"A joint project by the Investigative Fund at the Nation Institute, a nonprofit media centre, and news outlet Reveal from the Center for Investigative Reporting took a look at the 201 designated terrorism incidents within the US from 2008 to 2016.
The results: “right-wing extremists were behind nearly twice as many incidents” as terror acts associated with those identified as “Islamist domestic terrorism”. Greg, from your own link:
More people died in the Islamist incidents, a total of 90 due to mass shootings like the one in Fort Hood, Texas in 2009.
And this from a country with a tiny Muslim minority, covering a time period that excludes 9/11.
Would it be fair to conclude that even among terrorists, Muslims set a new low?
Also, far more Islamist attacks were thwarted by police.BTW, did you know that America is not Europe? I did not know that. That would probably explain why I couldn't find the Eiffel Tower the last time I was in Chicago. I'm a silly duffer Even a stopped clock is right twice a day. What do you think is the best measure of terrorist threat? Total death toll? Does it surprise you that Muslims achieve a higher death toll even when they only make up a tiny minority? Best measure? As Yadda will gladly tell you, every terrorist is a terrorist. Why have you suddenly introduced death tolls? That's not what we were discussing. It's almost as if you're trying to steer the conversation away from the fact that the majority of terrorist attacks in the western world are carried out by non-Muslims. Of course, you'd never stoop that low, would you? I'm happy to discuss European terror statistics if you want. I didn't make you bring up the American stats. What do you think is more important, the number of separate attacks, or the death toll? Would you for example place any significance in a statistic that equated 9/11 with an attack in which a single person died? Is this why it took you so long long to produce any evidence, and why you always produce different evidence? Excuse me, FD, there seems to be some confusion here. Could you just clarify which group conducts the most terrorist attacks in Europe? Cheers. Which class of terrorism has killed the most people since 9/11 karnal? That's what you should be asking. Why? That's not what we're discussing. You love changing the subject when you're losing an argument, don't you Homo? Greg why are you afraid to discuss the very statistic that you keep bringing up and which is the topic of this thread? FD, why are you so afraid to write down which group carries out the most act of terrorism? I'm concerned for you. I can sense your fear. What's your strategy for dealing with it?
