Much of the violence in NI is purely religious hatred. No, it's not Moslem against Christian. It's Catholic vs Protestant. They believe in the same god and the same major revision of a particular religion, but they still must kill each other over minor differences in beliefs. NI doesn't just have Republican [0] terrorists, but it also has Loyalist (pro-British rule) terrorists too (the whole group euphemistically known as paramilitaries). Both sides have used unjustified violence.
