    Default Muslim Terrorist Attack Deaths in the U.S.

    http://www.thereligionofpeace.com/pa...canattacks.htm

    Number of Muslim Terrorist Attack Deaths in the U.S.
    With the hype going on about Islam I just wanted to get some reality on the numbers.
    These numbers are from a site that included muslim husbands killing wives because of islam and the like as well as terrorist attacks so it's not narrow.

    02' = 18
    03' = 1
    04' = 1
    05' = 0
    06' = 3
    07' = 0
    08' = 3
    09' = 19
    10' = 5
    11' = 4
    12' = 2
    13' = 6
    14' = 7
    15' = 14

    So that's near one hundred murders.
    That's 100 to many but is it a multi-Billion dollar, Top Priority, Top of Mind, Daily Fear, mistrust ALL Muslims concern?
    Same with the "assault rifles" gun fears.




    this is the reality check.
    I ran into this as well.

    Non-Muslims Carried Out More than 90% of All Terrorist Attacks in America

    An FBI report shows that only a small percentage of terrorist attacks carried out on U.S. soil between 1980 and 2005 were perpetrated by Muslims.





    Terrorist Attacks on U.S. Soil by Group, From 1980 to 2005, According to FBI Database
    According to this data, there were more Jewish acts of terrorism within the United States than Islamic (7% vs 6%). These radical Jews committed acts of terrorism in the name of their religion. These were not terrorists who happened to be Jews; rather, they were extremist Jews who committed acts of terrorism based on their religious passions, just like Al-Qaeda and company.
    (Loon Watch also notes that less than 1% of terror attacks in Europe were carried out by Muslims.)U.S. News and World Report noted in February of this year:
    Of the more than 300 American deaths from political violence and mass shootings since 9/11, only 33 have come at the hands of Muslim-Americans, according to the Triangle Center on Terrorism and Homeland Security. The Muslim-American suspects or perpetrators in these or other attempted attacks fit no demographic profile—only 51 of more than 200 are of Arabic ethnicity. In 2012, all but one of the nine Muslim-American terrorism plots uncovered were halted in early stages. That one, an attempted bombing of a Social Security office in Arizona, caused no casualties.
    Wired reported the same month:
    Since 9/11, [Charles Kurzman, Professor of Sociology at University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, writing for the Triangle Center on Terrorism and National Security] and his team tallies, 33 Americans have died as a result of terrorism launched by their Muslim neighbors. During that period, 180,000 Americans were murdered for reasons unrelated to terrorism. In just the past year, the mass shootings that have captivated America’s attention killed 66 Americans, “twice as many fatalities as from Muslim-American terrorism in all 11 years since 9/11,” notes Kurzman’s team.
    Law enforcement, including “informants and undercover agents,” were involved in “almost all of the Muslim-American terrorism plots uncovered in 2012,” the Triangle team finds. That’s in keeping with the FBI’s recent practice of using undercover or double agents to encourage would-be terrorists to act on their violent desires and arresting them when they do — a practice critics say comes perilously close to entrapment. A difference in 2012 observed by Triangle: with the exception of the Arizona attack, all the alleged plots involving U.S. Muslims were “discovered and disrupted at an early stage,” while in the past three years, law enforcement often observed the incubating terror initiatives “after weapons or explosives had already been gathered.”
    The sample of Muslim Americans turning to terror is “vanishingly small,” Kurzman tells Danger Room. Measuring the U.S. Muslim population is a famously inexact science, since census data don’t track religion, but rather “country of origin,” which researchers attempt to use as a proxy. There are somewhere between 1.7 million and seven million American Muslims, by most estimates, and Kurzman says he operates off a model that presumes the lower end, a bit over 2 million. That’s less a rate of involvement in terrorism of less than 10 per million, down from a 2003 high of 40 per million, as detailed in the chart above.

    It is proper to take alarm at the first experiment on our liberties. The freeman of America did not wait till usurped power had strengthened itself by exercise, and entangled the question in precedents. James Madison
    Live as free people, yet without employing your freedom as a pretext for wickedness; but live at all times as servants of God.
