The tragic shooting in France does not make all Moslems evil no more than a UVF shooting or the antics of the Orange Order makes all Protestants evil.<\/p>\n

Ulster and North Leinster has a dialect word: “Nyeuck”. Like quack its not a real work but an imitation of the sound it describes. In this instance it is a suppressed snigger of a good for nothing that makes laughs at others expense. Its the only way they can make themselves seem funny.<\/p>\n
