arfer No. The issue of Civil Rights wasn't a massive issue for Protestants. But Ian Paisley was proved right in that the Civil Rights Movement had Republican undertones which he and others were against. It could be argued that if the Civil Rights Movement had of kept Republicanism out of it then the troubles would not have begin. Badly handled by the Nationalist/Republican side. They should have taken a leaf out of Black America's Civil Rights. Peaceful and Non-Political.

***** Not entirely true. Purdie (1988) wrote an article on the subject and delved much further into the issue in his 1990 book 'Politics in the streets'. In Layman's terms, the article/book states that the NICRA was essentially created by a proposal from Republicans and was meant to be a stepping stone into Northern Irish politics. However evidence shows that the movement did not conform to the Republican's original subversive intentions and that they were not in control. You could argue that because of this their assumptions would have eventually came to fruition but at that moment in time the Unionists handled it very badly because they opposed the entire movement, despite their demands being reasonable. You say about the non-violence aspect of it; Republicans and Nationalists within the movement were all in agreement that it was to be kept non-violent. As far as I'm aware, the 'Paisleyites' were the first to show violence.

It is so ironic that my parents, Southern Irish Catholic emigrants to England,were allowed to vote in England in every single election that took place in the 40 years they lived in England from 1953-93, yet had they only moved to the North,they would have been denied the vote! It was an absolute travesty of justice that people in the North were denied the vote in their own land simply because they were Catholic- if the Civil Rights Movement had been a front for United Ireland movements, and it wasn't because John Hume was very moderate, who could blame them?In the Republic,both Catholics and Protestants had full civil rights in the Republic and still have. The native Irish in the North suffered discrimination in their own land!

They were not denied a vote "because they were catholic". There was no law anywhere stating catholics or nationalists couldn't vote.

No, not true. Everyone in Northern Ireland had the same voting rights. The issue was a property qualification for local elections (not Westminster or Stormont) and systematic gerrymandering in places like the Londonderry County Borough. Only a rate payer and his (normally) wife could vote. If you’d five grown-up kids living with you, none of them could vote. Applied to Prods as well as Catholics. No one was denied the vote because of their religion.

The reason why Derry~Londonderry was kept in Northern Ireland was due to its symbolism of the Walls to Unionism in the Protestant community. It was considered an area too Catholic just like other parts of Ulster (Donegal, Mongahon, Cavan) that where deliberately excluded to give Protestants an easy majority. The injustices of gerrymandering was a virtual certainty since the creation of Northern Ireland and Protestants knew this at that time. NICRA was a civil rights movement, just because Paisley felt its aims may bring about a united Ireland by empowerment of a certain community doesn't change the fact that he was compliant with discrimination against Catholics occurring because it suited his aims.

Paisley was more responsible than anyone else for causing the troubles in the North. He was very well aware of this as he got older and that is why he softened his anti catholic bigotry and prehistoric as he got older. That is why he made such an effort to get the assembly working. He knew time had passed him by and most people from all communities wanted change and wanted peace and his days as a hate preacher were over. Yes...a hate preacher. If you watch some of this speeches from the late 60s and the 70s its shocking in the extreme now in modern times what he was saying and shouting. The fact him and McGuinness became close friends tell you everything. Both of them had blood on their hands from the earlier years but both done everything in their power to bring their tribes to peace. That said....if you watch that video he'll say it wasn't fair but admit to no wrong doing on his own part. He said the Civil Rights was United Ireland front. Absolute bullshit and he knows its bullshit. It actually started with protestant students in Queens University in Belfast and the head of it was an absolute gentleman we don't hear enough about was a protestant Derry man called Ivan Cooper. It was his civil rights march in Derry that fateful day that British soliders unprovoked opened fire indiscrimaintely on the march on what is now known as Bloody Sunday. All they wanted as voting rights. Crazy times in a crazy but beautiful place. Bless Ireland forever.

Just like everyone says he was the ugliest face of Unionism any Catholic could hope for. Hitler like rants, bigoted speeches, blames Britain blames Ireland. A real fire stoker and not a diplomatic reasonable man at all. If he died at 90 he mellowed out at about 88 lol 😂 and ended up sharing government with Sinn Fein. Perhaps this was a good thing I’m glad there is peace and I hope both sides are living well in NI but sharing power totally goes against his right wing campaigning for the last 40 years so you can add hypocrite to that list of accolades. He was horrible to Catholics. Horrible. He even armed the UVF (I think it was UVF) at one point for political gain. They murdered a few people with his financing and arming. All the facts are stated in the Northern Ireland documentary on BBC iPlayer. It’s a wonderful unbiased documentary and it’s about 7 hours long. Tells the story from both sides. Jaw dropping stuff. It talks about South Armagh being the pride of the IRA and why East Belfast is Protestant (shipyards) and why Derry is Free Derry to Catholics and Londonderry to Protestants.

Ian Paisley was responsible for fanning the flames of sectarianism, perhaps to a greater degree than anyone in N. Irish politics. However, by entering in to some form of government with Sinn Féin he helped get us to where we are today. It's not peace but it's better than it was. For this act he was kicked out of his own church and the political party he formed, the DUP. It is understandable why people condemn Ian Paisley but is also important to acknowledge that his final acts as DUP leader helped provide a better landscape for peace in N. Ireland. He knew that power sharing had the potential to ruin his political career and yet he entered into it anyway for the good of N. Irish people, I myself and thankful for the sacrifice he made, whether or not it offset his many years of hate preaching is highly debatable but at least he did some good. Unlike many hard line Unionists/Loyalists.
@Paul-fs8hm7 жыл бұрын
Unfortunately, what you said is total revisionist nonesense and has no basis in reality. The DUP were the ONE party that was completely opposed to the Belfast Agreement and actively tried to take steps to sabotage it from within. It was the UUP that proposed this concept of peaceful co-existence, which is why they were shafted by unionists who wanted a hardline stance against SF, hence why the DUP became the largest party in NI. Ian Paisley did not provide peace, his church and hate speech towards Catholics was the impetus that helped create the troubles to begin with which caused untold trauma, grief and bloodshed on to the streets of the Northern Ireland state. To say he fought for peace for the "good of N. Irish people" and made some kind of "sacrifice" is truly sickening and very wrong. In the end, he was hated by many within his own community for his militancy and that really says something, especially towards apologists like you.

The main problem in Northern Ireland was it was locally run. If Northern Ireland has been part of UK Parliament no British government would or could have discriminated against Irish Catholics in the same way the local Northern Irish Protestant governments did. If Northern Irish people were voting for Labour and the Conservatives instead of their local sectarian/ethnic party then a lot of Northern Ireland's problems could have been stopped. Irish Catholics were treated unfairly and contrary to British law before the Northern Ireland conflict, they had every right to demand justice and I say that as someone who supports the Union and Northern Ireland. The problem is Irish Catholics would have to treat Protestants just as bad if they had been in power, far too much centuries-long bad blood between the communities. That is why the UK government was and still is the best option for running Northern Ireland. Both communities need to accept the other community. I have heard and seen disgraceful statements from Irish Republicans about deportation and revenge on the Protestant community if they ever leave Britain (bordering on ethnic cleansing). The British government should have fought the Northern Irish Paramilitary groups with the same determination and vigour as the IRA. It was a mistake that they didn't take the fight more heavily to pro-British paramilitary groups, who like the IRA brought misery and death to Northern Ireland. The British army was in a catch 22 situation, even the most well trained and restrained armed force on earth would have found Northern Ireland impossibly hard to deal with. British soldiers were put in volatile situations, where a wrong decision would result in their death of them or their comrades, unarmed civilians or Armed republicans. They made the wrong decision on days like Bloody Sunday, but they made the right decision on hundreds of other days. The same people who talk about the conduct of the British army (which was sometimes very wrong, but more often down to human mistakes by young men in intense situations) I suspect will not hold the Irish government to the same standards when it is forced to put troops on the streets of Belfast when the unification happens. The Irish government may have it's bloody Sunday when crowds of Unionists protest Irish rule, I hope to god I am wrong, but I can only see more violence come out of unification. The only difference it will be Irish troops in place of the British. Oh, and I cannot stand Ian Paisley, a horrible man who brought much division to Northern Ireland and a man who is rightfully disliked by the Catholic community.

What a hypocrite! One man, one vote! As a young catholic who lived in Northern Ireland during this time, there where NO catholic rights! My mother was a catholic, my father a prodestant, I don't know how they, our older siblings, or friends survived these turbulent times. It took me to leave Northern Ireland to study and understand the chaos that was clearly going on around me, and truly understand the plight of those fighting for their civil rights. This man almost caused a CIVIL war. Paisley's wrath and hatred of Catholics was all fear based, as he readily admits that the Civil Rights Movement was a supposed cover up, for what he thought would enable catholics to unite both sides of the border, eventually exposing the tides of prodestant privilege. I almost threw up listening to his comments in this video, especially, "Well that's just the way it was", as I have listened to the same rhetoric when July twelth comes around and prodestants try to justify their bone fire burnings (with Kill all Taig signs on top), banging drums, as well as marching through catholic neigbourhoods, and then have the audacity to respond with " Well, this is our culture." May Paisley burn in hell, if there is such a place.

What's wrong with a bonfire? I have fear when I see republican marches so it's the same coin. Even the likes of frampton admits liking the twelfth, but I heard a story about him shuddering during a interview when someone shouted one of the acronyms of one of the defence groups. So it's not inherently evil yk

@@TY-gh2yf Catholic marches don't happen every year, they aren't directly associated with their religion's paramilitaries, they don't hate anyone who even feels slightly British, they don't march through Protestant areas for the sole reasons of intimidation and harassment. Same can't be said for the Orange Order, they hate everything even slightly Irish, they purposely go out of their way and insist on marching through Catholic areas on the 12th just to intimidate and upset the residents, they have had and may well still have strong ties to the UVF and UDA. Double standards for the Unionists, they can riot for days to march through Catholic areas banging drums and hurling sectarian abuse at the residents and feel it's their cultural right, but when 6 year old Catholic girls walk to school through a unionist estate, they get bricks and piss balloons thrown at them. Makes you wonder who really is to the blame for the sectarian divide.

Paisley's comments here are commendable in the acknowledgement of the iniquity of the system but these were not his opinions at the time and those helped fan the flames of fear, hate and suspicion leading to more bloodshed. Adams and Mcguinness may have more direct blood on their hands but Paisley, Craig and others ensured a genisis to the whole disaster

To have been aware of this level of hypocrisy from the age of 8 years means for me indignation is an everlasting understatement.

A word from a Filipino Protestant, What words have I found to some of you, being thankful that the elderly man is dead and some seek him to be dead and to say to a man that he be dead is no better than saying a curse, for saying death to someone is a kind of curse itself, If Catholics as they claim to have known Scripture better than Protestants then why have they cursed as if they're the judges, Aye! It be better if God will judge him at the Day of Judgment for no one can deny the works that one has committed during their living days on Earth and indeed recorded within a book. Aye, there's another that said the "F" word which is unlawful to be spoken if he's truly a Christian. Thank You and God Bless You.

One person one vote is a bad idea in the long term, but Catholics/Nationlists owned little or no land, they didn't have equal opportunity for jobs. A points system for voting seems like the most sensible form of democracy. I think Paisley wasn't as bad a person as we have been lead to believe. Catholics told me if they were bothered by Unionists in any way Paisley was the man to seek to resolve the issue.

Yes, the blood of Jesus and Jesus' once and for all sacrifice was appropriated by him in faith for his sins. He had 'blessed assurance' Jesus was his Saviourvand Lord because he believed the Bible alone. He also exposed the enemy of Gods people THE ANTICHRIST AND MAN OF SIN WHO IS THE POPE OF ROME!! He opposed and exposed the deceitful abomination of the Roman Catholic Mass and its heretical teachings of transubstantiation. He was the only preacher I knew who was doing this which is what all the other paid fat cat Protestant preachers should have been doing too! He held up firmly and strongly the twin pillars of the Reformation which were "saved by faith alone" and "the pope is the antichrist!" Praise the Lord and HALLELUJAH forth that! He has inspired many thousands of Protestants to keep the fire of true biblical faith and teaching ALIVE!! And passed on the baton to us all who believe in the great truths of the mighty world changing REFORMATION! LONG LIVE THE REFORMATION AND PROTESTANISM!! HALLELUJAH!! GLORY TO GOD AND PRAISE JESUS CHRIST THE HEAD OF THE TRUE CHURCH AND KINGDOM ON EARTH, NEVER TO BE DEFEATED BUT TO STAND FOREVER!!!

A man born into modern times but with a 16th century puritan mentality (Parallels with Islam) anyway, I am convinced that if we did not have Paisley the troubles probably would not have happened, he even divided his own community. Also it has to be discussed the civil rights movement itself, initially it was genuine people of all persuasion but it was eventually hijacked by Marxists and the old official IRA. I know people of that organisation that went marching on it, no state could thus take it seriously thereafter. Groups dedicated to the overthrow of state and the West itself?
