There aren't many people left who are still willing to defend Islam. Going against that trend is Greg, who has recently become obsessed with using misleading statics and blatant lies to defend Muslim terrorists from accusations that they are (shock, horror) worse than other terrorist groups who do not seek to cause mass casualties.
For the most part, Greg sticks to quoting statistics that equate 9/11 with attacks with no deaths or injuries. For example:

"Ethno-nationalist and separatist terrorist attacks
continue to far outnumber attacks carried out by
violent extremists inspired by any other ideologies or
motivations."Yes - that's exactly what the Europol report says.
In other words, he is afraid to offer any opinion, meaning, or interpretation - just quotes of exactly what is said. Greg has probably made 1000 posts very similar to the above in the past month, in response to a variety of questions and criticism.
When he does attempt to think for himself, it quickly gets very stupid, for example:

Nothing more than what it says Greg. It does not, for example, mean that Islamic terrorism is not the biggest terror problem in the world, which is something you also said, though you are ashamed to admit it now.
Do you think you are solving some kind of problem by lying to people about the problem of Islamic terrorism?
Ashamed? Not at all.
Islamic terrorism is not the biggest terror problem in the world.
Islamic terrorism is not the biggest terror problem in the world.
Islamic terrorism is not the biggest terror problem in the world.
One more time?
His evidence for this is a website from the EU which states, among other things, that Muslim terrorists account for nearly all deaths and most of the casualties due to terrorism in the EU - despite Muslims making up less than 4% of the population. When they publish Greg's preferred statistics that treat all attacks as equal regardless of death toll, Muslims are still the standout, being the only identifiable religious, political or ideological group to get their own category.
So far, when asked to explain how causing nearly all deaths and most of the casualties even when Muslims make up just a tiny minority leads him to conclude that jihadism is not the biggest terror problem, Greg can only retreat to parroting the misleading statistics.
Greg is also too scared to offer an opinion on whether it is misleading to endlessly parrot statistics that equate 9/11 style attacks with other attacks that cause no deaths or injuries.
Here is an example of his tapdancing:

Greg is now afraid to think for himself on this. All he can do is copy and paste misleading statistics.
Are the stats accurate?
A simple yes or no will suffice.
I have no idea if they are accurate Greg.
Do you think they are misleading, or are you too scared to have your own opinion?
I believe them to be accurate (unless someone can prove otherwise).
I don't find them misleading at all - it clearly shows that the majority of terrorist attacks in Europe are carried out by non-Muslims.
Moreover, so does the 2017 report - only 9% of attacks are attributed to Jihadists in 2016.
Do you think that statistics that equate 9/11 style attacks with attacks with no injuries are likely to be misleading?
I'm sure Yadda would agree with me when I say that every attack by terrorists is a terrorist attack.
Would you agree too, FD?
Here is Gandalf getting in on the act:

Is 9/11 worse than a paint bomb?
Take your time Greg. Think for yourself.
What threat to freedom and democracy do you consider to be greater than Islam?
Does the Europol report mention paint bombs?
I must say, I didn't see that.
Did a word search of the document and everything.
What page number is that on?
Oh deary me, so not paintbombing, not graffiti... FD what can you invent next - litterbugs? making faces?
So basically, this is what people who defend Islam now stoop to - defending mass murder as being equivalent to attacks with no deaths or injuries.
