Thank you for your response. You see what I mean by iocrganne? I should have attended some of your lectures sometime in my past! I have pretty well ignored many of these issues because I was so inwardly certain of my personal beliefs, having thought about them for so long, but religious issues have been very significant over such a long time and it would have been good to have paid more attention. Although I did realise that there were other factors in most of the conflicts, I always assumed that doctrinal issues also played a significant part, particularly in rousing the people. In the teaching of modern European History there was quite a significant emphasis on the opinions and actions of protestant breakaways etc. I should have worked out that this may not have been as significant as portayed as the crab apple fights between the Catholic and the Protestant children when I was a child were entirely to do with the fact that they went to different schools!!A still tongue or soft excuse can sometimes work it got me out of either a First Communion or Confirmation! I was given that choice and wriggled out of either option without divulging my lack of belief and causing any distress at home, but I do agree with you on the general dangers of not speaking out.That is a very interesting point you make about the Aboriginal people. It certainly fits from a psychological perspective and would follow from the most unfortunate way they continue to be treated. A topic as you say for another time as it is equally big.Meanwhile I will go and be thoroughly beaten again at an on-line game of scrabble by my son's mother-in-law, who is a wonderful, gentle devout Ismaili Muslim woman, originally from East Africa with whom I have not ever had, or I am sure never will have, a cross word let alone conflict (unless she beats me by just too many points this time!)
