I think the term is 'sectarian'.

• samstave 15y ago
  A sectarian word for factions. Tomato Potato --- Sectarian: of, relating to, or characteristic of a sect or sectarian limited in character or scope --- Faction a party or group (as within a government) that is often contentious or self-seeking : clique party spirit especially when marked by dissension --- You would be a fool to claim that sectarian skirmishes are not also political, given the widespread theocratic nature of governments under both muslim and jewish rule. In this case - this is an attack, while premised on the appearance of religion, is actually a theocratic/political-religious attack.
