The conflict may have been started over sovernty issues but the lines were strictly Catholic/Protistant. The catholic minority was discriminated against in employment and housing operrtunities (on account of being Catholic) and when the NICRA started Civil resistance to those problems (and poll taxes too) Prodestant NI saw it was a front for the Irish Republicans. The whole situation soon degraded in to awful religious violence where houses of worship and children were both fair game just for being the wrong faith. There were no Protestants in the IRA, and I doubt very much many Catholics could have gotten a job with the constabulary, de facto religious war.

Oh yeah you couldn't even rebut my post without trying to slur Prodestants.

Yeah, that's me, just like ISIS. Listen pal, everyone has muslim friends, everybody here knows the differences between Shia and Sunni...you're not talking to a bunch of toddlers. You come here like a braying douchebag, insult anyone who differs with you, then get all wounded and butthurt at "profanity". Great. Here's another dose: Fuck off and take your hurt feelings with you.
