But the Irish matter is not a religious dispute

I am not really sure what you are trying to say.

A footnote, really. I agree that the 30 Years War was about religion, with territorial ambitions piggybacking on that. But the Irish matter was the other way round.

Also agreed that an Islamic Reformation would be a dangerous thing for everyone. Islam has a schism already, since early in its history, and it's already dangerous for everyone.

That's interesting, thanks. I will query the locals!
