94% of US and 98% of European terror attacks done by non-Muslims

Who is 'people?' Outside of groups like the EDL, almost nobody blames all Muslims for terror attacks. It's remarkable that you make a point against a foolish generalisation by making one yourself.



Nobel prizes mean almost nothing on this subject, and that goes both ways, e.g. Richard Dawkins's tweet using a similar reasoning for the opposite conclusion was fallacious on many counts.

The peace prize especially is of no value - Henry Kissinger has one, for Christ's sake, as do a number of others who've done nothing directly related to peace.



And the same to you.

Between 1980 and 2005 you nutsack. Now its roughly 80% radical islamic, with the top groups being Boko Haram, ISIS and the Communists in Columbia.

In other words, the Huffington post is being intellectually dishonest.

Article written by a guy called Omar, shocking stuff!

But the elephant in the room (which is a hate fact) is that muslims account for only 1% of the US population, but disproportionately represented in acts of terrorism.

This is very thought provoking, actually. I didn't know it was so low.

No need to insult me when I haven't insulted you. Where is your source for the 80% statistic?

Either way, the point I was making was that Muslims are generally so far from being terrorists that all the anger and all the anti-Muslim sentiment is unjustified. Terrorism is as much our enemy as it is yours. I'm sure that you agree. Thank you for your comment.

Yes his name is Omar, and your point is?

We can't continue to blame an entire community of 1.6 billion people for the acts of a dozen or so people. If we want to tackle terror attacks, all communities need to get involved, not just Muslims.

And yet people still blame Muslims when the vast majority of us are less likely to commit terror attacks than other groups. If the Islamophobes actually cared about stopping deaths rather than bashing Muslims they would talk about the threat of white-supremacist attacks instead!

And also, if you can blame an entire group of 1.6 billion people as terrorists, you can also label us as peacemakers since 5 of the last 12 Nobel Peace Prize winners have been Muslims.

Gives you something to think about. Love for all, hatred for none. Hope you guys all have a wonderful day.

I think you should have read the article before posting it, because that's blatant intellectual dishonesty on the part of HuffPo.

The Huffington Post is a far-left clickbait rag. Of course they're going to manipulate statistics to massively downplay the violent nature of the Islamists. Tell me, leftie liberals - when was the last time a white man deliberately rammed a truck into a group of innocent citizens? When was the last time a white man opened fire in a busy nightclub? You need to stop painting Islamists as heroes and white men as the enemy.

On the seventh page it says:
"Islamic fundamentalism was not the main cause of terrorism in the West over the last nine years. Eighty per cent of deaths by lone wolf terrorists in the West were driven by right wing extremism, nationalism, anti- government sentiment and political extremism and other forms of supremacy"

The fact that someone like Donald Trump won

The U.S. election wasn't a referendum on Muslims. You should really read beyond the headlines...

Not to mention the system by which the president is elected effectively disenfranchises most people; even so, Trump lost the popular vote by quite a margin. So this point doesn't really stand.



You have more of a point here. Many French Muslims do indeed have a lot of resentment for Muslims. However, you ignore that France, having suffered as many major terror attacks as it has, is not representative of all non-Muslims (something which really ought to be obvious anyway).



Anti-Islam sentiment is one thing, but the claim here is that 'people' blame all Muslims for terrorism. That doesn't follow from anti-Islam sentiment alone, which is itself often no more than a general opposition to organised religion.

Muslims too are for the most part anti-every other religion in the sense that they don't think they're true and would not like them to increase in influence at the expense of Islam, so I don't really get why this accusation is thrown around as if it's some appalling sin to be opposed to Islam.

Terrorism is, according to the oxford dictionary, 'The unlawful use of violence and intimidation, especially against civilians, in the pursuit of political aims'. A gang shooting is not for political aims, a school shooting is not for political aims. Killing civilians to establish a Caliphate or implement Sharia law is a political aim.
