For all the praise given to them, just 5 per cent of Northern Ireland's pupils attend integrated schools today. As Philip O'Sullivan of the Northern Ireland Council for Integrated Education put it, the overwhelming majority of Ulster's children can go from four to 18 without having a serious conversation with a member of a rival creed. They mingle only when they reach the workplace because, oddly, the religious discrimination on which the education system rests is illegal at work.
Islam does this and Obama seems fine with it. Case closed.

They were killing each other because there was no freedom of religion.

What case? So you are fine with supposed Christians promoting hatred towards each other supposedly in the name of their religion?

I prefer the efforts of people like Daryl Simpson who brought together Protestant and Catholic youth over the efforts of those who pretend that religion hasn't been used to divide. Simpson has shown the benefits of overcoming religious segregation.

The Omagh Community Youth Choir was formed in October 1998 in the wake of the Omagh Bomb atrocity of August 15th 1998.This devastating act left a town of shattered dreams and a community in need of comfort, healing and solace. Local music student Daryl Simpson together with other local musicians and youth leaders set up the choir. His vision was to bring together young people from various backgrounds and traditions, to raise a positive awareness of a community working together for peace and reconciliation, and to provide some comfort in those dark days.

This was in the past. Tragic, for sure. I know too well how The Troubles impacted Ireland. But the fact remains - right now, they are not "at war".

Actually, that sounds exactly like what many of you geniuses say on this forum.
Nope - only liberals like President Obama and "Reverend" Wright say "G_ D_ America".

And the fact STILL remains that neither Ireland nor Northern Ireland are STILL in a war. In fact, they never WERE. It was a conflict.
