...since the unchanged numbers will still prove my point.

Incorrect.

Most terrorist attacks around the world, since 2001, have been carried out by non-Muslims.

I've provided the proof. I've proven my point beyond all doubt.

Thus far, you have provided absolutely nothing, except your personal opinion (which is based on irrational fear, fueled by talk-back radio, 60 Minutes, and ignorant work colleagues/friends).

When you can come up with something concrete to refute the facts I've presented, let me know. I'll be right here.

Well NO, since I don't have any 'irrational fear', don't listen to 'talk-back radio', and don't have any 'work colleagues'....

I apologise, and retract the statement.

Thus far, you have provided absolutely nothing, except your personal opinion.

Based on real media report...(not the Greens/lefty/AGW type news)

And that's exactly why you are mistaken.

Not all terrorist attacks are reported in our media.

Most of the Muslim ones are, as those guys are the current "baddies".

However, the majority of terrorist attacks don't make our news.

No, not at all. Quite the contrary.

The majority of terrorist attacks are committed by non-Muslims and, as such, they just aren't interesting enough to make the news.

The non-Muslim attacks are recorded though, by the FBI, Europol, etc. I posted information from them before. You remember that? It showed that most terrorist attacks are carried out by non-Muslims. Of course you remember Wink

greggerypeccary,

I have got news for you.......

In today's world, terrorism is synonymous with ISLAM.

In the minds of the ignorant, yes.

In the real world, not so much.

so you think America and Australia are more about terrorism?..

No.

I think America and Australia are countries.

I think Islam is a religion.

I don't think any of them are "synonymous" with terrorism.

really??...ok so who do you think is "synonymous" with TERRORISM... as it is on the rise...

Terrorists.

so terrorists have no agenda?? they just seem to like blowing things up and chopping off head and taking selfies with them..

terrorists come from all walks of life..

and I guess anyone who robs a bank is a terrorist because he is usually armed and the other person isnt....

it is you who are disclaiming terrorists are of the Muslim faith...mostly..you c&p a lot of other peoples comments on this.. which are all pretty old...

so as I said terrorism is on the increase.

.if you can c&p something written in 2014 to say its on the decrease I will be more than happy to agree with you..in fact I will go out and celebrate.

Just to throw the conspiracy theory back into the limelight ....

I believe that the greatest terrorist attack supposedly perpetrated by Muslims in the last decade ... the World Trade Centre

.... was not carried out by Islamic Terrorists ... but was an inside job used as an excuse to fight the war on the WOMD & the Axis of Evil.

The real axis of evil being the Bushes & their clique of scum like Cheney, Rumsfeld & other world elite.

Quite the contrary.

There are many, many crazy Muslim terrorists.

You should read the posts in this forum properly before you make your stupid, ignorant comments. You are continually making a fool of yourself.

Lay off the sherry dear, and try to keep up with the conversation. OK?

Only today a Muslim was attempting to fly over, he had over 30 grand on him and plenty of Jihadist literature. He was detained by a newly formed unit that will work to weed these would be heros out.

Nothing sensationalist about that lot. That's just plain facts.

why are we stopping these people.
