Alison M BS: Loyalist and Republican Websites (21) BS: Loyalist and Republican Websites 01 Nov 06


I just wanted to ask others their opinions about Loyalist Websites. I have read some Republican Websites, which explains about their history of their struggle for independence, etc. and it is mainly about their side of the fence. When I read Loyalist Websites they too explain their version of Ulster history and about themselves, but they add all this hatred towards Catholics, Nationalists, Republicans, Sinn Fein, all IRA's to their Website too. Then they wonder why republican supporters leave unfriendly messages in their guestbooks. The point I am trying to make here is why are they the Loyalists so anti the other side of the fence to them? Both sides have many victims due to the troubles in the North of Ireland and throwing hatred towards the other side all the time does not help any victims at all, it just holds on to the past hatred. Ireland needs to move forward towards peace for the sake of the children that will be living there in years to come. Loyalists claim they want peace, but they don't show it through their Websites. I have not found a Republican Website out there that is anti Loyalist, anti Unionist, or anti Protestant. I am not trying to cause an argument here, but it is a question I ask my self many times about Ireland.
