    Incredible what short memories some people have.

    Genocide committed by Christians on Muslims 21 years ago in Srebrenica.

    Justice (to a degree) finally for this monster:

    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!!!

    This diagram show the number of deaths from terrorism in Europe since the 1970's

    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

    • 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

    @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

    One of my co-worker was at the american airline desk when the bomb exploded.
    Everybody behind him on the line are dead.
    He miraculously avoided the blast while reaching for his passport. Still, he was first in the line with his 3 years old and his wife.
    The baby got stitches on his head due to ceiling collapse.
    For the moment he is deaf and in shock.
    He never travel, for once , he decided to take his familly in vacation....

    These kinds of lone wolf attacks, as tragic as they are, are not much worse than everyday criminal violence in terms of the casualties. The true danger is if one of these groups gets their hands on a dirty bomb, biological weapon or nuclear weapon.

    The human race is still in its primitive stage of development.

    Animals. With a little more brainpower than other species.

    But all in all, animals in the jungle, attacking each other.

    Main goal: survival.

    Until we evolve into a higher spiritual state of individual and collective being, death & terror caused by one human onto another will perpetuate.

    It's just life as we know it. Another day in the jungle.

    • oh how easy to be so rational when one of your family members hasn't been blown to pieces... but yes true.fadein11

    • @pr2 no, it does not mean fear of irrational. Also, I never mentioned or alluded to rational/irrational. I spoke of spiritual enlightenment. You don't follow.chukkaphob
