Not really.
The issue in Northern Ireland is political not religious. The media, who is always looking for short cuts and not the whole story, calls the participants Catholics and Protestants.
The conflict is about whether the British territory (probably the wrong word) of Northern Ireland should remain British or should become part of Ireland.
The majority of people in Ireland are Catholics. The majority of people in England and Northern Ireland are Protestants. There are actually Catholics and Protestants on either side.
The terrorists on either side if the issue are not Christian in any sense of the word.
With love in Christ.

Just because the line is drawn between the two religions? What lead you to believe that it was all based on religion?
