Anyone who claims it isn't to do with sectarian issues is in denial.

Of course it's religion! Protestants versus catholics!

It's so easy to say otherwise and adopt the attitude that there is no religious strife in the UK. There is - simple as that. Celtic and Rangers - Catholic v Protestant. Always been the same.

Not sure if it is just down to religion ........, having lived in Belfast and Bangor at one point there was many a day you heard on the radio, that someone had been kneecapped or beaten up, sometimes it just seems to have been drug related, or beaten for something that someone had done, nothing to do with religion or politics :O(

What was that saying ' power corrupts but absolute power, corrupts absolutely ' :O(

I don't think it has anything to do with 'Religion'. Tis or was to do with North and South. English ruled and Irish. But these days who knows? Maybe a simplistic view, but certainly nothing to do with any God. Imo :-)

Don't know what to say TBH.

There have been agreements/disarmaments/pardons/machinations by rival political parties and for what?

This hatred held by some won't ever diminish and I guess this won't be the last sectarian attack we'll see, condemn and then forget because it doesn't touch us personally.

So heartwarming to know that followers of two religions, who worship the same loving and forgiving god, feel the need to kill each other.
