A lot less time than it would have taken to read that web page.

I was actually more interested in his reluctance to post examples, given that he obviously went to the trouble of finding them and he was more than happy to copy and paste the statistics.

But, FD, that's not possible. You said Greggery had forgotten how to cut and paste, remember?

Would you like Greggery to rewrite his examples for you?

No reluctance at all.

I posted several examples.

Telling the same lie over and over again won't make it come true.

You asked, and I provided.

You were shocked that I could come up with so many examples, so you quickly started to duck and weave.

Greggery, that's just unfair. FD's point now is that you posted too many examples. How could he possibly have the time to read them?

It's much quicker to tell you to post more examples, you know.

Yes Greg, eventually you did, when the examples themselves became less embarrassing for you than your reluctance to post them. Then you invented quotes on my behalf because I never said what you attributed to me.

Do you think your statistics accurately capture the terrorism problem?

How could they be embarrassing - they were exactly what you asked for?

Moreover, there was no reluctance to post them. No matter how many times you tell that lie, it won't come true.

And, I did not invent any quotes.

As I've already explained to you before: you asked, and I provided.

You were then so shocked that I could come up with so many examples, you decided to change tact.

Was there something about the wording of the question that made you willing to answer this time?

Do you think that consistently equating graffiti attacks with attacks causing multiple fatalities might undermine its ability to accurately capture the terrorism problem? Hint: the answer has nothing to do with where the statistics come from.

And?

Do you have a point? If so, get to it before we all die.

I don't think you have one, though. I think you're still butthurt.

No.

All terrorism is a problem.

I've told you this before.

Not all terrorism is the same. To pretend that they have no different motivations is just wilfully stupid.

You can't have a handle on Islamic terrorism is you pretend that hey are no different to Quaker terrorism. It is completely unacceptable to ignore the Islamic roots of Islamic terrorism and to pretend that their ideology has nothing to do with what they do.

Islamic terrorism must be tackled as Islamic, not as some generic, no-name same-as-same as terrorism. Islam IS a player in terrorism, don't try to excuse it all the time.
