The same reason Christians and Jews didn't like each other: a difference of opinion they held deeply.

My reason: they don't hate each other. I have a Anglican friends, a Catholics friends and a Presyterian friends. And they don't fight.

People have forgotten God's commandments and kill each other and forget to love one another.

In Northern Ireland, sectarian violence is fomented by the British Government to keep the Irish divided and under the domination of Great Britain.

Roman Catholic AnswerAs people, Catholics and Protestants get along fine in most cases. Those who call themselves Catholic or Protestant and believe that what they say is more important than what they do may have problems getting along. But the whole basis of Christianity is following Our Blessed Lord who taught love of neighbor. Anytime you see people NOT getting along, you know that they are not following the teachings of their religion. The primary way that they have to follow Our Blessed Lord, Who said, "Take my yoke upon you, and learn from me, for I am meek and humble of heart; and you will find rest for your souls." St. Matthew 12:29. Or as the Venerable Bede (a great English English saint who died in 735 A.D.) said, "Those who are not humble can not be saved."

If you are referring to the troubles in Ireland, it wasn't really a religious conflict so much as a national one. The Irish have been fighting the British ever since they took over their nation and reduced them to poverty and servitude. The Irish all happened to be Catholic, having escaped the worst of Henry and Elizabeth's forced apostasy and the British were mostly all protestants.

Sort of a broad question, you need to be more specific, in what country and what century? Over all, there is not reason for Catholics and protestants to fight, are you speaking of rulers or common people?

If you want a reason for something, you are going to have to narrow it down to a specific country and century, at the very least.

Who won the fight over religion when the Catholics and protestants fought?

Roman Catholic AnswerUnfortunately, there have been many "fights" between protestants and Catholics in the last five hundred plus years, and, sorry to say, that there are never any winners in such a fight. When you have two groups of people, both professing to be Christian, and following Our Blessed Lord's command to "turn the other cheek", then anyone fighting at anytime is to lose as soon as you start fighting because you are disobeying God.

Why do some Irish Catholics become terrorist?

This has happened to very few Catholics and their terrorist actions were certainly not those of a Catholic. It happened because Catholics were made feel and were treated as second class citizens, compared to Protestants..AnswerThis has little if nothing to do with religion. The English came in and took over Ireland, subjecting them, for many years, to cruel oppression. It just so happens that the English were all protestant and the Irish were all Catholic. It has mainly been a fight by the Irish to reclaim their country. It has NOTHING to do with "Catholics" becoming "terrorists".

Justify the cruel behavior between Catholics and other Christians?

I can't. Over the centuries, Christians of all persuasions have persecuted those they could dominate. So, the Catholics persecuted the Arians, the Cathars and, where possible, the Protestants. In turn, Protestants persecuted Catholics in those countries where Catholics were in a minority. Protestants even persecuted other Protestants, such as when the Church of England persecuted the Puritans. The only credible explanation is that Christianity contains an element of intolerance that is usually kept hidden.
