why is ireland fighting each other?

Question

i dont understand the riots and violence why are they fighting who caused the problem?

Answer 1

It did start as a racial problem between the Catholics and Protestants.



Today, I'd call the fights or riots political statements and not so much to do with religion.

Answer 2

Because they are christians, but two different sorts of christians. Who says only moslems have problems with violence?



Actually there is more to it. Ireland was a catholic country until protestant England took over part of it. A lot of the conflict is political, but divided along religious lines.

Answer 3

That is a really good question. Truth is that the Protestants, and Catholics have been shooting eachother, and blowing eachother up for many years. It is a shame that both sides claim to believe in, and follow Jesus Christ, yet both sides continue to commit murder. The whole idea behind being a Christian is to try to be more like Christ. Well the Lord clearly commands us to love one another. He also tells us that murder is a sin, and unlawful in his eyes, yet they continue to kill eachother. I wish that I had a better answer for you. Both sides in Ireland commit terrorist acts.

Answer 4

National, ethnic, racial, which can not be avoided and must face the contradiction. Just hope that the negotiations to resolve these contradictions, understanding, peace rather than war and killing.

Answer 5

there are two different religons at war in northern ireland cathotlics and protestants

Answer 7
