In the end, Paisley and McGuinness did the right thing and made peace with one another and set the stage for a peaceful, stable Northern Ireland based on mutual respect and letting go of the painful past.

I detested the man with a passion during the war but in the end he turned to peace and peaceful ways, Him and Martin were the worst of enemies who became good friends hence the name Chuckle Brothers, They never stopped slagging each other and joking till the end. If those two can find peace then we all can.. RIP Ian thanks for being a man and for making peace with your biggest enemy..

And yet that public persona led to the deaths of thousands. He may have turned to peace at the end, but he was responsible for starting the war in the first place. I truly hope at the end, he was sorry for what he put both communities through with his need for power and respect. If not, then the place he spoke of in the pulpit about punishment shall be his then

A lot of people would blame him as partly responsible for the decades of violence as he stoked up anti catholic hatred and paranoia amongst protestants in Northern Ireland that led to catholics being attacked by protestant mobs and driven out of their homes which in turn led to the birth of the provisional IRA and the continued violence brought down the protestant run government of Northern Ireland. In many ways he was most responsible for destroying the protestant rule there and he completely undermined it by opposing any efforts to give Catholics better conditions. So in an odd way he did he own community the most harm as he lost them power,

***** Probably IRA "supporters" would be a more apt phrase in this case, than "fans," which is normally associated with sports and music stars etc. I guess you dare asking what is the significance of this man for IRA supporters? The significance is that he helped to create a lot of them. You may or may not ne aware but there was actually a Civil Rights movement in Northern Ireland during Paisley's early career; it was created to represent the Irish Nationalist predominantly catholic community (the original indigenous population I might add) who had been subjugated and repressed by the Unionist protestants to the extent that they were unable to have access to council housing, proper schooling, and many avenues of employment had been closed to them. They even had fewer voting rights, and the electoral boundaries had been moved and rigged by the Unionists in such a way as to ensure that Nationalist candidates would have no chance of gaining a majority in the NI Assembly. I recall an interview in which Paisley, by then a prominent figure if not leader of the Unionists, was pressed on this and he refused to acknowledge the grievances of the Nationalis catholic community; he also maintained that they should have less voting rights. Set against this background, the Civil Rights movement hit the buffers and went up in smoke; when the smoke cleared there was standing a man in black carrying an Armalite rifle, and the rest was history...

Ian Paisley was a vile human being. His pronouncements caused deaths, countless deaths. His religion, his sense of isolationist nationhood, his view of Biblical inerrancy was a validation to the utter, abyssmal ignorance of those who followed him, to those who hung on his words and acted upon his words. It matters not that Bertie Ahern shared a graveside moment of prayer with him. Because Paisley’s prayers were prayers of hate. Just like Adams’ prayers were prayers of hate wrapped in polemic. Wrapped in idealised romantic nationalism. It all meant that their thoughts led to innocents being wrapped in the cerements of the grave.
