Terrorist attack in Strasbourg
Dec 12th, 2018 at 7:11pm
 
What's the bet - another Muslim?

Manhunt after three killed in Strasbourg Christmas market shooting.


https://www.itv.com/news/2018-12-12/strasbourg-christmas-market-shooting/

Hundreds of police are hunting a gunman who killed three people near a Christmas market in Strasbourg on Tuesday evening.

French anti-terror police are investigating the shooting, with interior minister Christophe Castaner saying 350 officers are hunting for the man who was already known to security services.

The 29-year-old alleged gunman, from the city in eastern France and named in French media as Cherif C, has served prison sentences in France and Germany for common law offences.

He exchanged fire with armed officers as he "sowed terror", Mr Castaner said.

The suspect was shot and injured by soldiers guarding the Christmas market, but he escaped in a taxi, BFM TV said.

In the wake of the attack, which also left 11 people injured, five of whom are in a critical condition, the French government has increased its security alert to the highest level.

WHAT WE KNOW ABOUT THE SUSPECT

    He has been named in the French media as Cherif C, who was born in Strasbourg in February 1989.
    The suspect was subject of a 'fiche S', literally an S card, which is used by police to flag someone who is considered a threat to national security. Although not grounds for arrest, a fiche S allows surveillance.
    Interior minister Christophe Castaner said the suspect was known to police services and had served time in prison in France and Germany for common law offences.
    BFMTV said the suspect was known to be part of radicalised networks in Strasbourg and was a "repeat offender" and a "delinquent".
    His home was subject of a search on Tuesday morning as part of investigations into a robbery. He was not in but grenades were found.

Not a particularly safe bet.

The majority of terrorist attacks are carried out by non-Muslims.

Especially in Europe.

It's not impossible that it's a Muslim, but the odds are certainly against it.

As the official 2018 Europol report on terrorism states:

"Ethno-nationalist and separatist terrorist attacks
continue to far outnumber attacks carried out by
violent extremists inspired by any other ideologies or
motivations."


In Europe last year, 84% of terrorist attacks were carried out by non-Muslims.

Jihadists only accounted for 16%.

16% is still far too much, by the way, but it's still nowhere near the majority.

Quite the opposite, in fact.

You might be right.

But the vast majority of terrorists aren't Muslims.

Just giving you the facts.

I don't have access to that information, Bobby.

Not all crimes are reported on the Channel 7 "News".

I do have access to the official Europol reports on terrorism though, and they show year after year that the vast majority of terrorist attacks in Europe are carried out by non-Muslims.

The proof is all there, Booby.

You have to actually read the reports.

https://www.europol.europa.eu/activities-services/main-reports/eu-terrorism-situ...

Page 9:

https://www.europol.europa.eu/activities-services/main-reports/european-union-te...

Only 16% of attacks are by Jihadists.

Greggy's link:
https://www.europol.europa.eu/activities-services/main-reports/european-union-te...


In 2017 a total of 205 foiled, failed
and completed terrorist attacks were
reported by nine EU Member States.
The United Kingdom (UK) experienced
the highest number of attacks (1071),
followed by France (54), Spain (16),
Italy (14), and Greece (8). Belgium and
Germany reported 2 attacks each;
Finland and Sweden noted 1 attack
each. Spain, Finland and Sweden
reported on jihadist terrorist attacks
after a long period of having been
unaffected by this phenomenon. In
2017 68 victims died as a result of
terrorist attacks and 844 people were
injured2.

Similarly to 2016, nearly all
reported fatalities and casualties were
the result of jihadist terrorist attacks3.

No lies.

The vast majority of terrorist attacks in Europe are carried out by non-Muslims.

I've provide the indisputable proof.

84 is more than 16, Booby.

I didn't say anything about reported fatalities or casualties.

I said that the vast majority of terrorist attacks in Europe are carried out by non-Muslims.

I then provided you with the official, indisputable proof.

Moving the goal posts once you've been owned just makes you look like a fool.
