I remember back in 2005 when while on an ecumenical mission trip down to the Mississippi coast how the Lutherans killed at least 3 Baptist and tossed their bodies into the gulf.
Don't get me started about how bad some of my fellow Methodist beat down a few Catholics at an inner church basketball tournament, I know at least one of the “Pope lovers” is still walking with a limp.
Add to that the tens of thousands of dead and wounded in America alone that happens every Christmas when arguments of which Carols should be sung or whether the Wise men came that day or a few weeks later and other issues raise their ugly heads. Not to mention the so called “Ecumenical Christmas Morning Worship Service” that some churches have that is really a cover to kill off those from other sect and get rid of those lousy heretic.
You are right, there is way to much violence between these sects, I don't even see how they can exist in the same country much less the same room holding hands in prayer to the same loving father and his only begotten son.

After 3,600 killings and assassinations over 30 years, some progress has been made in the form of a ceasefire and an independent status for the country.
