Are All Terrorists Muslim? Not Even Close......

http://www.thedailybeast.com/articles/2015/01/14/are-all-terrorists-muslims-it-s-not-even-close.html

Oh my. The Islamophobes won't like this. Looks like the vast majority of terrorism incidents don't involve those-people-who-hate-us-for-our-freedom-fries. For the purposes of thread creation I think that terrorists are bad people no matter who they are but somehow Obama must be responsible and he should stop locking up tea partiers in FEMA camps.

 

Somebody had better clue in Dean Obeidallah about what the world experiences from islam-o-nazis. He is a (*)(*)(*)(*)ing idiot, and can't understand the truth below:

The Shoe Bomber was a Muslim
The Beltway Snipers were Muslims
The Fort Hood Shooter was a Muslim
The underwear Bomber was a Muslim
The U-S.S. Cole Bombers were Muslims
The Madrid Train Bombers were Muslims
The Bafi Nightclub Bombers were Muslims
The London Subway Bombers were Muslims
The Moscow Theatre Attackers were Muslims
The Boston Marathon Bombers were Muslims
The Pan-Am flight #93 Bombers were Muslims
The Air France Entebbe Hijackers were Muslims
The Iranian Embassy Takeover, was by Muslims
The Beirut U.S. Embassy bombers were Muslims
The Libyan U.S. Embassy Attack was by Musiims
The Buenos Aires Suicide Bombers were Muslims
The Israeli Olympic Team Attackers were Muslims
The Kenyan U.S, Embassy Bombers were Muslims
The Saudi, Khobar Towers Bombers were Muslims
The Beirut Marine Barracks bombers were Muslims
The Besian Russian School Attackers were Muslims
The first World Trade Center Bombers were Muslims
The Bombay & Mumbai India Attackers were Muslims
The Achille Lauro Cruise Ship Hijackers were Muslims
The September 11th 2001 Airline Hijackers were Muslims'

Thank you Religion of Peace !

 

Got it, ignore the wholesale slaughter around the world at the hands of Islamist, and then dishonesty claim that Islamic terror actually is a small percentage of terrorist acts, when in fact is that Islamic terrorism is king when it comes to the body count.

Nice fail, yet again.

 

Even Muslims are starting to admit the Islamic terrorism is a problem.


The only people who are in denial are PC liberal nerds who are scare to offend anybody while innocents are being slaughtered and raped by the thousands and beheaded on film.

 

of course most terrorists today are Muslim.

 

Does it matter? NOT AT ALL. The terrorists who are causing the larger problems in the world are undeniably Muslim. Sooooo your post is a colossal FAIL!

 

/end thread... followed by weak attempts to demonstrate the Christian equivalent... probably dating back to the crusades or something...

 

One thing that has been lost in all of this is the term terrorist. A terrorist commits acts of violence to bring attention to their view and/or to change the behaviour of social norms. It is very difficult to be a "lone" terrorist although the Unibomber could be considered such. Others who commit violent acts with the intention of dying may or may not be terrorists. The two teenagers in Columbine should be considered murderers not terrorists. Their intention wasn't to change society but to personally get even IMHO. Nor was there an organization supporting their activities. Current terrorists are both commiting acts of violence with the intent to change the behaviour of others and are supported by organizations which exist to take advantage of their activities long after they have died. I think this needs to be kept in mind when discussing who is and isn't a terrorist.

That is exactly what left loons try and do. If the islamic terror was a very rare occurrence like the christian nut cases, the author of the article referred to in the OP would have a point, but the reality is, islamic terror is an everyday vicious cruel occurance, perpetrated by the most vile humans to ever exist on this planet. These islamist pieces of (*)(*)(*)(*) are right up there with genghis khan, hitler, and host of other historical despots

 

Are you claiming all those loons you posted are even in the same brutal league as islamic pieces of fecal matter? This is why you liberals lose this argument every time

Exactly true, good post

 

Gorn, I like you. We're both lefties and I tend to mostly agree with you on just about everything.

But you and I know the big difference here. And that difference is, when these crazy wack job Christians commit acts of violence, America and Christians collectively as a whole condemn them, hate them, punish them, etc. I don't think you can say the same about Muslims. 80% of Egyptians think the punishment for apostasy should be death. An even higher percentage of British Muslims think Sharia Law should be implemented separately for British-Muslim citizens. When 9/11 happened, most of the world mourned with America while many Muslim nations celebrated the tragedy.

Just because you don't actively partake in the violence in a direct way as these terrorists have, your passive or active support of their actions contributes to a culture that allows such actions to happen again in the future. You CANNOT SAY that only a small minority of Muslims supported what happened in France. Even if just 10% of French Muslims are giddy about these dudes finally avenging their prophet (bet you the number is a little higher), that 10% is a LOT of people.

Islamic society is very far removed from secular Western society. Even the vast majority of peaceful, non-violent Muslims hold beliefs and view points anathema to most liberal, secular ideas you and I share about women's right's, gays, religious minorities, atheists, freedom of speech, the list goes on. It's this culture, based on religious belief, that dissuades progress. We should not be making light of this by comparing their society to our crazies, who we actively prosecute and reject as Westerners.

Bill Maher is absolutely right on this one. [video=youtube;HfUd1Cqtytk]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HfUd1Cqtytk[/video]

 

Ain't it convenient how right wingers ignored terrorism committed by white supremacists including the murder of two white cops in Las Vegas and one in Arizona.

 

Since you didn't provide links, I can't know if the white supremacists committed the murders because of wanting to instill fear and draw attention to a cause (terrorism) or because they were trying to avoid arrest (murder). Care to share the stories?

You would have been better served to have used the execution-style murder of the two New York City police officers as an example of terrorism (murder to instill fear and draw attention to a cause). But, even there, there is a Muslim connection. No? Yes. It also urns out the murderer was a Muslim convert acting, possibly in some part, on his new-found faith...but, mostly because he was insane.

Also, the article referenced in the opening post has a couple of problems.

The inference being we have it all wrong when making the claim the vast majority of terrorist attacks on the West are committed by Islamic extremists. Without arguing that, in fact, it is true most terrorist attacks on the West are carried out by Islamic extremists (because I believe a fair understanding of reality will prove it so), the article pretends to limit Western interests to geography when, in fact, we have had terrorist attacks, against Western interests, all around the world -- so much more than we've experienced at home. Why does the article want to limit the evaluation to the U.S. and Europe?

After that, the article just goes on to conflate all sorts of calamities with terrorism.

There are at least three distinguishing characteristic between all the other "terrorism" mentioned in the article and Islamic terrorism.

• Violence attributed to adherents of religions, other than Islam, are neither committed in the name of that religion nor can they be construed to be in accordance with any of the religious tenets. Not true with Islam. There is a rather large percentage of Muslims, worldwide, that believe Islamic extremists are following the tenets of their religion.
• The non-religious "terrorism" mentioned in the article, (i.e. narco-terrorism), is a result of turf battles or retribution for acts, committed within that community, if you will. Are there innocents caught up in the violence? No doubt. However, with Islamic terrorism, it is their expressed purpose to instill terror in innocents by the wholesale murder of innocents.
• While they don't call it "terrorism" in the article, comparing the murder rate with the incidence of terrorism kind of points out the speciousness of their entire premise.

There are other distinctions that could be made; for instance, the sheer number of countries -- around the globe -- in which Islamic-induced violence is occurring, but, those are the three that jumped out at me as I read the article.

The vast majority of terrorism, worldwide, is Islamic. No question about it. There are no global terrorist groups that rival the sheer number of Muslims who identify with terrorism; al-Qaeda, Islamic State, Islamic State in Iraq, Islamic State of Iraq and Levant, Abu Sayyaf in the Phllipines, Al-Gama'a al-Islamiyya in Egypt, Al-Aqsa Martyrs' Brigades in Gaza and the West Bank, Al-Shabaab in Somalia, Ansar al-Islam in Iraq, Armed Islamic Group in Algeria ... the alphabetical list goes on and on and on to Tawhid and Jihad in Iraq.

Over 80 identifiable Islamic terrorist groups, around the world. They have no peer.

 

We will probably never know whether US citizens Anwar al-Awlaki and his son would have opposed the actions of the terrorists from Yemen in the Charlie Hebdo incident as a bad idea, and maybe even been able to thwart it, since they were both droned in Yemen by US forces back in 2011.

 

So now you are apologizing for Muslims by trying to make it seem as though other groups have killed more and committed more violence than Muslims? Are you defending the Paris attacks too? Deflection of facts is so transparent. You are using that well known tactic called SIN
S. Shift the blame
I. Ignore facts
N. Name calling

That's desperation and it's pathetic.

 

We have a couple of posters here, who like those in Germany, stood by and turned a blind eye to the atrocities committed around them, saying its no big deal.

Sick

 

If it wasn't so stupidly insulting it would be funny.

"“Not all Muslims are terrorists, but all terrorists are Muslims.” How many times have you heard that one? " Me? I've never heard it. I read it here for the first time.

That is followed by the irrelevant attack on Fox News.

Then: "Obviously, there are people who sincerely view themselves as Muslims who have committed horrible acts in the name of Islam. We Muslims can make the case that their actions are not based on any part of the faith but on their own political agenda. But they are Muslims, no denying that."

Wow. The author of the joke stakes out his territory with "We Muslims...."

And the whining continues interspersed with nonsense. Two-percent of the "terror" attacks are by Muslims. But, "Have you heard of these incidents? Probably not. But if Muslims had committed them do you think you our media would’ve covered it? No need to answer, that’s a rhetorical question."

Poor babies.

Perhaps the OP should actually read the articles before he jumps on the hate bandwagon.

 

And you can't see a difference between a murderer who attacks those he believes have harmed him/her in some way and someone who walks into a malll and just starts shooting screaming Allahu Akbar?

 

I love this argument. Do one google search for us and then reply with what you've found:

Number of people killed by muslim terrorism in JUST the past 10 years on Earth.

Then google for us, number of people killed by non-muslim terrorists in the past...let's say...50 years.

Thanks

 

Right wingers also conveniently overlooked the fact that in the genocidal wars between Hutus and Tutsis where there were scores of terrorist actions resulting in the deaths of over one million, these were committed by Christians who claim to worship the Prince of Peace.

 

So which side Hutus or Tutsis are pushing Christianity? That is the driving force? Really?

 

Nice set of claims, too bad you seem to have forgotten the many children and innocents killed in Northern Ireland by Christians, both Protestants and Catholics.

 

While not all terrorist are not muslims, in the last 10 years how many people have been killed by muslims, and how many have been killed by everyone else. Just in the last couple of days some 2000 people have been killed by boko haram a muslim terrorist organization.

 

I'll go a step further and say they're Helen Thomas types who want the Jews to "go back to Poland." I think they like what they see, Christians being slaughtered and displaced by Muslims in previously European-colonized areas, and Jews being run out of Europe. This is their idea of international social justice. Being mostly Christophobes and anti-Semites, until someone blows up their own kid at the mall, this is a good thing.
