Regarding the IRA attacks: Show me ANYWHERE where the IRA committed their acts of violence in the name of their God or religion!! Their motivation was
based on political/social issues--NOT RELIGIOUS!! I'm sick of seeing this comparison
Ah, so UVF killing "Micks" in revenge attacks and IRA killings of "Prods" has nothing to do with religion...
Before anybody points out that it was not IN the name of God, but that denomination just happened to separate the different parties, I am aware that
the co-belligerants in NI were not religous zealots, but religion (or rather, denomination) played a large part, if only because of history.
Either way, denomination separated the the parties and was the basis of more than one attack.
Just as many thousands of Muslims marching in protest are not religous zealots burning foreign legations. But the media only cares about showing drama
and there is no drama in genuinely aggreived people peacefully protesting at the back of a march, only in the handful of extremists hijacking the
protests.
