On Friday The Northern Ireland assembly was again halted by the politics of religious extremist terrorists. The man, Michael Stone carried 8 explosive devices, a gun, and a knife. Stone is the Protestant terrorist that assassinated 3 Catholic mourners at a graveside in Ireland in 1988. For all his crimes stone had been sentenced to 700 years in prison and yet was freed in 10 years (less than British hackers get in US prisons... but thats a different story) Again Britains political peace processes are disturbed by religion and its encroachment into political life as the bringer of death and bad feeling will almost certainly result in more freedoms being taken from ordinary citizens in retribution. http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/northern_ireland/6179792.stm
