When did the Irish Republican Army start?
During Irish History there have been a number of groups that used the title IRA. The first IRA can date itself back to 1913, known then as the Irish Volunteers, and took the name "Irish Republican Army" in 1919. It is now often referred to as the "Old IRA". Since then there have been splits which have led to groups using "IRA", including:
The Provisional IRA (PIRA), founded in 1969 and best known for paramilitary campaigns during the 1970s-1990s; The term 'IRA' is almost always now used to when talking about them, but there are others.
The Official IRA was the remainder of the IRA after the Provisional IRA split away in 1969. They are now inactive in the military sense. The 'Real' IRA, and The Continuity IRA were 1990s breakaway from the PIRA.
No, Osama bin Laden has not been in the US since 1979. He was killed May 1, 2011 when U.S. soldiers told him to surrender. When he didn't, they neutralized his threat. In observance of, and respect toward Muslim tradition, he was given a burial at sea.
How many of the taliban have been killed?
The Taliban has lost 30,000 and their wounded is unknown, but it's probably double, maybe even triple that, but they still have 6,000 left...
and we have only lost 2,000 since the war in Afghanistan started, but lost 4,000 in Iraq which means we've lost 6,000 in total.BURNS WHEN I PEE!
Which countries did America invade after 9-11?
No country, to be exact, attacked the US on September 11, 2001. No one, at first wanted to take the credit. However, Osama Bin Laden and the terrorist/political/religious group Al Qaeda he is said to have been affiliated with are now credited with the attack. The countries that harbored the terrorists were primarily Pakistan and Afghanistan, but they were not at fault in the escape of the terrorists from the United States soldiers. They have not found them because of the intense mountainous terrain and vast social network that Osama Bin Laden maintains.
The September 11th attacks, which occurred in 2001, were perpetrated by the al'Qaeda. They are active in Iraq, Sudan, and Pakistan.
Osama bin Laden, leader of the al'Qaeda, is generally blamed for ordering the attacks.
Who fought against the Irish Republican Army?
The Irish Republican Army evolved from the Irish Volunteers who staged the Easter Rising in 1916. In 1919, an elected assembly was formed in Ireland and the Volunteers were recognized by this assembly as an offical army. For three years the IRA used hit and run tactics against the occupying British forces in the Irish War for Independence.
Following the Anglo-Irish Treaty of 1921, which established the Republic of Ireland as its own soverign nation, those within the IRA that supported the treaty formed the Irish national Army, those that did not fought a civil war with their former comrades but eventually lost. They remained together afterwards, intending to overthrow the Irish Free State and British controled Northern Ireland and creating a unified free Irish nation.
Keeping the IRA title, the anti-treaty splinter group continued its attacks against both the Republic of Ireland and the British forces in the North until 1969 when the group split once again into the Provisional Irish Republican Army, who supported more traditional Irish republican views and the Offical IRA who began embracing Marxism.
This newest encarnation of the IRA, or Provos, launched a thirty year campaign against British forces in Northern Ireland and various pro-British para-military orginisations that claimed nearly two thousand lives.
The Offical IRA began their own campaign but called a ceasefire in 1972 before disbanding entirely by the end of the decade.
1997 marked the end of the armed campaign for the IRA while its political wing, Sinn Fein, continues to grow more powerful in both Northern Ireland and in the Republic of Ireland.

How many people died fighting the taliban war?
Not Enough!
Over 200,000, mostly in Afghanistan. The Taliban are a religious group within Islam, many of which have no interest in terrorism. There are estimated to be about 25,000 Taliban fighters or terrorists fighting the US and our allies which is what most people want to know about.
The person who said "many of which have no in interest in terrorism" either sympathises with the Taliban or is uneducated on the topic. The Taliban is a terrorist hate group which are responsible for multiple massacre campaigns, Human trafficking, the opression of women and terrorism against civilions.
The person may have meant that most Muslims have no interrest in terrorism. But the Taliban is a terrorist group who kill and opress thousands of people, especially women.
Why are Israel and Hamas fighting in the Gaza Strip?
The Israelis and the Palestinians are not fighting over the Gaza Strip. There are
presently no Israelis living there and no Israeli military forces stationed there.
The area is presently governed by Hamas, a political/military entity listed by the
US State Department as an international terrorist organization, and with the
explicit, publicly expressed goal of destroying Israel. Weapons and ammunition
are constantly flowing into the area, from Sinai, through tunnels under the
border policed by Egypt, and from time to time, rockets are launched from
inside Gaza and land in civilian neighborhoods in nearby Israeli cities. Also
from time to time, Israel mounts a military operation designed both to take
rocket manufacturing and launching facilities out of operation, and to register
its disapproval of their use. Like, say, the US might do, if, say, rockets launched
from Tijuana were to rain down on residential neighborhoods in San Diego.
What is the use of terrorists?
To use force or the threat of force as a means to achieve political objectives.
What was the Islamic terrorist group called?
Answer 1
Terrorists are terrorists. They have no religion. Anyhow, if one nation subjects another to oppression, exploitation, and cruelty, some people take up arms against the oppressors. They are called Freedom Fighter, not terrorists. Take the case of Ireland freedom fighters fighting against England, or study the Freedom Movement of America. You will find Christian Terrorists fighting for their Freedom. Vietnamese Freedom fighters sacrificed their lives during their freedom movement against America while American Terrorist Government bombed Veitnam and killed millions of innocent citizens. Even Bertrand Russel, a British Philosopher, termed American invasion of Vietnam Terrorism. What has NATO forces done in Iraq and Afghanistan? Isn't it Terrorism? Killing of millions of innocent citizens! Any group involved in Terrorist activities is Terrorist, be it Muslim, Christian, Jew or Hindu.
Answer 2
There are a wide variety of Muslim terrorist organizations, with numerous different names and organization styles. There is not one Muslim terrorist organization. Some of the more "famous" ones are: Al-Qaeda (International), Hezbollah (Levant), Hamas (Levant), Fatah (Levant), Al-Shabaab (Somalia), Al-Aqsa Martyrs Brigade (Levant), Islamic Jihad (Levant), and the Special Purpose Islamic Regiment (Caucasus).
Many have certain discernible characteristics. The most common and identifiable Muslim terrorist action is the suicide bomber who blows himself up to take out some enemies as well as himself, usually civilians but occasionally militants. Muslim terrorist organizations tell their membership that the fight in which they are engaged is part of the holy Islamic struggle of Jihad and anyone who opposes them is not properly guided. Therefore, Muslim terrorist organizations will identify what sect of Islam they belong to and whether or not they oppose the other sects. Most Muslim terrorists wish to inspire fear in their enemies and therefore primarily attack civilians, considering them part of the enemy. Some "moderate" non-associated clerics have defended these activities claiming that the civilians represent part of the group that "is opposed to Islam". Since Muslim terrorists exist in countries with a weak internal support structure, in many cases such as with Hezbollah, Hamas, or Fatah, they will use their own funds to build schools, parks, hospitals, and other social services in the communities they occupy. It provides goodwill with the local inhabitants and allows them to more effectively spread whatever messages they may wish to say. Finally, Muslim terrorist organizations like Hezbollah, Hamas, and Fatah have all actively engaged in elections (Hezbollah in Lebanon, Hamas and Fatah in Palestine) with their own political parties. If the governments formed after these elections were not desirable to these parties, they engaged in military actions to force the national government to capitulate to their desires. In the case of Hezbollah this created a violent stand-off in Beirut and in the case of Hamas and Fatah, this prompted a Palestinian Civil War in Gaza and the West Bank.
It is important to note, however, that most Muslims believe terrorism to be against the values and teachings of Islam, especially the idea that killing an innocent person is permissible pursuant to Qur'an 5:32.
Where was Osama bin Laden hiding?
Obviously, that information isn't publicly held at this time.
Bin Laden, originally from Saudi Arabia and an offshoot from the Saudi Royal Family had enough cash to move quite freely before 9/11. Even since 9/11 his movements, while undoubtedly restricted, are still possible.
The two general theories on his whereabouts are that he's moving nightly between the Afghan and Pakistan, assisted by the Taliban, or that this victim of long term kidney disease is now dead and we just haven't confirmed it.
Considering the rather huge bounties on his head, the question of, "Why has no-one turned him in yet?" loom large -- if he's alive.
What is the religion of Hamas?
Hamas is an Arab Muslim Terrorist and Paramilitary Organization. Hamas operates out of the Gaza Strip and Qatar. (Prior to 2011, Hamas operated out of Syria, but their Anti-Assad position during Arab Spring got them evicted from Syria.) Some particular elements of Hamas Ideology include:
Jihadist Ideology
In terms of politics, Hamas is a Jihadist organization. Jihadism is a political ideology whose goal is to bring a particularly repressive version of the religious tenets of Islam into the daily functioning of a government and its laws. Additionally, it believes that violence in defense of the faith is the preferred way to do this. Jihadism is a political ideology rooted in Islamic religious concepts, but not part of the Islamic religion per se. Hamas argues that its Jihadist struggle is part of the holy Islamic struggle of Jihad and anyone who opposes them is not properly guided (in Islam). Because of the religious sectarian orientations, Hamas identifies itself as avowedly Sunni, but accepts Shiites because of Iranian funding.
Anti-Israel Sentiment
In the Jihadist conception, only Muslims should be in power in the State and any non-Muslim minorities should have a secondary role if they should have one at all, whereas Jews are too "uppity" in having created a state where they are in the dominant position. Second, Israel is situated in territory which used to be governed by Muslims for nearly 1300 years (with a century-long break under the Crusader States). As a result, Israel is considered a usurpation of historical Islamic authority whereas European countries (for example) never had Islamic authority before.
Anti-Semitism (Jew-Hatred)
Hamas is a virulently Jew-hating Organization. Not only do they oppose Israel's very existence, they have references in their charter to the elimination of all Jews throughout the world. While Islam is not inherently Anti-Semitism, its doctrines are easily to meld to an Anti-Semitic world vision and historically have been melded in such ways. Islam has several Anti-Semitic thrusts. In addition to the crucifixion of Jesus the Messiah (which is not deicide in Islam since Jesus is not God in Islamic theology and because Jesus eluded the attempt to crucify him), Muslims have made the argument that Jews are the killers of the Prophets plural, even though Jesus was the only one of the 35 prophets in the Qur'an who Jews attempted to kill (per Islamic teachings). Additionally, Muhammad and the early Muslims had negative political and military relationships with Arabian Jews which led to Anti-Semitism having a greater prominence in the early Islamic tradition. Hamas has endorsed and promoted all of these Anti-Semitic Views.
Terrorism and Attacking Civilians
The most common and identifiable Hamas terrorist action is the suicide bomber who blows himself up to take out some enemies as well as himself, but Hamas has increasingly used missiles and rockets. Most Muslim terrorists wish to inspire fear in their enemies and therefore primarily attack civilians, considering them part of the enemy.
Palestinian Nationalism
Hamas argues that the Palestinians are the indigenous people of the southwest Levant and Hamas is aggrieved that people from abroad would come to the land that their people's parents, grandparents, and great-grandparents had lived on and worked for as long as they could remember. Hamas refuses to help settle Palestinian Refugees and encourages the children and grandchildren of refugees to remember where in current-Israel they came from: the exact village and street. The point is to create an emotional and intractable grievance to push for Palestinians having the right to go back to their homes in contrast to more realistic solutions.
Welfare for Public Support
Since Hamas exists in Palestine, which has a weak internal support structure, it will use its own funds to build schools, parks, hospitals, and other social services in the communities it occupies. It provides goodwill with the local inhabitants and allows them to more effectively spread whatever messages they may wish to say.
Irreverence Towards Democracy
Hamas has actively engaged in elections in Palestine with its own political parties. However, the engagement is a farce, because if the governments formed after the elections were not desirable to Hamas, Hamas has engaged in militant actions to force the national government to capitulate to their desires. As a result of Hamas's discontent there was a Palestinian Civil War in Gaza and the West Bank. Hamas continues to murder Fatah militants and politicos in the Gaza Strip as a method of securing power.
Charter
