What did the Irish Republican Army want?

Basically, the British invaded 800 years ago.

The I.R.A. disbanded in 1969 and so the Provisional I.R.A.(P.I.R.A., Provos, commonly "I.R.A.") were formed. They wanted the rest of Ireland back from the British, and a 32-county socialist democratic republic.

Muslims were aggressive in their military advances because they believed that victory in battle meant divine favor?

Muslims were never aggressive in their wars. They are commanded by Quran and prophet Muhammad (PBUH) teachings not to kill any civilian, not to kill or rape a woman, not to kill the old, or a child, or to cut a tree. They are ordered to fight only who fight them. They never enslaved any conquered enemies but are always tolerant and forgiving. They believe, per Islam teachings, that no compulsion in religion; so they never forced people to convert to Islam.

How can the US combat terrorism?

One strategy would be to attack nations that support terrorism with nukes. Another strategy would be to resolve the various international disputes which motivate people to commit acts of terrorism. Of course, it is still necessary, in either case, to track down terrorists and capture or kill them, and to be vigilant against future attacks. We must be on guard.

What is the basic difference between Hamas leaded by Haniya and Fatah leaded by ABBAs?

Both Hamas and Fatah share the same goal which is the final and complete destruction of israel. But while Hamas makes its stake exclusively on hte armked struggle, Fatah proposes to combine the armed struggle with the ideological one.

In 2009 in Bethlehem, some 2,000 Fatah members were taking part in the first Fatah conference in 20 years. The very first sentence of the opening speech honored the "shahids" who killed themselves fighting Jews.

"In the name of the shahids and in the name of Jerusalem, the capital of the Palestinian state, we declare the opening of the sixth convention of our movement, Fatah." With these words, convention chairman Ahmed Qurei (Abu Ala) - a former Palestinian Authority prime minister and speaker of the PA legislature - introduced the politically-charged gathering

Shahids literally means "martyrs," and the reference is to those who killed themselves or were killed in their attacks on civilian Israelis .

Photos of "fighters against Israel", including a young boy holding a rifle, dot the walls of the Bethlehem hotel hosting the convention. The official Fatah symbol includes a map of ALL OF ISRAEL - not just Judea and Samaria - on the backdrop of a rifle and sword - thus making Fatah indistinguishable from Hamas in their ultimate goals to replace all of Israel.

The convention was called in order to formulate the Fatah ideological platform and determine the leadership of Fatah and the Palestinian Authority for the coming years. PA chairman Mahmoud Abbas (Abu Mazen) was seeking to retain power for himself and the "old guard," in the face of a challenge from convicted terrorist Marwan Barghouti and the younger generation.

Barghouti is serving five life sentences in Israel for authorizing and organizing the murder of five Israelis in three separate attacks; he was acquitted "for lack of evidence" of murdering nine others and taking part in 33 other attacks.

Barghouti once summed up his approach to Israel and peace in the Middle East by saying, "After we attain a Palestinian state [in Judea and Samaria], there will be greater things for which to strive... THERE IS NO ROOM FOR MORE THAN ONE STATE BETWEEN THE JORDAN AND THE MEDITERRANEAN"

The convention included a clause in its platform negating the recognition of Israel as the Jewish State, and calling for "struggle using all means."

The conference made it clear that all Leftist /Liberals tales about how Arabs want peace, how they dream about the peaceful co-existance with Israel, and how they want only a part of Palestine are a lie. Arabs want all Palestine, they are not going to agree to a part, and there is no place for Israel there.

So, the difference between Abbas and Hamas is mainly in spelling.

Are Hamas involved with Gaza?

Why was Michael Fortier arrested?

What is the largest terrorist group?

The question as posed is difficult to answer, because "largest" can mean a lot of different things as can "terrorist".

If the word "largest" is meant to mean most ubiquitous, then the answer is certainly Al Qaeda, especially since the American Invasion of Iraq. Al Qaeda operates like a McDonald's, franchising cells across any country in which it exists. In addition, smaller jihadist organizations will reach out to Al Qaeda for funding and the name recognition. In return, Al Qaeda will claim that this smaller independent jihadist organization is part of its ranks, even though their objectives may be different than those of the Al Qaeda leadership.

If the word "largest" is meant to mean the largest internal membership, then the answer is a lot murkier. Accurate accounts of organizational membership almost never exist because the cell structure is loose. In addition, most individuals so affiliated only know the names of those fellow group members that they are very close to so as to limit the efficacy of post-capture interrogation. This makes it different to properly estimate a single cell, let alone figure out how extensive the cell network is.

How did the Northern Alliance differ from the Taliban?

The Northern Alliance consisted primarily of Uzbek and Tajik tribesman from Northern Afghanistan (areas bordering Uzbekistan and Tajikistan). The Taliban, in contrast, are primarily Pashtun tribesman from central and southern Afghanistan. It is important to remember that in this region of the world TRIBAL identity is far more important than National identity. This difference from Western ideas of National identity puts a different perspective on conflicts in this region (as well as similar conflicts in Africa and Asia). When examined from a tribal perspective the conflict in Afghanistan becomes less about the Taliban vs. the nation of Afghanistan, and more about a Pashtun civil war.

Who killed Terry Yeakey?

Answer

His death was officially called a suicide. He was one of the first responders to the Murrah Building Bombing in Oklahoma City. Reports from his wife were that he was upset with the official story. Reports of two other bombs in the building that did not go off could have been related to his death. No official investigation of his death has been made. His wrists and arms were slashed multiple times, slashed his throat twice, then crawled a mile and then shot himself in the top of his head. Suicide seems more than just a bit unlikely. No official investigation has been made.

Are all terrorists cowards?

No group can be covered in a blanket statement like "Are all "of this group" (description)". In the case of "terrorists" it is necessary to realize that the table is applied by the side being attacked to those doing the attacking. The difference in "evil" associated with people on either side - say a bomber from ISIS attacking a marketplace or a drone dropping US bombs on a wedding - is hard to describe. The majority of terrorists re generally putting their life on the line willingly, not a cowardly trait. Their motivation may be up for debate.
