Any time there is an attack on civilians in the post-9/11 West, demagogues immediately blame it on Muslims. They frequently lack evidence, but depend on the blunt force of anti-Muslim bigotry to bolster their accusations.
Actual evidence, on the other hand, shows that less than two percent of terrorist attacks from 2009 to 2013 in the E.U. were religiously motivated. In 2013, just one percent of the 152 terrorist attacks were religious in nature; in 2012, less than three percent of the 219 terrorist attacks were inspired by religion.
The vast majority of terrorist attacks in these years were motivated by ethno-nationalism or separatism. In 2013, 55 percent of terrorist attacks were ethno-nationalist or separatist in nature; in 2012, more than three-quarters (76 percent) of terrorist attacks were inspired by ethno-nationalism or separatism.
These facts, nonetheless, have never stopped the prejudiced pundits from insisting otherwise.
On Friday the 13th of November, militants massacred at least 127 people in Paris in a series of heinous attacks.

It’s okay to throw Islam out.
It’s all bathwater and no baby.

I guess I’m supposed to believe that it’s every bit as likely to be perpetrated by a rogue cell of militant Red Hat Ladies.

What a load of excrement. The author keeps citing attacks motivated by “ethnocentrism” but offers not one single example of said enthocentric motivated “terrorist” attacks except for some lame link about 60 attacks against muslims after Charlie Hebdo.
How many fatalities in those “terrorist” attacks? Or was it just some self-righteous Allahu Ackbar idiot getting a fat lip that constituted terrorism?
The author provides no REAL examples because he knows they won’t stand up to scrutiny.
I’m waiting for the revelation that these were “moderate” terrorists armed and financed by Barack and Hillary.
Most Muslims aren’t terrorists, but most terrorists are Muslims. Prove me wrong liberal apologists.
I suspect the real figure is over 90%.
You know that anything written by “Salon” is utter garbage, right?
I was just listening to Christine Anapour on CNN being interviewed and she was saying “this is not going to stop until Assad is defeated in Syria”.
Serious? He has anything to do with this?
Salon...What percentage of Amish murder, shoot and behead? And if THEIR Bible said they SHOULD...you would be first in line for laws to put them in camps.
Leftists are beyond insane, huh?
The dead aren’t even out of the stadium and this little dishrag is making excuses for their murderers.
And God said I will send them a powerful delusion
My guess is that we will know very soon.
Of course it is. We aren’t importing ‘assimlators’ we’re directly importing disaster. This whateverheisPresident (not a Christian) is hell bent for leather in destroying us.
I suspect by "terrorist acts" the light in the loafers crowd at the Salon includes cross looks and disparaging comments made on the Internet. Or even worse, terrorizing twits on Twitter.
Worldwide the statistics are clear.
Which is OK by me...except that, first, they'll get the rest of us killed.
He looks like he would be one of those "Dancing Boys" of Afghanistan, if you catch my drift.
All I can hope for is that the devils hit this fools workplace next.
