Lot of BS in there Isaac Send a noteboard - 01/02/2010 11:33:08 PM
First off, it is explicitely stated that the data is for attacks on American Soil. Beyond neatly leaving off the hundreds of attacks since '01 off american soil, it leaves out 3 of the most prominent terrorist attacks of the timeline mentioned - the attack on the barracks in beruit, the attack in the berlin disco, and the bombing of the USS Cole, I think there was a couple embassies bombings too. The FBI has every reason not to include these attacks, their mission is primarily stateside, the author of this rather vicious rant did not, it's just intellectual dishonesty warping data while spewing some of the worst bile I've seen in a while. I'd almost half expect the author looked up the figures assuming right-wing terrorist attacks would make up a big chunk of that pie chart and was so ticked that it wasn't that they wrote this whole thing in a fit of rage.

All Terrorists are Muslims… except the 94% that aren’t. - 01/02/2010 10:42:12 PM 1820 Views
I find that unsurprising. - 01/02/2010 11:31:43 PM 495 Views

I'm afraid I have to agree with this. - 01/02/2010 11:46:02 PM 563 Views
Well, no. Robbery accounts for a very small percentage of those attacks. Look at the chart. - 01/02/2010 11:50:39 PM 531 Views
I found the so-called Islamophobic reply... allow me to quote it in its entirety. - 01/02/2010 11:52:37 PM 547 Views
It's a valid complaint. *NM* - 02/02/2010 01:49:08 AM 208 Views

Dude, 46 seconds. I was typing it while you posted. *NM* - 02/02/2010 12:05:44 AM 209 Views
True, but I was referring to attacks on US soldiers. - 02/02/2010 01:47:55 AM 521 Views
That's still a bad benchmark - 02/02/2010 10:00:23 AM 612 Views
You would be very wrong - 02/02/2010 02:11:08 PM 568 Views
Um, since when is all Mid-East terrorism against foreign occupiers? - 02/02/2010 12:33:13 AM 684 Views
I would agree with this. - 02/02/2010 02:33:47 AM 607 Views
It was bound to happen sooner or later. - 02/02/2010 04:10:13 AM 643 Views
This is the only problem I have with "definitions" - 02/02/2010 04:51:00 AM 516 Views
You're conflating two types of fighters who shouldn't be, I believe. - 03/02/2010 06:16:21 AM 508 Views
I think you missed the point. - 05/02/2010 05:15:40 AM 516 Views
One of us did. - 05/02/2010 08:26:07 AM 691 Views
I'm not talking ETHICALLY or MORALLY - 14/02/2010 06:41:32 PM 516 Views
I was, or at least speaking legally. - 15/02/2010 06:54:50 AM 577 Views

Ah, good. I've driven you out of lurking. Now recommend me operas. *NM* - 02/02/2010 02:41:30 AM 206 Views
