We drove around Belfast looking at some of the many murals. Most of these were done after "The Troubles." From an American's perspective where today there is great tolerance for religious differences, it is very strange to think of the amount of hatred between the Catholics (Irish) who were discrimated against and Protestants (English). The Catholics experienced segregation similar to that of Blacks in America - different schools, neighborhoods, career paths, etc.
