#1 The Real History of Ireland Warts and All

...I happened to purchase out of curiosity a copy of Adolf Hitlers Mein Kampf. I was rather astounded to find that the version of German history Hitler preached was uncannily like the version of Irish history I had been taught in school. Both were derived from the racial theories of the early nineteenth century, of the special Geist or genius of each race, and the Darwinian Rassenkampf or wars of the races, resulting in the survival of the fittest or strongest.

#4 Cambridge Press, 2016: The Muslim Brotherhood (al-Ikhwan al-Muslimun) in particular has had the most influence in the institutionalisation of Islam in Ireland. Its involvement in the creation of Muslim networks in Ireland is complex and varies from case to case. There might only be historical links to the Muslim Brotherhood in certain Irish Muslim institutions, whereas others have come to share similar ideological orientations over time. There are also Muslim organisations in Ireland that openly involve direct participation of members of the Muslim Brotherhood at varying levels, while others share links that are only circumstantial.

#5 So, why is there a picture of Notre Dame du Paris in an article about Israelis playing Irish in Latvia?
Inquiring minds are confused...
(My personal opinion about the story is there seems to be a whole lot of a$$holes involved, and they're fairly evenly distributed.

#6 The only person who won't agree "You meet an Irishman, you are meeting an azzhole," are other Irishmen. And then only about 10% of the time.

#14 Russia torments millions of Jews over centuries, gets millions killed through sheer lunatic incompetence, scares off most survivors under her control. Grom: "Yay Russia!"

Some Einstein calls the Irish prodigious antisemites and a few nitwits reply, "Go feck yerselves!" Grom: "Irish are Nazis!"

Smiling Irish sigh. Anyone know, offhand, the demographics of the actual boycotters?

#15 Sorry, I wasn't fair, there. Should've been "Some Irish guy says Irish are Nazis!" That said, you can nuke the awful place any time you like. Dead to me for years.

#17 Heh, touché. Half kidding, of course. Can't deny a little residual affection for the old sod. Nor that, having never heard me sainted mither's people breathe a single antisemitic syllable, i might take too personally a generalization for which they (and all but a handful of other Irish I've known) were living counterexamples.

But yeah, it does seem to be pretty much screwed lately.
