I did not intend to minimize the violence and terrorism perpetuated by the IRA or other Republican forces; I only wanted to point out that the Loyalists and British troops racked up quite the body count as well, but while the IRA is a well-known terrorist organization, virtually no one in America has even heard of the Orangemen or any of the Loyalist terror groups, despite the fact that they killed hundreds of people as well.
Edit: I have edited my original post to more fairly reflect the data you've posted.
