In an fascinating exercise in selective data use, the Huffington Post has published a remarkable essay suggesting that the vast majority of terrorists have nothing to do with Islam and that Islam itself has nothing to do with encouraging violence.
In his article Monday, "Is Islam Really the Religion of Violence? Here Are the Facts," Saudi-born writer Hanzala Bin Aman tiptoes through an FBI study on terrorism to cull the statistics that seem to justify his thesis that Islamic terrorism only makes up a tiny percentage of all terrorist acts, and therefore shouldn't be singled out as a source of particular concern.
For example, Aman declares that a mere 6% of all terrorist attacks on US soil between 1980 and 2012 were carried out by Muslims. What he fails to mention is that 94% of the deaths due to terrorist acts in the United States during the same period were carried out by Islamic terrorists. The FBI data include a series of amateurish acts of "terror" that claimed no lives and produced very little in the way of terror because of their ineffectiveness, whereas several of the Muslim attacks--notably 9/11--were absolutely devastating.

Yes. It’s in their mayhem manual.
1,400 years of unremitting psychopathic violence murdering
tens of millions of people isn’t evidence of anything! /s
Yes. Anything else I can answer?
Well,,,, here’s a view some may find interesting! My BIL was born and raised in Turkey. He came here to the University of Michigan to study Mechanical engineering. He has built a solid company that makes special tooling for the aero-space industry. He’s a proud American. Bot religious at all, but still loves his homeland. He hates Erdogan.
Several years ago, I brought up the topic of terrorism and jihadis. He went ballistic! _John, they are criminal scum, hiding behind Islam. They all should be killed!- I don’t talk to him about that subject anymore because it upsets his Mediterranean too much. He’s been a wonderful husband and a great father. He hates terrorists!
It’s a religion for raiders
Ask Mohammed.
It’s estimated that 20% of the mooslim population are extremists. So that’s 300M nut jobs waiting to cut off a head. The other 80% are just waiting for orders. Besides, Islam isn’t religion, it’s a twisted, violent ideology.
If 1,500,000,000 people were violent, that day would not be approaching; it would have already arrived.
Well put!

Nope, no pattern here says HuffPo.
So what are you saying - Sharia has no chance of being implemented in North America??
BTW it doesn’t matter if it’s not 100% of them being violent, just a significant percentage is enough to be a threat ... 100% of Germans in WWII weren’t Nazis, doesn’t mean we didn’t see a real menace and fight them all
Running a distant second to islamist terrorists are the leftist terrorists.
When I think of peaceful religions, I think of Buddhist monks wearing their robes and sweeping the ground in front of them so as not to accidentally tread on insects.
Trump is a conman who forgets his lines. This has nothing to do with Islam.
anti effort mentality + feelings > reality + fantasies > reality + stuck on stupid = evasion
