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 1792 Views
I find that unsurprising. LadyLorraine - 01/02/2010 11:31:43 PM 477 Views
Lot of BS in there Isaac - 01/02/2010 11:33:08 PM 588 Views
I'm afraid I have to agree with this. Legolas - 01/02/2010 11:46:02 PM 539 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 507 Views
I found the so-called Islamophobic reply... allow me to quote it in its entirety. Legolas - 01/02/2010 11:52:37 PM 524 Views
It's a valid complaint. *NM* Ghavrel - 02/02/2010 01:49:08 AM 203 Views
Whose complaint is valid? Legolas - 02/02/2010 01:55:58 AM 487 Views
Yours. *NM* Ghavrel - 02/02/2010 02:15:01 AM 209 Views
I did note the rampant bias. Ghavrel - 01/02/2010 11:48:55 PM 602 Views
What about attacks on Iraqi police volunteers? beckstcw - 01/02/2010 11:53:58 PM 498 Views
it only included attacks on American soil *NM* random thoughts - 02/02/2010 02:03:16 PM 216 Views

Dude, 46 seconds. I was typing it while you posted. *NM* Legolas - 02/02/2010 12:05:44 AM 200 Views
True, but I was referring to attacks on US soldiers. Ghavrel - 02/02/2010 01:47:55 AM 498 Views
That's still a bad benchmark Isaac - 02/02/2010 10:00:23 AM 585 Views
You would be very wrong random thoughts - 02/02/2010 02:11:08 PM 542 Views
Um, since when is all Mid-East terrorism against foreign occupiers? Joel - 02/02/2010 12:33:13 AM 663 Views
I would agree with this. Cannoli - 02/02/2010 02:33:47 AM 585 Views
It was bound to happen sooner or later. Joel - 02/02/2010 04:10:13 AM 616 Views
This is the only problem I have with "definitions" beckstcw - 02/02/2010 04:51:00 AM 494 Views
You're conflating two types of fighters who shouldn't be, I believe. Joel - 03/02/2010 06:16:21 AM 483 Views
I think you missed the point. beckstcw - 05/02/2010 05:15:40 AM 494 Views
One of us did. Joel - 05/02/2010 08:26:07 AM 662 Views
I'm not talking ETHICALLY or MORALLY beckstcw - 14/02/2010 06:41:32 PM 496 Views
I was, or at least speaking legally. Joel - 15/02/2010 06:54:50 AM 557 Views
Churchill's justification of bombings cited civilians as the targets, IIRC Cannoli - 03/02/2010 12:46:16 AM 679 Views

Demographics are the key, methinks. Joel - 02/02/2010 12:20:46 AM 602 Views
WTF? Are these people serious? Tom - 02/02/2010 02:19:05 AM 539 Views
Ah, good. I've driven you out of lurking. Now recommend me operas. *NM* Ghavrel - 02/02/2010 02:41:30 AM 200 Views
Huh? *NM* Tom - 02/02/2010 02:03:24 PM 218 Views
I made a survey on musicals and operas on the board! Ghavrel - 02/02/2010 05:15:45 PM 461 Views

So what? Cannoli - 02/02/2010 02:23:42 AM 546 Views
Waco were terrorist? Do they just make this crap up? *NM* random thoughts - 02/02/2010 02:00:40 PM 392 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 574 Views
I'd assume so. It's not very well written, though. *NM* Ghavrel - 03/02/2010 06:35:37 AM 314 Views
