"Most muslims are terrorists" a racist lie.

Indeed, but at least they are usually arrived at following some general consensus.

 

 

A million people marched against the war in 2002, me included.

 

The decision was America's, we in the UK followed as the poodle we've become, and the Bush family stuff their pockets with lucrative kickbacks and contracts.

Thats ok then

[boyfriday]

Thats ok then

 

Did I say that?

[Grahame]

This is from another thread, and misses out by far the biggest group, which was "unidentified" or somesuch

 

There isn't much point discussing terrorist attacks committed by unknown people.

That was for the period "1/1/2004 and 12/7/2007."

 

 

"official charting of terror acts (note the difference between “terror acts” and “acts of terrorists”) compiled by the National Counterterrorism Center’s Worldwide Incidents Tracking System (NCTC) at the direction of the President and Congress, and found at in its raw form at http://www.hddweb.com/95376/Copy_of_...ist_Events.xls .

This vast database provides an authoritative and deeply researched list of incidents worldwide, occurring between 1/1/2004 and 12/7/2007, which have the potential to be terrorist incidents, once the motive and responsible parties are determined."

So there can't be much point in discuusing terrorist acts comminted by muslims or Xians???????????????????????????????????

[Greybeard]

Don't see the point of this thread. Generalising about Muslims and terrorism whilst restricting the theatre of activity to the US excludes the many and ongoing acts of terrorism perpetrated by Islamic extremists in many other parts of the world and is a bit of a dead end argument.

 

My perception is that most victims of Islamic terrorism are fellow Muslims and certainly nothing to do with race, although in places like Iraq and Pakistan there seems to be a tribal dimension to the atrocities.

 

It's hard to get away from the conclusion that in the Muslim world terrorism is seen as a justifiable means to a political end no matter who is killed and maimed in the process, and it's equally hard to imagine how the process can be halted, never mind prevented.

Half was USA, half was Europe.

 

That leaves out a hell of a lot of the world..

[s.hawkins]

On the FBI’s official website, there exists a chronological list of all terrorist attacks committed on U.S. soil from the year 1980 all the way to 2005. That list can be accessed here (scroll down all the way to the bottom).

 

http://www.fbi.gov/publications/terror/terrorism2002_2005.htm

 

According to this data, there were more Jewish acts of terrorism within the United States than Islamic (7% vs 6%). These radical Jews committed acts of terrorism in the name of their religion. These were not terrorists who happened to be Jews; rather, they were extremist Jews who committed acts of terrorism based on their religious passions, just like Al-Qaeda and company.

 

Yet notice the disparity in media coverage between the two. It would indeed be very interesting to construct a corresponding pie chart that depicted the level of media coverage of each group. The reason that Muslim apologists and their “leftist dhimmi allies” cannot recall another non-Islamic act of terrorism other than Waco is due to the fact that the media gives menial (if any) coverage to such events.

 

 

If a terrorist attack does not fit the “Islam is the perennial and existential threat of our times” narrative, it is simply not paid much attention to, which in a circuitous manner reinforces and “proves” the preconceived narrative.

 

It is to such an extent that the average American cannot remember any Jewish or Latino terrorist; why should he when he has never even heard of the Jewish Defense League or the Ejercito Popular Boricua Macheteros? Surely what he does not know does not exist!

 

 

 

 

The data gathered by Europol strengthens my argument even further.

 

http://www.europol.europa.eu/index.asp?page=publications&language=

 

Europol publishes an annual report entitled EU Terrorism Situation and Trend Report. On their official website, you can access the reports from 2007, 2008, and 2009.

 

 

The results are stark, and prove decisively that not all terrorists are Muslims.

 

In fact, a whopping 99.6% of terrorist attacks in Europe were by non-Muslim groups; a good 84.8% of attacks were from separatist groups completely unrelated to Islam.

 

 

Leftist groups accounted for over sixteen times as much terrorism as radical Islamic groups.

 

 

Only a measly 0.4% of terrorist attacks from 2007 to 2009 could be attributed to extremist Muslims.

 

 

We have analyzed data from America and Europe (a good portion of the entire Western world), and the threat from Islamic terrorism is much more minimal than commonly assumed; in the U.S., it accounts for 6% of terrorist attacks, and in Europe not even half of a percent.

 

It is only through sensationalism and fear mongering that the topic of Islamic terrorism is allowed to be used to demonize a religious community that happens to be a minority in the West. When confronted by such lunacy, we ought to respond with the facts and the truth.

 

being muslim is not a race:roll:
