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 of the issue are not Christian in any sense of the word.

With love in Christ.

Probably, people will fight over almost anything. It already happened, that's what the 30 year war and 100 year war were based on. Ireland to this day still has sectarian violence.

Ireland and England fighting has less to do with religious differences and more to do with England invading and trying to rule Ireland for some 800 years. Remember, both were Catholic for the first 363 years of this.

Well, beg your pardon....Ireland's issues aren't merely sectarian. They are of the extremist types. Its about a radical group of extremists who happen to be Protestant fighting another group of extremists who happen to be Catholic. Most Protestants there are not anti-Catholic and most Catholics there are not anti-Protestant.

Not on a large scale. Not all Christians are radical. Beleive it or not there are some who really do believe and obey the bible.

God willing, no. I pray for true unity and peace among all Christians, and all men in the world.
