Royston....thank you for responding civilly but,much of what you write is factually incorrect or exaggerated.
I don't have time to answer your all your points in detail, but have another look at the situation in Northern Ireland and you will see it is still very much a 21st century problem, its society as divided as ever, the "peace wall" still stands and sectarian murders on the increase again.

I tried to explain, the followers of any given party do not necessarily follow blindly the opinions of its leader.....we are all an amalgamation of many opinions some good some bad.
These opinions only become a danger to society when they are concealed under the label of something else.....as in... free speech/thought must be supressed in the name of Liberalism.
