You obviously fail to understand my point, which Betsy Og got.An innocent Catholic man is beaten to death yet you manage to find a way of blaming the Catholic church?
Isn't it funny that Catholic schools can be found the world over yet are a problem only in the North and in Scotland? Anti-Catholic bigotry is the problem, not Catholic schooling.
Things are so much more easy when you can sermonise from a distance eh?
I don't get you.From Bill Struth...I'm loosing it here...
To put Betsy's theory another way, does AAM think the Protestant mob is more sectarian than the Catholic mob? I think it is.
Both are equally vicious. One of the more horrific memories of the Troubles was when the CM bludgeoned to death two off duty British soldiers who got caught up in a republican funeral.
But I have no recollection of a CM baying for sectarian blood.
And another thing. Racist attacks against Chinese, Poles, Romanians etc. is the preserve of the Protestant mob.
Why?I'm assuming this is a joke?!

Excellent post and excellent point. I agree 100%.If the children of the North went to integrated schools, they would learn the same lesson and it would hopefully over time allay the fear and suspicion with which each side views the other.
The Bishop of Down and Connor recently spoke out against integrated schools. Perhaps he should consider the bigger picture of long lasting peace, integration and understanding instead of the power and a ready-made congregation for the Catholic Church.
Actually it does seem to be the case but I am sure it is not a reflection of the protestant population in general (since the Romanian people sheltered in a Protestant Church).I'm assuming this is a joke?!
Why is it ridiculous? Because both sides are as bad as each other?Why?! because it's ridiculous statement!
Put it this way:
Do you think this is an acceptable statement to make? and why?
Does it really matter if they are Catholic or Protestant? I don't know why religion has to even come into this They are simply scum bags that shouldn't be allowed on the streets. You would have to question the whole area of policing though. By the sounds of it, they are a bunch of local people with even the police denying there is organised involvement from Combat 18 or any other group. Surely the police should have dealt with this before it got to this stage.
i agree completely.

I agree with this totally. I think in general that Protestant culture is more liberal than RC culture. But its very tolerance seems to result in a very extreme fringe element to fester within its midst.Actually it does seem to be the case but I am sure it is not a reflection of the protestant population in general (since the Romanian people sheltered in a Protestant Church).
This has been an ongoing problem with this part of south Belfast for years now. If it isn't Romanians it's the Polish, if it isn't them it's the Asians. You can waffle about why we shouldn't say it's Protestants all you like, but pressure has to be placed on the specific community in question, and pressure has to be put on the psni to do their jobs for once.
