They (Sinn Fein) always had the ballot box, and never needed to resort
to violence.

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.

[0] Not to be confused with the US Republican party
