Tommy we both know it's a waste of time. They don't want facts or knowledge. That would make them actually reflect on their core beliefs. Best to put your head in the sand. Interesting factoid. History Majors Are Becoming a Thing of the Past, Except in the Ivy LeagueDespite several terrorist attacks people in Europe do not live in fear. Terror attacks have been a sad part of our lives since the 60s.But of course!!!
Nice to have the rights and wrongs in the world all figured out your way, isn't it?
Some people do lose it (unjustified, granted) when the attacks and hatred and crimes against us "infidels" mount day after day. This is the unfortunate result of that, i.e., some do go over the deep end. Is that the same excuse we can make for angry Muslims in Europe who mount massive killings time and again?
"Time and again". Quaint phrase innit.
Here's some time and again for ya.
>> So here are some statistics for those interested. Let’s start with Europe. Want to guess what percent of the terrorist attacks there were committed by Muslims over the past five years? Wrong. That is, unless you said less than 2 percent.And of course specific to the US we've been noting this for literally years: All Terrorists are Muslim -- Except for the 94% that Aren't
As Europol, the European Union’s law-enforcement agency, noted in its report released last year, the vast majority of terror attacks in Europe were perpetrated by separatist groups. For example, in 2013, there were 152 terror attacks in Europe. Only two of them were “religiously motivated,” while 84 were predicated upon ethno-nationalist or separatist beliefs.
We are talking about groups like France’s FLNC, which advocates an independent nation for the island of Corsica. In December 2013, FLNC terrorists carried out simultaneous rocket attacks against police stations in two French cities. And in Greece in late 2013, the left-wing Militant Popular Revolutionary Forces shot and killed two members of the right-wing political party Golden Dawn. While over in Italy, the anarchist group FAI engaged in numerous terror attacks including sending a bomb to a journalist. And the list goes on and on.
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.
Even after one of the worst terror attacks ever in Europe in 2011, when Anders Breivik slaughtered 77 people in Norway to further his anti-Muslim, anti-immigrant, and pro-“Christian Europe” agenda as he stated in his manifesto, how much press did we see in the United States? Yes, it was covered, but not the way we see when a Muslim terrorist is involved. Plus we didn’t see terrorism experts fill the cable news sphere asking how we can stop future Christian terrorists. In fact, even the suggestion that Breivik was a “Christian terrorist” was met with outrage by many, including Fox News’s Bill O’Reilly.
Have you heard about the Buddhist terrorists? Well, extremist Buddhists have killed many Muslim civilians in Burma, and just a few months ago in Sri Lanka, some went on a violent rampage burning down Muslim homes and businesses and slaughtering four Muslims.
Or what about the (dare I mention them) Jewish terrorists? Per the 2013 State Department’s report on terrorism, there were 399 acts of terror committed by Israeli settlers in what are known as “price tag” attacks. These Jewish terrorists attacked Palestinian civilians causing physical injuries to 93 of them and also vandalized scores of mosques and Christian churches. << --- Are All Terrorists Muslims? It's Not Even Close
So why the fake news impressions? One answer is 9/11, or as Rump calls it, "Seven Eleven". The other is back in the first link:
>> But our media simply do not cover the non-Muslim terror attacks with same gusto. Why? It’s a business decision. Stories about scary “others” play better. It’s a story that can simply be framed as good versus evil with Americans being the good guy and the brown Muslim as the bad.And yet --- we have wags walking among us, here in this thread, who buy the whole media manipulation game hook, line and sinker.
Honestly, when is the last time we heard the media refer to those who attack abortion clinics as “Christian terrorists,” even though these attacks occur at one of every five reproductive health-care facilities? That doesn’t sell as well. After all we are a so-called Christian nation, so that would require us to look at the enemy within our country, and that makes many uncomfortable. Or worse, it makes them change the channel.
That’s the same reason we don’t see many stories about how to reduce the 30 Americans killed each day by gun violence or the three women per day killed by domestic violence. But the media will have on expert after expert discussing how can we stop these scary brown Muslims from killing any more Americans despite the fact you actually have a better chance of being killed by a refrigerator falling on you.
... In fact in 2013, it was actually more likely Americans would be killed by a toddler than a terrorist. In that year, three Americans were killed in the Boston Marathon bombing. How many people did toddlers kill in 2013? Five, all by accidentally shooting a gun. <<
If that is how you render justice, then feel exonerated. I will not exchange accounts with you to present my case why yours is lame. Islamic aggression on humanity has been a terror since the 7th century. Count the thousands of battles they have been engaged in. See how nations were conquered and then many converted by the sword or completely oppressed in countless ways. Then when they come to Europe I am not looking for a body count, although if you go to List of Islamic Terror Attacks in Europe you can see all of attacks of violence where some or many were murdered by unwarranted crazed attacks zealots in the name of Allah, muhammad or the Koran. Many more than we read about.
But the point is mostly this; Europe lives in fear because of Islamic anger and intolerance in their midst. Women live in fear in many places because of the liberties Islamic men take. There have been enough major mass explosions and attacks where nothing can any longer be taken for granted. We do not live like that in the USA in fear of right wing extremist cells. We do not feel their hate in their presence or their verbage. There is no comparison to the size of the menace or threat between the two.
And yet despite this Europe is a lot safer than the US. A hell of a lot safer. Perhaps you should visit and stop parroting shite.
