A DUP MP says he agrees with a mural equating Sinn Fein with the so called Islamic State.
Sammy Wilson was speaking during an interview with the Public Broadcasting Service - a US media outlet.
The video piece features images of a mural in a loyalist area which appears to compare the ISIS Paris attacks with IRA shootings and bombings.
It says "IRA - Sinn Féin - ISIS, no difference."
The East Antrim representative was asked if he agreed with that phrase and he replied: "I do. Yes, of course, I do."
He added "there has always been an affiliation between the Irish republicans and terrorist groups, especially in the Middle East".
