a look at terrorism..

a look at terrorism.. and what is absent on this left-wing universities loons chart..

Princeton University’s Loon Watch compiled the following chart from the FBI’s data
Terrorism+Pie+Chart.jpg

Loonwatch.com is a blogzine run by a motley group of hate-allergic bloggers to monitor and expose the web’s plethora of anti-Muslim loons, wackos, and conspiracy theorists.

and what is the critique of it..

As Loonwatch puts it:

Only 6% of terror attacks are by Muslims
7% of terrorism is by Jewish extremists
66% of terror attacks are by leftists and Latinos

This would appear to defy common sense. Reports of bombings, shootings, stabbings and even beheadings by terrorists cross the newswire each day. Some are indeed the work of communist groups or nationalists, but the vast majority are clearly the product of Islamic extremists who kill in the name of religion.

Loonwatch is playing a couple of tricks here - the biggest being that they are drawing on domestic data only. In other words, when they say that 94% of terrorists aren't Muslim, they actually mean in the United States, where terror attacks are relatively rare and Muslims make up only 1% of the population.

So, if we ignore the overwhelming bulk of attacks across the globe, Muslims are "only" six times more likely to commit acts of terror than the general population.

for example, it somehow omits the Arizona assassination of a Sunni cleric by Iranian terrorists in 1980, the 1990 murder of Rabbi Kahane by an Islamic radical at a New York hotel, and even the killing of two CIA agents by a Muslim extremist at Langley in 1993.

or the Fort Hood workplace violence..


Even by the FBI’s curious standard, the sort of truly violent terrorism that most concerns Americans is extremely rare in the United States. Only 29 attacks on their list of incidents between 1980 and 2005 resulted in actual death. Of these, Islamic extremists were responsible for 24%, accounting for 2,981 kills, while non-Muslim attackers racked up 196.
Thus, what the FBI report is really saying is that a demographic which makes up only 1% of the American population accounts for one-fourth of all deadly terror attacks in the U.S. and 94% of related casualties!

Since 2005, there have been at least six additional deadly attacks that would probably qualify as terrorism in the U.S. even to the FBI.

This means that since 1980, Muslims in the U.S. have been 35 times more likely to commit terror than all other demographics combined.

so in reality in an effort to show Islam is the religion of peace they under-reported their role in domestic terrorism.. alot..

but why would a Princeton loon watch not report right-wing terrorism.. especially after seeing all the effort the federal goverment is wasting watching them people.. maybe they aren't the real threat..
