Okay so I'm doing this essay for religion but all I have so far is Northern Ireland and The Taliban against america. Any other examples of politics mixed in with religion?

well, its not very heard of much... but theirs something called world war 2 where germanys goverment fought against jews... :P
[B]LOL oh yeh! Totally forgot about that one but that was a political party against a race/religion, its meant to be like Protestants Versus Catholics or Arabs Versus Jews in that sense [B]
Sunni V Shia in Iraq, Afganhistan & Iran. The Iran/Iraq War was also influenced by them factors.
all other religions v scientism?
christians are prosecuted in the middle east in communist countries religion is limited in russia around 1920 ish the church was prosecuted because of the communists. ERM There are many cases like Muslims wanting to dress in full head coverage in schools and stuff like that, that's political religious tension in the uK
er i have completely forgot most of what i have learned regarding this but didn't the fighting between israelis and palestanians start because the jews were given some land after ww2?
it's probs wrong so you might wanna check it but i'm tired and just got home from a long day at work. :(
The British Mandate of Palestine was split and given to form parts Jordan and form Israel, but yeah you are right thats a religious conflict with politics involved.Quote:
