I read something...

....here.... (Juan Cole entry)

That reminded me of another thing that someone pointed out to me recently.
****warning*****political commentary approaching****warning****

The IRA have been bombing London for decades.
Not once have I heard of an incident where a church has been attacked in retaliation, or where Catholics have been confronted in the street and held to answer for their entire religion.

Hmmm.
Double standards much?
