Islamophobes have been popularizing the claim that “not all Muslims are terrorists, but (nearly) all terrorists are Muslims.” Despite this idea becoming axiomatic in some circles, it is quite simply not factual. In my previous article entitled “All Terrorists are Muslims…Except the 94% that Aren’t”, I used official FBI records to show that only 6% of terrorist attacks on U.S. soil from 1980 to 2005 were carried out by Islamic extremists. The remaining 94% were from other groups (42% from Latinos, 24% from extreme left wing groups, 7% from extremist Jews, 5% from communists, and 16% from all other groups).

The world has seen the reaction of Muslims the world over hours after 9/11. Pakistanis were out in the streets burning US flags when US troops were getting ready to kick the crap out of Afghan Taliban backed by Pakistan. Pakistanis we know became ever so cocky and started boasting how they are going to teach us all Non Muslims some hard lessons and promising more 9/11s in the pipe line.It is also on record how they promised thousands of body bags to US if they dared go to Afghanistan. These were the 94% who made a U turn once they realized how hard they can be kicked and changed their tune to how mis under stood Islam is because of the anti Muslim propaganda by the Media.
I said the same thing about americans in a question, just recently
TSA insults and tresspasses against americans with body scanners and groping pat-downs as though everyone was a terrorist. when actually, maybe 1/3 are criminals, but not enemy combatants.
yet the government violates the american constitution and bill of rights on every "word".
I would say The Governments and FBI and Cia are the terrorists, both domestic enemies and world wide terrorists.
after vewing the video file about 5 False flag terrorist actions, conducted by ONE american President and ONE Nazi German leader, i realized that propaganda is evil NO matter What country does the bombing.

conclusion: its not the average citizen of the world that is a terrorist, its the politicians and satan worshippers that are the terrorists.
The main fact however is that islamic extremists carry out the most influental, largest scale, and deadliest attacks on the US. They are a huge political influence and problem in the middle east. Although I believe their modern "causes" for aggression are fake and hollow. The historical roots of their anger are good reasoning in my mind to be.
If you look world-wide during the period from 1990-to present, 75-90% terrorists are in fact Islamic.
It's not a "phobia"....just because disagree, dislike something or someone.
With that way of thinking, you can say Islamics have Atheistphobia, Jewishphobia, and Christianphobia.
there would be a very small number which would be classed as terrorists , with 1 billion world wide
10% of muslims= 100 million there would not be that many
1% of muslims = 10 million, still to many
see what i'm getting at, the number is miniscule
People who are intellectually lazy don't like to go into the details. They form their opinion about Muslims on the basis of sensational headlines of biased news reports.
They completely forget about Electronic terrorism
Electronic terrorism isn't carried out by a Muslim majority -_-
Latinos?! Really?
I expected really religious rednecks like that one guy from the oklahoma city bombing and all those incidents where they blew up abortion clinics.
You used official FBI records??? Show me that website, and I will believe you.....
Because muslim terrorists are the scapegoats being used to push the christian agenda up our asses.
