I could have respond with some anti Irish attack. Which many in our country believe.

Which you funded for many years :-)

I saw it as the IRA. Nothing else.

This thread is about Terrorism & as seen over the past 50 years, that, regardless of nation, has been funded.

Lets try not "attacking" anyone please

Understanding that non Americans attacking Americans is an Internationally Accepted norm. Resulting in most Americans, including myself, laughing at them. Which I believe most attackers fail to understand.

Just trying a little levity.

On a more serious note, as per the IRA reference, and to The Subject:

Many decades ago, in New York City, I accompanied a fellow Police Officer of Irish descent to his local Irish Bar. You have to understand that NYC is, as other large Immigrant Cities. A Patchwork Quilt of different neighborhoods. With different Cultures, Languages. Races, Religions, Little (fill-in the Countries), etc. Where those, not of their neighborhood, are not really welcome on a social bases.

When we entered, I was looked at with suspicion, but my friend said I was OK. And we sat down, having a few beers and listening to the popular songs of the day on the Juke Box.

An hour or so later. The music changed to Anti Black and Tan (Sirius B understands) and Anti British. Two men approached, with a basket in hand, asking each patron for money to support the IRA. As they approached, my friend told me "I better" contribute. Understanding the IRA threat, I dropped $10 into the basket. Afterwards, my friend said that this was normal intimidation by IRA supporters. This incident was reported.

Wondering what the real support of Terrorist Groups are. And how much is really a terrorizing of their supposed supporters.

I dropped $10 into the basket.

you "unwittingly" funded terrorists...

All inside that bar appeared to give money. How many really supported this Terrorist Group?

My contribution was not done "unwittingly".

Just using discretion regarding their intimidation.

They must have had some s**t scary baskets in those days.

Since the romanization of Arabic is typically based on pronunciation rather than spelling, some confusion may arise from several letters of the English acronym not matching any initial letters of the Arabic transliteration. If this bothers you, feel free to pretend it stands for Dumb A**hole Extremist Shi'a Haters instead.

Personally I believe you are just picking holes in what I think is a totally believable and honest description of the incident.

MOGADISHU, Somalia (AP) — The death toll from the most powerful bomb blast witnessed in Somalia’s capital rose to 231 with more than 275 injured, making it the deadliest single attack ever in this Horn of Africa nation, a senator said Sunday.

Abshir Abdi Ahmed cited doctors at hospitals he had visited in Mogadishu. Many of the bodies in mortuaries had not yet been identified, he said. Officials feared the toll would continue to climb from Saturday’s truck bomb that targeted a busy street near key ministries.

Doctors struggled to assist horrifically wounded victims, many burned beyond recognition. “The hospital is overwhelmed by both dead and wounded,” said Dr. Mohamed Yusuf, the director of Medina hospital. “This is really horrendous, unlike any other time in the past.”

Ambulance sirens echoed across the city as bewildered families wandered in the rubble of buildings, looking for missing relatives. “In our 10 year experience as the first responder in #Mogadishu, we haven’t seen anything like this,” the Aamin Ambulance service tweeted.

Grief overwhelmed many.

“There’s nothing I can say. We have lost everything,” wept Zainab Sharif, a mother of four who lost her husband. She sat outside a hospital where he was pronounced dead after hours of efforts by doctors to save him.
