    "From middle class families of atheists, suffering from depression, the robot that paints a portrait of Prevention against sectarianism related to Islam in a slice related misconceptions."

    "Contrary to popular opinion, the recruits of radical Islam are not in the majority in Muslim families very practitioners: 80% of families with the case CDPSI are atheists, and only 10% have a grandparent immigrant."

    • 1.4+ billion Muslims in the world, should be enough to police their own kind... but they stay silent.robotron3k
    • ^ agreed. This is the only way it will work. Muslims will not listen to non-Muslims.dbloc
    • ^ *Stares* ...'their own kind', what? you mean humans. Also, 'they' don't stay silent, it's just a convenient lie you choose to regurgitate.Morning_star
    • I think it's probably safe to remember that God has clearly never told anyone to do anythingset
    • ^^point me to the Muslim security force that has prevented attacks Morning_star, would love to be more informed. seriously.robotron3k
    • btw, USA does not have enough Arab speakers in their CIA/FBI/NSA because many Arab/Muslims don't want to help improve safety of non-Muslims. truth.robotron3k
    • There are thousands of Muslims police officers in the UK Police Force. MI5, MI6 contains hundreds. 70,000 muslim clerics have issued a Fatwa against ISIS..Morning_star
    • or maybe they dont want to run the risk of being targets themselves...robotron3k
    • ...i can go on and on and on.Morning_star
    • The Muslim community needs more people standing up and speaking out against Terrorism & Killing innocent people.dbloc

    • A bit of scaremongering, I think - if "1 teaspoon" of TATP is as powerful as she suggests, "30-100lb" would've brought the entire building down, surely?detritus

    Don't listen to the people that are trying to scare you, especially if they want a vote from you.

    Things over here are fucked up but they have been more fucked up in the recent past.

    • this chart doesn't show who did the attacks nor does it show resources / size / reach of those terrorizing... lots of info missing to make this chart of any usePonyBoy
    • Must have been mostly the IRA in United Kingdom.yuekit
    • @PonyBoy yep. it's does require a knowledge of history.lowimpakt
    • i mean european history.lowimpakt
    • the main thing for me is that we (europeans) were shooting and blowing each other up. now it's non-europeans picking up where we left off.lowimpakt
    • although, they are european by many my estimation.lowimpakt
    • I could have said "oh, it's the NRA" just like anyone else... what you're not seeing here, lowimpakt is the people and reason involved in the terrorism...PonyBoy
    • ... are completely different.PonyBoy
    • Thus 'people are trying to scare you' is a moronic statement made by someone trying to compare the history of today vs. yesterday.PonyBoy
    • If you'd take into account the money, the resources, the WILLINGNESS TO DIE FOR THEIR GOD that the those 'non-europeans' you're talking about...PonyBoy
    • ... this chart would have completely different meaning.PonyBoy
    • No Modus Operandi to speak ofPonyBoy
    • The World doesn't / never had to fear the NRA... their reach was local w/a local purpose... people in LA didn't have the same fear of those in Belfast.PonyBoy
    • whereas folks in LA, NYC have the same fears as those in Brussels, Paris etc etc... EU is NOT the only target either, low.PonyBoy
    • do you mean the IRA?lowimpakt
    • LOL... yes... fucking... gun runners everywhere ... and uh... how about you address my point (you don't have a gotcha moment here w/the IRA / NRA thing)PonyBoy
    • can you rephrase your point as a question? I'm a bit unsure about what you're sayinglowimpakt
    • Fuck it I'm moving to Belgium!utopian
    • go ahead. go to greece n get an arab passport youll be in like flinyurimon
    • Pony, this info has nothing to do with the U.S.. That's your problem from the start. Not everything is 'Murica.severian
    • World doesn't revolve around you.severian
    • NRA --- hahaha the funny.severian
    • I used the US to show the size of the threat, sev—this is a global issue which makes it huge in comparison to the terror of EU's past 45 yrsPonyBoy
    • my point from the start is the chart shows numbers and places but leaves out the reason for the terror, the past being mainly political, today: religiousPonyBoy
    • And if the threat isn't from the EU but is external... I'd say there is something to fear for everyone everywhere—copycats everywhere (not the case in the past)PonyBoy
    • Another radical islamist sympathizer. Their is no problem. Move along. Nothing to see here.Hayoth
    • I like how people justify it. same people who would be the first killed under shri law.yurimon

    @ponypony I get you now. I want to give a slightly longer reply.

    "my point from the start is the chart shows numbers and places but leaves out the reason for the terror, the past being mainly political, today: religious" ponypony

    in my view it is difficult if not impossible to separate the political from the religious but I think the majority of the problem is political. It usually boils down to a desire to control, a fear of being controlled, access to resources/wealth, identity and myth.

    These things always get mixed up. For example, one of the narratives around the terrorism in Northern Ireland was that it was the the catholics were fighting the protestants. Many people around the world assumed that it was a religious thing.

    Religion was one thing that differentiated the groups fighting but the beef was entirely political. For example, catholics were effectively second class citizens i.e. couldn't take jobs at a senior level in the public sector, the police force refused to recruit catholics etc etc. And the terror groups on the other side wanted to maintain the control/status-quo and defend their communities.

    Some things to consider about the current situation.

    1. The latest cohort of fuckfaces are calling themselves "Islamic State" which in my view is telling.

    2. Many muslims are disgusted by these fuckfaces and are no way represented by them. There are many Muslim countries that have little or no conflict.

    3. The fact that the Islamist terrorist are acting globally is more a symptom of the fact that there is an international presence in the countries they are trying to get control of (not so much Boko Haram etc.). e.g. It's plausible that if other countries were invading/bombing Northern Ireland that the IRA would have attacked them too.

    now, it's such a massive clusterfuck I have no idea where we go from here.

    • I see your point too :) I get that it 'feels' political as much religious (if not more)... but the one difference I see that really stands out is the folks...PonyBoy
    • ...doing the 'terror' for the most are willing to take themselves out in the process. That kind of 'faith' is just insane—I find myself in complete agreement...PonyBoy
    • ... with your last statement: "I have no idea where we go from here."PonyBoy

    Cactus, the problem is NOT that 1/5 of world Muslim population is made up of stupid morons (that's stupid even withing circles of already stupid) but that in ANY group as much as 20-25% are so! I mean, 50% of US Christians believe that world is 6000 years old!! 25% don't even know that Earth revolves around Sun!!! We are talking the stupid of the stupid so ignorant that you can convince them of anything. ANYTHING: sleeping with newborns will cure you of AID - check!; thieves should have their hand cut off - check!; sun revolves around Earth - check!; Bible tells us world is 6000 years old - check!; Koran tells us that suicide bombing guarantees your place in heaven - check!

    It's nice that this lady is trying to show us that as much as 1/5 of Muslims are the morons of the morons but so is the case within ANY social group!!!

    "The opinion poll evidence in both societies about support for physical force tells a remarkably consistent—and shocking—story. As in previous research[25], the results show that significant minorities within both Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland (as well as within each of their respective religious communities) support the use of violence for political ends. There is perhaps no other advanced industrial society where such large numbers of people effectively condone
    terrorism. The explanations can be traced to the complex interaction between constitutional and extraconstitutional politics throughout Irish history, and to the successes of republicans in achieving political independence through the use of
    force and of unionists in securing exclusion from these new arrangements through the threat of force. For each community, the activities of contemporary paramilitary groups resonate with the iconographic figures of their history. Perhaps more pertinently, the message learned from Irish history is that the use of physical force does bring political gains, a fact that has not been lost on constitutional politicians."
