You're right, of course. Christians in the UK don't commit acts of terrorism.
Catholics and Protestants have never committed acts of terrorism in the UK. Especially not in Northern Ireland or Scotland, where sectarian violence never happened.
Christianity has never played a role in UK terrorism, and there definitely wasn't a clear split between Catholics and Protestants during the Irish Troubles. The Ulster Volunteer Force never bombed Catholic owned businesses in N.I, which was obviously a coincidence.
During the Troubles, nobody ever asked you which church you attended in order to ascertain whether or not you were an enemy. No, sir, never happened.
Absolutely none of the IRA were Catholics, and the UVF were definitely not Protestant loyalists. Christianity was not involved.
"Name Christian terrorists in the UK"
"I didn't mean that I meant Christian terrorists in the name of God"
"I didn't mean fighting for land, I meant Christian terrorists who terrorise cities"
Pathetic.
Also, ISIS are fighting over land, you utter dingbat.
Imagine a child in a school playground. This child pinches other children, but she only targets children belonging to a minority group. The pincher is subtle; she does it only when teachers aren't looking.
But other kids see her do it, and following her lead, they join in.
The kids being pinched don't deserve it. They just want to be left alone.
But the pinching child is telling everyone this minority group is dangerous. As evidence, the child shows everyone the scar of an old dog bite.
See, they say. Proof. Dogs bite; these children will too.
So the other kids (many of whom disliked this minority group anyway) are pinching, sometimes escalating to hitting, punching. The minority children, when they point this out, are told "when they go low, we go high" and encouraged to not retaliate. "Just ignore them."

17th century England was very familiar with the Black Death; it had been endemic in London for centuries, and regularly erupted with thousands of deaths each year.
In the year 1665, the Great Plague of London began.
Also in 1665, a furious protest document was printed.
(2) The title:
"THE SHUTTING UP Infected Houses As it is practised in ENGLAND Soberly Debated."
It was basically an anti-lockdown document listing "reasons" why quarantines were unnecessary, even harmful, during this epidemic of Black Death.
Some of them may sound familiar.
(3) It opens by saying "our breath may be infectious, our words are innocent", and asks that readers "add not sorrow to affliction".
The "First Reason against shutting Men up for the Plague" is simply:
"Were Men (those sociable Creatures) made thus, every Man to live by himself?"
Remembering the hideous anxiety I had as a young teenager - and watching the way Greta Thunberg is sneered at, bullied and mocked by supposed adults - by YOU, @piersmorgan - reminds me that I wouldn't have lasted two minutes doing what Greta is doing. I'd have committed suicide.
Greta Thunberg has incredible courage to face the shitstorm of bullies she encounters every day. Piers Morgan has relentlessly sneered at her, mocked her, mimicked her - a fully grown adult, on television, online.
I wouldn't have survived what he - he alone - has put her through.
Piers Morgan enjoys ridiculing her. He is loathsome.
Weinstein reminds me of "The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde".
Jekyll is a renowned doctor with an excellent moral reputation.
He wants to keep his reputation as a good, decent man, while also engaging in - gasp! - debauchery.
Jekyll wants the best of both worlds.
So...
... Jekyll invents a potion that transforms him into Hyde, an evil and cruel man, thus disguising his identity and allowing him to indulge in his vices. Voila! Jekyll retains the respect and admiration due to a successful, decent man, while also committing horrific acts.
Jekyll's desire and decision to do immoral things means he was never the decent man everyone thought he was. Hyde isn't the mask - Hyde is his true face. The potion is a means of ensuring Jekyll continues enjoying the benefits of being a good man, without being a good man.
Brexiters are lying when they claim the EU has deprived them of fishing rights. What actually happened? British fishermen sold their fishing quotas to other EU countries to make quick millions.
Each country is free to share out its fishing national quota, but Britain let fishers sell their quotas abroad. The Dutch ship Cornelis Vrolijk owns 23% of the entire UK quota - which was willingly sold to them by British fishermen, eager for the chance to make a quick buck.
What Brexiters won't say is that 5 UK families own a third of the UK's entire fishing quota (29%):
Lunar (Alexander Buchan + family)
Interfish (Jan Colam + family)
Klondyke (Robert Tait + family)
Andrew Marr International (Andrew Marr + family)
JW Holdings (Sir Ian Wood + family)
