Sectarianism is alive and well. I had the misfortune to be out and about in Glasgow after an Old Firm (Glasgow Celtic vs Glasgow Rangers) game a couple of years ago - very frightening indeed. I was glad I wasn't wearing anthing green and white or blue and white.

If you think that the conflict in Ulster is religious conflict, then you are either dumb or uneducated; eg., google for 'Nairac' and note his religious and political affiliations. That thing about a 'religious' conflict is just some stupid shit that the politically correct media likes to spread, rather than telling the truth and saying that it is an ethnic conflict. The Irish are 'Catholics' and the English are 'Protestants'. Usually. But not always. But you do not find many of the English RCs in the IRA.

So no, the man was not killed because he was Catholic, but for being Irish. In Ireland. By the English.

So yeah, let's spinn some dumb shit about religion so that we can feel a little better. After all, it's 2009 and ethnic conflicts within the EU does not sit well with the establishment as it kind of goes against everything that they believe in.

Think that IRA ever fired a shot for greater glory of God? Think again.

Nothing surprises me with the fans of the Bigot Brothers. The sad thing is it is only the minority of the these clubs fan base that destroy it for the majority of the fans.

The secratarianism is an unfortunate part which in the UK and Ireland should be doing a much greater effort to wipe out and it is the scummy few who have no idea what the conflict was about in the first place.

This mostly happens at all Old Firm matches and if they don't have
rivals to fight then they fight with each other.But in this occaision
an innocent party gets it - just wrong place at the wrong time.

I just hope that those fuckers get everything they deserve

Interesting way of thinking, though I not entirely agree. I don't know about the Ulster conflict, so I don't wanna fight you on that, but you're remark about the European situation is as far as The Netherlands goes totally wrong. Several politicians and media in this country (including parts of the establishment) don't do anything but underlining and exploiting alleged ethnic tensions.

You're right about the conflict not being religious but its not the English who are fighting the Irish. Its Unionists/Loyalists fighting Republicans, a political conflict. The people involved in this particular conflict were all technically Northern Irish. Although you are right in terms of the IRA occasionally travelling overseas to England to target some English people during the Troubles, but those days are long gone.

For the most part, Republicans = Catholics and Unionists = Protestants, and so people like to brand it as a religious conflict when in fact it has alot more to do with politics. And i'd bet that the murderers in this instance had no political motivation at all, just the hate that they were taught to have as children.
