This to be exact. Total bullshit and POV pushing in the most part. "The IRA killed 91 civilians in similar attacks in 1974-76, in reprisal for loyalist attacks on Catholics" - no. Source says "Deliberate killings of Protestant civilians. 91 of these killings occurred during the three years 1974-1976. The IRA used a nom de guerre - Republican Action Force (RepAF) - to claim responsibility for some of these killings during this period". Therefore to remove Protestant is totally inappropriate. "Two female pedestrians passed by the pub when it was blown up and they were fired on with a machine gun - killing both". Source says "One of the IRA prisoners is a Brendan McFarlane, who blew up the Bayardo bar in the Shankill Road some years ago. Three women shoppers passed by the pub when it was blown up and he used a machine gun on them and killed them". So while technically it should be three, it's staying as it was. And that's not some unionist talking, that's Gerry Fitt. "The kidnap was one of spate of kidnappings and robberies in the early 1980s to raise funds" - no. The source says they were AC authorised. There are no "Poorly researched and unsubstantiated allegations", only an attempt to distort or remove sourced content, with no sources to suggest anything different.

Also Protestant Shankill Road, Catholic Falls Road, roads seem pretty religious to me.... One Night In Hackney₃₀₃ 16:56, 5 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] McFarlane's background

If you have sources then please fix it. If you don't have sources your post is pointless. One Night In Hackney₃₀₃ 14:04, 8 April 2008 (UTC)
