Most of the Iraq violence isn't against the foreign occupier... Legolas Send a noteboard - 01/02/2010 11:54:44 PM
He also did the research for Europe, though, and there's a similar situation there. The vast majority of European terrorist attacks are done by separatists. I've included the link; it's still very biased but much less polemic.

Other than that, you're left with the Middle East, and I find it difficult to label attacks on a foreign occupier "terrorism."


Or, well, I don't have numbers about the amounts of attacks committed vs. Americans compared to the amount committed vs. Iraqis, but the Iraqis are dying in such attacks in significantly greater numbers, that's for sure - and blowing up that mosque in Samarra obviously had more to do with targeting fellowing Iraqis than with targeting occupiers.

All Terrorists are Muslims… except the 94% that aren’t. Ghavrel - 01/02/2010 10:42:12 PM 2144 Views
I find that unsurprising. LadyLorraine - 01/02/2010 11:31:43 PM 766 Views
Lot of BS in there Isaac - 01/02/2010 11:33:08 PM 907 Views
I'm afraid I have to agree with this. Legolas - 01/02/2010 11:46:02 PM 819 Views
Well, no. Robbery accounts for a very small percentage of those attacks. Look at the chart. Ghavrel - 01/02/2010 11:50:39 PM 781 Views
I found the so-called Islamophobic reply... allow me to quote it in its entirety. Legolas - 01/02/2010 11:52:37 PM 814 Views
It's a valid complaint. *NM* Ghavrel - 02/02/2010 01:49:08 AM 339 Views
Whose complaint is valid? Legolas - 02/02/2010 01:55:58 AM 775 Views
Yours. *NM* Ghavrel - 02/02/2010 02:15:01 AM 352 Views
I did note the rampant bias. Ghavrel - 01/02/2010 11:48:55 PM 923 Views
What about attacks on Iraqi police volunteers? beckstcw - 01/02/2010 11:53:58 PM 786 Views
it only included attacks on American soil *NM* random thoughts - 02/02/2010 02:03:16 PM 360 Views

Dude, 46 seconds. I was typing it while you posted. *NM* Legolas - 02/02/2010 12:05:44 AM 333 Views
True, but I was referring to attacks on US soldiers. Ghavrel - 02/02/2010 01:47:55 AM 813 Views
That's still a bad benchmark Isaac - 02/02/2010 10:00:23 AM 915 Views
You would be very wrong random thoughts - 02/02/2010 02:11:08 PM 847 Views
Um, since when is all Mid-East terrorism against foreign occupiers? Joel - 02/02/2010 12:33:13 AM 978 Views
I would agree with this. Cannoli - 02/02/2010 02:33:47 AM 886 Views
It was bound to happen sooner or later. Joel - 02/02/2010 04:10:13 AM 932 Views
This is the only problem I have with "definitions" beckstcw - 02/02/2010 04:51:00 AM 801 Views
You're conflating two types of fighters who shouldn't be, I believe. Joel - 03/02/2010 06:16:21 AM 821 Views
I think you missed the point. beckstcw - 05/02/2010 05:15:40 AM 802 Views
One of us did. Joel - 05/02/2010 08:26:07 AM 976 Views
I'm not talking ETHICALLY or MORALLY beckstcw - 14/02/2010 06:41:32 PM 795 Views
I was, or at least speaking legally. Joel - 15/02/2010 06:54:50 AM 855 Views
Churchill's justification of bombings cited civilians as the targets, IIRC Cannoli - 03/02/2010 12:46:16 AM 1037 Views

Demographics are the key, methinks. Joel - 02/02/2010 12:20:46 AM 923 Views
WTF? Are these people serious? Tom - 02/02/2010 02:19:05 AM 816 Views
Ah, good. I've driven you out of lurking. Now recommend me operas. *NM* Ghavrel - 02/02/2010 02:41:30 AM 338 Views
Huh? *NM* Tom - 02/02/2010 02:03:24 PM 350 Views
I made a survey on musicals and operas on the board! Ghavrel - 02/02/2010 05:15:45 PM 734 Views

So what? Cannoli - 02/02/2010 02:23:42 AM 863 Views
Waco were terrorist? Do they just make this crap up? *NM* random thoughts - 02/02/2010 02:00:40 PM 549 Views
So I presume the article meant to highlight that Muslim American citizens aren't all that violent? Larry - 03/02/2010 04:17:06 AM 872 Views
I'd assume so. It's not very well written, though. *NM* Ghavrel - 03/02/2010 06:35:37 AM 450 Views
