The Disadvantages Faced by Catholics in Northern Ireland in the Mid-1960’s Since the partition of 1921 the Catholics and Protestants in Northern Ireland had been unable to live on equal terms together. The North became Northern Ireland and the south the Republic of Ireland. It was not really an event, for decades Britain had resisted Home rule but by 1919 the attitudes were altering. A majority of Northern Ireland were Protestants, the Catholics only made up 33% of the population, and the 66% left were Protestants.

The conflict in Northern Ireland has persisted because of religious affiliations, their identities and the struggle for overall power. The morals and identities of the people and organizations of Northern Ireland
Out of all the conflicts that have occurred in Western Europe since the Second World War, Northern Ireland has been one of the most bitter, long lasting and intractable. This conflict is based in the struggle of one side of the community for a unified independent Ireland and the opposition of the other part of the community to this aim and their desire for Northern Ireland to remain a part of the United Kingdom. Due to the hostility between these two sides issues of discrimination in areas such as housing, employment, electoral manipulations and religious histories have been rife. Northern Ireland is torn over the balance of power relations between communities and questions of governance.
Another source of conflict as reported by Sørli et. al stems from the religious differences. As a whole, the Middle East is comprised of followers of Islam. But within the Islamic religion are the Sunni (which account for the majority), and the Shia. Tension lies between the two sects, especially given the fact that the Shia often hold the positions of power (Sørli, 147). Another major
A good point to start with is Iraq during the Ottoman Empire. In that tenure, there were five grounds in which have raised the sectarian animosity among the Iraqis. 1. The Ottoman to favor the Sunnis' at the expense of the Shia, due to the religious proximity of Shia in Iraq to the Safavid Empire, and due to the fact that the Ottoman envisaged the Safavid as a political rival; thus, this erupted the Ottoman to marginalized the Shia and considered them as an existential threat to the empire. 2. Tribe and Klan, which were profound incentives for the Ottoman, were an excellent way for the Ottoman to grant loyalty out of the tribes. The Ottoman permit the tribes to act individually "semi-autonomous" to collate taxes and ensure populace loyalty
By definition, Islam is a religion of those who obey the doctrines of the Prophet Muhammad. Muhammad, who in the 7th century lived in Arabia, initiated a religious movement that throughout the Middle East was supported by the Arabs. Today, not only in Middle East origins, Islam has adherents, where it is the dominant religion in all countries (Non-Arab, and Arab), but also in other parts of Africa, Asia and, of course, as well as in the United States. Those who are loyal to Islam are called Muslims. The Sunni, Shiite conflict in Iraq started long before the ruling of Saddam Hussein, but when Hussein became Prime Minister of the country the conflict between the two religious sects was taken to a new level. Right when Hussein gained full power, under his control, began years of persecution of the Shiite Muslims in the country. But, before this happened, the conflict was based upon Muhammad and who was to rule after he had died. When Muhammad had died there were many disputes on who should succeed the Prophet Muhammad after his death in 632. Shiites believed that the prophet’s son-in-law, Ali, was to be the successor. Both consider the Koran the word of God. But, devoutness and religious practice distinguish between the two sects. However, Islam teaches that all Islam is equal so Sunni and Shiite sects fight with each other not only because of “hatred” but, also because of religious
Lastly, in my opinion, Catholics/nationalists should have their freedom to be united to Ireland and Protestants/unionists in Northern Ireland remain part of Britain. I think the leaders of the both parties should find peace-way to protect their people. The ways that allow their people-the civilians to freely live as people with dignity have the right to vote, the right to own land, houses, practice their faiths and their beliefs without bear arm. They cannot let the connotation “whoever was strong won and gained more power while others were oppressed and persecuted.” They should end the conflict in Northern Ireland, which was between Catholics/Nationalists and Protestant/Unionists because they all believe God. Therefore, why fight? For,

Ultimately, since the end of the Second World War, Bloody Sunday was unparalleled in Europe. The scale of the events on that faithful day both shaped and informed the evolution of the conflict in Ireland over the following three decades. Expectedly, the obvious over reactions of both the Provisional and Original IRA, among others, triggered an equally savage Loyalist reaction, which further solidified the atrocities which characterised the ‘Long War’. Much debate and vitriol still surrounds the competing accounts of what happen on that pivotal day. However, notwithstanding the realities and the facile excuses put forward by the British in the aftermath of Bloody Sunday, few in the Catholic community in the North could see how the actions of
The French would rather have well-structured management with rules and regulations in place rather than take risks that may not have a positive outcome. Whereas, Americans are the complete opposite, meaning that they are more willing to take risks and are less traditional when it comes to rules and regulations.
According to Asbhy (1999), revitalizaton defined as the change that implements in Quantum Leap, that is a big leap that is not only including gradation or incremental, but straight to the target which much different from the initial condition. In this case, revitalization on the traditional market means to reactivate the traditional market which once was vital, but experience degredation. It can be a slum traditional market with low infrastructure to modern market, or displacement to a better location. The reactivation should be in a big scale such as renovationg thoroughly to improve every aspect from the market itself.
Many participants view sectarianism as the underlying barrier to improving lives, strengthening the economy, resolving the security situation, and fighting ISIS. Sectarian tensions affect atti-tudes toward Iraqi leaders and democracy in general. For example, many Sunni and Kurd par-ticipants worry that Abadi will only represent Shia interests and think that someone coming from Maliki’s party, Da’wa, will focus more attention on those within his sect and ignore the needs of others. An Erbil Kurdish woman says, “Al-Abadi is from the same political party as al-Maliki and they have the same ideas and politics. They are doing the
