The problem is when a non muslim commits a terrorist attack, it is not referred to as a terrorist attack.
FFS. WILL YOU LOT GIVE US AN EXAMPLE? Don't just "type" retoric. Give us the story. You have obviously heard of instances that you believe to be terrorist acts caused by whites in the last 20yrs.....or.... you're just making up crap.
Now if you don't supply us with the stories then we can assume you're just pissing and moaning to, well as gregg has said in the past, even out the argument because it is to one sided round ere!!!
In laymens terms....you're trolling.
I can happily supply you with a comprehensive list of islamic terrorism. It is documented very well because it is rife.
Well lets look just at America in 2017:
A 64-year-old white man from Nevada opened fire on a crowd of more than 22,000 people at a country music festival in Las Vegas, killing more than 50 and wounding more than 200.
In August, a 20-year-old white Nazi sympathizer from Ohio sped his car into a crowd of anti-racist protesters in Charlottesville, Virginia, killing a woman and injuring at least 19 others.
In June, a 66-year-old white man from Illinois shot at Republican Congress members during an early morning baseball practice, severely wounding several people including Rep. Steve Scalise of Louisiana, the House of Representatives Majority Whip.
In March 2017, a 28-year-old white man from Baltimore traveled to New York City with the explicit aim of killing black men. He stabbed 66-year-old Timothy Caughman to death.
In May, a 35-year-old white man from Oregon named Jeremy Joseph Christian began harassing Muslim teenagers on a train in Portland, telling them “We need Americans here!” Two men interceded; Christian then stabbed and killed them both.
In fact, between 2001 and 2015, more Americans were
killed by homegrown right-wing extremists than by Islamist terrorists, according to a study by New America, a nonpartisan think tank in Washington, DC.
A June 2017 study by
Reveal and the Center for Investigative Reporting found a similar pattern:
To quote the Centre
Quote:From January 2008 to the end of 2016, we identified 63 cases of Islamist domestic terrorism, meaning incidents motivated by a theocratic political ideology espoused by such groups as the Islamic State. The vast majority of these (76 percent) were foiled plots, meaning no attack took place.
During the same period, we found that right-wing extremists were behind nearly twice as many incidents: 115. Just over a third of these incidents (35 percent) were foiled plots. The majority were acts of terrorist violence that involved deaths, injuries or damaged property.
Right-wing extremist terrorism was more often deadly: Nearly a third of incidents involved fatalities, for a total of 79 deaths, while 13 percent of Islamist cases caused fatalities. (The total deaths associated with Islamist incidents were higher, however, reaching 90, largely due to the 2009 mass shooting at Fort Hood in Texas.)
Incidents related to left-wing ideologies, including ecoterrorism and animal rights, were comparatively rare, with 19 incidents causing seven fatalities – making the shooting attack on Republican members of Congress earlier this month somewhat of an anomaly.
Nearly half (48 percent) of Islamist incidents in our database were sting operations, more than four times the rate for far-right (12 percent) or far-left (10.5 percent) incidents.
Looking at the previous graphic showing domestic terrorism incidents by type you can see that a large number of Right wing terrorist acts are not foiled.
This underscores another disparity: the federal government’s disproportionate commitment of investigative resources to rooting out Islamist terrorism.
Trump's muslim ban is interesting, considering:
While a majority of the incidents were perpetrated by right-wing extremists, the database indicates that federal law enforcement agencies focused their energies on pre-empting and prosecuting Islamist attacks, which constituted 31 percent of all incidents, a finding confirmed by counterterror experts.
For instance, 84 percent of Islamist incidents resulting in arrests involved terrorism charges, and all the law enforcement resources that implies, as opposed to 9 percent of far-right incidents.
These terrorist attacks are constantly occurring, but the general population doesn't know about them because they aren't being reported.
