I am unsure who you're talking to, Soren? I have made no such claims. I have merely defended Greg from what appears, on the surface, to be unwarranted attacks against the EuroPol statistics. Until you address the reality that more non-Jihadist attacks occurred than Jihadist attacks, you're just whistling dixie, Soren. A not unusual situation for you, as we all know but still the truth of what you're doing...  As the report shows, jihad is by far the most deadly terrorist threat, dwarfing all others put together by an immense margin. That's not islamophobia or whistling dixie, cockwomble, thats reality - the thing you have been unmoored from for far too long. It may be the more deadly threat BUT and it is a big BUT, Soren, it happens less often - which is the point that Greg has made, using the EuroPol statistics. You appear unwilling to accept or recognise that Greg is arguing frequency, not deadliness. You really are being quite foolish, as are all the Islamophobes. Such silly billies. Mass murder happens much less often than posting incitement to terrorism, wankpuffin, but it is much more serious and its consequences are actually deadly. That is why everyone, from Europol to Interpol and ASIO and all the rest regard Islamic jihad a much, much more serious concern than Paddy muttering darkly into his Guinness somewhere in the bowels of Ireland or a Kurd plotting against some Turk or a hirsute Greek drinking too much ouzo and not shaving for three days. To grimace and gesticulate about numbers without paying attention to consequences of actions is the usual wanky idiocy that you and your alter ego, Turdy McNobsocket perpetrate on the innocent public here at Ozpolitic every day. THAT IS your terrorism, militant faarkwittery. You still refuse to accept reality, Soren. Terrorism occurs most frequently in Europe when committed by non-Islamists. It is indeed Paddy who commits the most Terrorist acts in Europe, not Mohammed. Frequency - how often something occurs. Get it yet? Paddy? The last big bomb to go off was around 92 Brian. Get with the times. From the 2018 Europol report: "There were 88 security-related incidents in Northern
Ireland, of which 58 were shooting and
30 were bombing incidents."Thoughts? How many dead? They never answer Frank. It scares them to answer. Typical spineless leftist apologists. Don't they? Unlike you, I prefer to sleep, Hammer. My answer is contained here: Terrorism in Great Britain: the statistics Quote:According to official data from 11 September 2001 to 31 March 2016,
there were 54 deaths in Great Britain as a direct result of terrorist acts
(excluding the perpetrators). 1
The Global Terrorism Database (at the University of Maryland) is
contracted by the US Department of State to collate statistical data and
information on terrorist events from around the world.
The chart below uses data from the GTD to show the number of deaths
due to terrorism in the UK from 1970 to 2016.
According to this data there were 3,262 victims of terrorism in the time
period shown. The majority of deaths between 1970 and 1990 were in
Northern Ireland (86%). There are two clear peaks in the number of
people killed: 1972, where 344 people were killed in Northern Ireland,
and 1988, where 271 people were killed in Scotland in the Lockerbie
bombing.
The general trend from around the 1980s is a decrease in the number
of people of killed due to terrorism. [p.5, Terrorism in Great Britain: the statisticsI have yet to find out the numbers of recent deaths in Northern Ireland due to Terrorism but I am working on it.
