I wasn't trying to align Christian fundamentalists with the IRA. All I wanted to point out was that Christians are quite willing to kill eachother, and non-combatants, when it suits them.

The Peace Talks helped enormously, but the main reason that paramilitary bombings stopped in Northern Ireland/ on the mainland was 9/11. American sympathy for anyone bombing civilians was suddenly too close to home to be accepted as "glory".
