1) And this matters because we all know suicide bombings/attacks are the only known form of terrorism. Oh wait, no, there are other ways to skin a cat. My apologies if this wasn't another fallacy on your part where this fact was used to prove something unrelated. Maybe you just thought i would be interested in this random fact.
2) Remarkable, this has only happened nearly every single time with terrorist groups. Same shit with basques/ETA, Irish/IRA and Jews/Irgun. You get the idea. It's once again something universal that you appear to be trying to pin on Muslims.
I glanced right over your question because it made no sense. Like literally it made no sense. It just wasn't decipherable. Someone mentioned incoherent. But you are correct i am not able to refute a fact you have not made.
My arguments in this thread haven't changed.
Muslims do not pose a terrorist threat any more than any other major religion or ideology. On any given time and area one of them most likely shows the strongest correlation with recent attacks. Since the beginning of "private" terrorism around 1850 that top spot has changed multiple times. Since the beginning gender has shown stronger correlation in almost all time periods and geographical areas.
Even though it is extremely likely that any given random terrorist attack is done by a male terrorist, it is extremely unlikely that any random male is a terrorist. For me it would be silly to claim that men pose a terrorist threat. Because i think that, it would be even sillier to claim that a group that shows an even weaker correlation to current attacks would pose a terrorist threat.
And in case you're wondering, i do think that ISIS poses a terrorist threat. Dealing with those 50k deranged individuals can be done without fucking with 1,6 billion mostly harmless Muslims. Fucking with the 1,6b feeds in to that 50k and it keeps doing the 50k's information warfare for them.
