS had to fight the IRA who would win ?

When the Sun Hits

ISIS obviously.

osarusan

Society.

Well the IRA done the Taiban already so no reason why they couldn't go for the double.

I think the IRA takes ISIS, but Godzilla takes the RA!

Arsemageddon

In what a three-legged race? A bake off? a game of connect 4?

You need to be a bit more specific.

As you can probably tell from my signature, this is my kind of thread.

Maybe this will give you an understanding of the outcome.

The RA would wipe then out.......

IRA would car bomb them back to the caves .....;-)

ISIS would destroy them. For the simple fact that the IRA were the 'gentlemen of terrorism', as PJ Gallagher put it. They would telephone ISIS to warn them that they were about to bomb them, whereas ISIS would offer no such courtesy.

ISIS obviously, they have more money and a far larger population of weirdos to call upon.

Terrorism is a word English people use to describe any particular action they don't like. The IRA are not terrorists. Don't you know what the Irish went through at the hands of the British? If it wasn't for the IRA, we'd have ended up like Scotland or Whaleland.

Any violent acts against the British are 100% justified. If you disagree then you should open a history book.

You don't hear the Wolfe Tones making ISIS songs, now do you? There's your answer.

You've obviously never seen the damage 1lb of semtex can do when wedged firmly up a radioactive dinosaur's hole. Funnily enough, I haven't either, but I'd imagine the dinosaur would not be in fighting mood afterwards.

I was under the impression that this was a satirical thread. Nevertheless, since you seem to have taken offence at my comment please allow me to explain the context in which PJ Gallagher (and therefore myself) used the term 'terrorist'. He was making a joke about how the English used to call the IRA 'terrorists', but pointed out that they would take back the IRA tomorrow as they were gentlemen compared to what they have to deal with now in the form of radical Islam. I am quite well up on my history old chap, perhaps you just need a sense of humour.

And I might advise you to open a geography book. Never heard of such a place ;-)

Sorry, I don't have a sense of humour. I'm in a human body but I'm not human. Michael Jackson was mostly plastic and he wasn't a barbie doll now was he?

Why would ISIS and the IRA fight anyway?
All ISIS want to do is promote Islam, the religion of peace. While on the other hand, the IRA like to set off bombs, but they only do it for the craic (I hope).

I thought he was being satirical himself. Surely no one can take that ****e seriosuly.

Exactly what had two kids out shopping of an afternoon in Warrington done to oppress the Irish?

I'll give ISIS one thing, at least they strap the bombs to themselves and not pussy out like the 'RA bombing by proxy.

One can certainly examine history and come up with rationalisations and excuses. Anyone who thinks the IRA weren't terrorists, at least in the latter stages of the 20th century, or their actions were justified is simply a moron. The same goes for the so called 'loyalists'. Terrorists and criminal scumbags.

Whatever Islamic terrorist groups that carried out the suicide bombings encouraged people to join them and blow themselves up. Isn't it part of their religion to die for 'Allah' or something?
The IRA were small compared to the British army. Don't you think it would be a better tactic to plant a bomb and get the hell out of their to fight another day than to blow yourself up and consequently reduce the number of IRA members?

I'm not sure you understand what bombing by proxy entailed.

If they'd have confined themselves to military targets then one could have some respect for them. One could even include members of the British government in that at a push.

Targeting civilians made them terrorists, cowards and scum. As bad as the British they so hated for doing the same to Ireland.

Father Ted Crilly

I am 1000000000000.34203% sure that we should have a United Ireland. Some Northerners say they're British. I say, **** off home then.

A United Ireland would definitely reduce the amount of violence caused by the IRA. I find it ridiculous to say that. We shouldn't need to have phrases like "United Ireland". Those Brits ruined the country.

My subconscious mind ignores sarcasm. If you're trying to be sarcastic it isn't working.

Can anyone tell me if there is a thread that promotes or is at least on the topic of a United Ireland?

ISIS. They would just butcher a few villages (man, woman, and child), and video themselves executing the people.

The people at the top plan the fighting, and use the stupid people to blow themselves up. It gets rid of those afraid to fight, whilst killing the enemy.

You seem to know a lot about ISIS. Should I be worried? :eek:

Congratulations, my 69th post was made in response to you. Lucky you.

I think the IRA would win. Those bombs that caused ripped the center of Manchester apart, The Docklands & Bishopsgate would have huge body counts without no warnings. Plus I don't know how ISIS would manage to land such a large force in Ireland. The IDF vs ISIS or Hizbollah vs ISIS would be a more fair fight.

I propose we airlift the entire membership of the IRA / ISIL and all who sail with them to the great continent of Antarctica. We can sell the PPV rights to SKY (BATTLE OF THE CENTURY!!!!!!!) and make a financial killing. Whoever wins this fight to the death gets a free polar bear to cuddle up with. Or a penguin....whichever.





....ps ...the airlift is one-way Ryanair. Michael O' Leary and Rupert Murdoch have already expressed interest.

No polar bears in Antarctica, the penguins killed them all.

Go home, Ted. You're drunk.

Instead of a long winded campaign each side should send in their crack troops. That would reduce it to the pilot burners v the child rapists.

God..

God would win, he's strike both of them down with righteous fury and lay waste to their armies.

Either that or the winner would rape all the men and enslave all the women...

So the IRA could bomb civilians in ISIS Land?
