What a strange world we love in .... FANS CELEBRATION MISTAKEN FOR TERRORISM Northern Ireland police say they were called on Sunday (NZT Monday) to golfer Rory McIlroys hometown of Holywood near Belfast after locals reported seeing a house flying the flag of an Islamic terrorist group. The homeowner explained it was actually the emblem of the 28-nation EU, and he was flying the blue flag with gold stars to celebrate Europes Ryder Cup victory over the United States. The man declined to be identified because of fears that Belfasts home-grown extremists might attack his house. You couldnt make it up, said Belfast councilman Andrew Muir. The flying of rival Irish, British and paramilitary flags frequently raises tensions in Belfast.
