From what I’ve seen religion isn't so much the issue in Northern Ireland as just Irish vs. English, nothing more to it. All have done pretty badly under virtual martial law, and they are all very pissed off. The IRA has intricate early warning and slow=down systems with which to hide people and equipment in the suburbs that require the complete cooperation of one hell of allot of people. The reason those people do that is because they are very, very pissed off at the British. Same deal in Palestine for example. My point was that for extremism to be successful you need someing for poeple to be very angry about, tw has covered alot of this stuff.
Is United Arab Emirates considered third world?(genuine question, i wouldn't have thought so)

What would you say that is?
I'd say class war.

My typing should improve now that I have a spellchecker on here again. Apologies.

Cultures is a big issue too, its been said many a time that alot of Islamic countries are annoying becuase their own culture is being lost, a byproduct of globalisation.
