Ian Paisley does not have the right to point fingers at anyone

LAST week, the IRA took a historic step and abandoned the gun for a peaceful, political approach to achieving its goal of a united Ireland.

I welcome its dedication to peace by breaking with a paramilitary history spanning back to the 1860s. However, this is not enough for dear Ian.

While there is no justification for violence and murder of innocent people, it is time we took a look at Paisley’s portfolio. The press have always welcomed any rantings from Paisley which attack Sinn Féin because of its apparent links to paramilitarism. I wonder whether he has the right to point fingers. He refuses to trust the word of the two witnesses in this case, attacking their credibility, so let’s look at Paisley’s credibility.
