Anyone remember The Troubles?

The conflict in Northern Ireland during the late 20th century?

The dead . . . 3 or 4 thousand?

The Troubles weren’t so much about protestant vs Catholic as loyalty to England versus loyalty to Ireland. It just happened to break down along religious lines because those who made themselves loyal to the English crown also took the religion of the Crown while those native to Ireland and resisting the crown held on to the Catholic religion as part of that resistance. So false analogy on your part.
