George Bernard Shaw was a Protestant. Though I am quite amazed that

someone

might declare that great writers are no fellow-countrymen of his because they are "the wrong religion". or "have the wrong ancestry".

That, in a nutshell, is Irish history for the last 300 years.

The "wrong religon" or "wrong ancestry" and "we were here first" attitude was the rationale used by the Serbs when they engaged in ethnic cleansing of Muslims in Bosnia and of ethnic Albanians in Kosovo. It is the rationale used by the Basque ETA as they murder people who are not Basques, or even Basques who happen to disagree with them. That is a tribalistic, regressive, utterly unacceptabe attitude.
