The point of the thread is not to diss muslims, but to inventory attacks with an eye toward promoting and defending right to carry laws. In 14 attacks, 28 people were killed. 43 people were injured, but survived. One attacker botched a bombing, so we are unable to guess how many people he wanted to murder.

What we have here is the recognition of a crime trend that has occured all over the country. I posted the thread to call attention to the problem and to provide facts for people who are fighting with governments over right to carry laws, as I stated in the first two posts.

Since you assumed that the article was posted to 'dis' muslims, I went back and read it. There was nothing in there that could be called a 'dis.' I did find one crude and insulting post in the thread. It was post #54.

I do appreciate the inventory. Facts are facts, and should be known and considered.

The "dis" that concerned me was "If even a single percent of that population is motivated". Given that the inventory lists only 13 in 10 years, we're looking at a conceptual jump from about 0.00001% to 1%, which has no justification but fear and/or bigotry.

If we compared other similar crimes, we'd find about the same "trend" there. White male agnostic teens are following a similar pattern in schools.

There is a viable concern, but it is not rooted in these statistics.
