Exactly, much more was done to raise money to keep the killing going, on both sides, in Ireland than to stop it.
However, the scale is minute compared to what is happening in the Islamic world.
Another thing, You do not see those within the community who say they want to stop the violence in the Islamic communities who know where these people hide turning them over to the authorities. There are cells, world wide, each exists in broad daylight. Most taught by radical Imans openly... who comes forth to expose them, to show the way to cleanse the Islamic community of this cancer?
They walk past and do not pick-up the phone.
Choice.

People have to understand that a bad "one of us", is not better than a good "one of them".

Mother Teresa did some good deeds, but she was a Roman Catholic.
Mahatma Gandhi did some good deeds, but he was an Indian.
Joesph Stalin did some bad things, but he was a Soviet.
But? But! What the hell difference does it make? It's what they did, how they acted, what they accomplished, that defines them.

If you see/hear someone doing what you feel is wrong, say so. Doesn't matter if it's "one of us" or "one of them", speak out. That goes double for someone doing wrong, while claiming to represent you. Don't let anyone use you or your name, for evil, just because they are "one of us".
