Be honest. Were you surprised when the name of the attacker turned out to be Khalid Massoud?

Funny how many of these type of attacks turn out to be perpetrated by Muslims, even in places with relatively small Muslim populations.

Just in my head, though!
Past 5 years modifier is the one that gives you the results you want. Taking North Ireland out of the equation does nothing to change the top spot (IRA and friends were quite active in their bombing campaign in the main land). The thing is i have no problem with honesty. I don't just randomly forget incidents that i talked about year ago and claim that "every major terrorist act" was done by a muslim in the last few years etc.

I'm not surprised about anything. It happens when you stop assuming things. Were you surprised the attacker turned out to be Adrian Elms?

The last terrorist that was sentenced in the UK was Thomas Mair. That was 4 months ago. Does that surprise you or are we at that point that if it's not a muslim it's not even terrorism?

Yea it's funny how many attacks in the main land UK turned out to be perpetrated my catholics in a 40 year period, even with a relatively small catholic population. Then 15 years ago it just stopped. Nothing major happened to prevalence of Catholicism. There wasn't any kinda purge. No final solution. Could it possible be that we can't use Catholicism to explain or predict terrorist activity. Here's a crazy thought maybe that applies to every major sect of every major religion. Could that possibly make sense since they've all pretty much had their place in the sun regarding acts of terror, jews included.
I'm not sure why you're trying so hard to discredit the correct statement that Muslims are far more likely to commit acts of terror in today's western countries.

The IRA was an outlier. How many Catholics in the US or elsewhere do you see committing acts of terror? For whatever reason, the IRA decided to resort to terror tactics on behalf of their cause. However, as wrong as they were, this was a very specific cause, specific conflict, and taking place in a specific country.

Terror attacks are the MO of Muslims. That's why they occur all over the world, and why people jump to the conclusion of "It must be an Arab/Muslim" whenever we hear of terror attacks.

Let's take the US, for example.

Muslims make up 1% of the US population.

Do you think Muslims make up 1% of all terror attacks in the US? Is it even close to 1%?

Let's multiply that figure by 10. Since the year 2000, would you say the percentage of Muslim-committed terror attacks in the US were greater than 10% or less than 10%?

Unless you're trying to make the case that Muslims commit 1% of all US terror attacks (or somewhere near that), then I think it's pretty safe to say that Muslims ARE indeed terror threats.

For some reason this is very difficult for lefties like you to admit, and instead you resort to naming all the non-Muslims who committed acts of terror.

Sure, we've had our Tim McVeighs and our Ted Kaczynskis. That doesn't take away from the fact that Muslims are a far, far, far greater threat per capita than any other segment of our population.
