Subject field(s)
  • Religious Sects - Various
  • Sociology of Ideologies
DEF

Confrontation/conflict inspired by sectarianism, that is, between different sects of one religion.

CONT

In many cases, sectarian violence is caused not only by sectarian differences but is often also a result of a power struggle or has social, economic, or nationalistic aspects - as is, likewise, frequently true of inter-religious conflicts.

OBS

The distinction between "religious violence" and "sectarian violence" is extremely unclear, as there is no easy way to determine why a certain religion should be termed a sect and another a religion.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Cultes divers

CONT

Le meurtre du jeune postier intervient au moment où les quartiers du nord de Belfast connaissent une explosion de violence sectaire qui a déjà fait plus de 80 blessés durant deux nuits d'émeutes.
