This appears to be a reasonable attempt to explore a controversial topic. As an Irish-American, I kept looking for a reference to the 800 year long conflict between Protestant and Catholic in Northern Ireland. Couldn't find it. So it appeared to me to be another article not grounded in reality. Brought to mind the Biblical saying about being concerned with the mote in one's neighbor's eye, without paying attention to the beam in one's own eye. There is an excellent Oscar Wilde quote to the effect that the world would be very different if Christians actually practised Christianity. Regardless of what is said in the article, world reknown bigot Ian Paisley still holds enormous political power in Ireland and England. To borrow a phrase from Voltaire: "This is the best of all possible worlds?" Let's straighten out our own house before telling other religious-states what they should or should not be doing.
