Sectarisch

[IkHouVanPulcino]

Hello everyone, I have a little problem with the translation of the word Sectarisch in this sentence:

In verscheidene delen van Irak zijn donderdag en vrijdag de lichamen gevonden van honderden slachtoffers van het sectarisch geweld dat het land teistert.

I haven't found any possible translation for that word in my dictionary, and not even in online dictionaries or in WD forum. Help!

Thanks

Simona

Dear Simona,

Sectarisch is also spelled as Sektarisch, which might be in your dictionary.

It means:
Belonging to a sect. (sekte in dutch language).

Regards, Moldo

In English, it translates as sectarian - and in this particular instance: "sectarian violence" (for sectarisch geweld).

 

[übermönch]

Sectarian
is the English term.
EDIT:forget it, nv was faster! "/
