No, I still think this viewpoint is half baked.

I have been at football matches where huge crowds have ignited altercations between one another - not because of religion (the religions are mixed), not because of a political reaction (sport) but because simply there are two groups which wear different coloured t-shirts (CULTURE/IDENTITY).
And to reinforce my argument, War has existed in human affairs long before organised religion and politics emerged.

"War is the expression of politics by other means"... Von Klauzewitz, On War
"War is the expression of culture and identity by other means" ... I am going to say that.

I was not very old when I was in Liverpool during the 1980's but I did know something quite tremendous was happening and also quite frightening.
