I've seen long lists of Muslim murders in this country. I'm not going to make or retrieve a list now. But, off the top of my head, I remember the LAX airport shootings by a Muslim. It was at the Jewish airline booth. There was also the DC sniper, who was Muslim. There are more mass murders by Muslims in this country that are not on the list you provided. The Trolley Square Mall shooting, on your list, was done by a Muslim, but it does not say so. That might apply to other cases on that list.
It is easy to get a faulty impression because the press does their best to cover up the Muslim connection. Most press reports simply omitted the Muslim identity in the the Trolley Square case. They certainly downplayed it with the Beltway sniper. In the case of the Fort Hood shootings, NBC and CBS nightly news reports, as of Thursday, did not mention that the murderer was Muslim. In the case of the shoe bomber, the press covered up his Muslim connection for many days, perhaps weeks. I first learned that he was Muslim from Ann Coulter. Kudos to Ann. Then it was reported by many sources.
This is an excerpt from a good article:
“Prior to 2009, there have been at least 20 terrorist plots broken up after September 11, 2001—aimed at subways, malls, military bases, airports, bridges, and synagogues. Those foiled cabals are in addition to more common scattered murdering by freelancing angry killers, who in some very general way either evoked radical Islam, their own faith, the Palestinian cause, al-Qaedistic Islamism, or solidarity with worldwide Islam (from the Beltway sniper to the UNC and the San Francisco car murderers), and a number of lethal attacks on Jewish centers and temples resulting in numerous deaths (from the LAX attacks to the San Francisco and Seattle shootings).
In 2002, long ago, I wrote an article in which I called this al Qaedism and updated it with more recent examples in 2007.
In this year alone, aside from the recent mass murdering at Ft. Hood, there have been four more terrorist plots uncovered. Colorado resident Najibullah Zazi was recently indicted for conspiring to use explosives in the U.S., apparently as part of a plot to let off a bomb in New York on the anniversary of 9/11. In addition, North Carolina residents Daniel Patrick Boyd and Hysen Sherifi were arrested and charged with conspiring to murder U.S. military personnel at Quantico, Virginia. In Texas, Hosam Maher Husein Smadi—a 19-year-old Jordanian citizen who was in the U.S. illegally—was arrested and charged after he placed a would-be bomb near Fountain Place, a 60-story office tower in downtown Dallas.
Most recently in Boston, a Massachusetts man was arrested in connection with terrorist plots that included attacks on U.S. shopping malls and on two White House officials. Tarek Mehanna, 27, of Sudbury, Mass, was charged with plotting with other terrorists from 2001 to May 2008 to carry out overseas and domestic terrorist attacks— including killing shoppers and first responders at malls.”

Oh..., I can look up that “terrorist list” of all terrorist attacks all over the globe, if that’s what you’re talking about. It a fairly comprehensive list. But, I already know about the Islamic terrorist threat and what they’ve done.
BUT, in this list that I copied and if it were expanded by Freepers, what we’re talking about here — are “mass shootings” — where someone (terrorist or disgruntled employee or crazy guy or some loon or whatever) goes out and shoots up a group of people (for whatever crazy reason he has [whether it’s a religious-crazy or plain-crazy..., whatever it may be).
So, terrorist attacks are one thing and mass shootings in our society (of which that list represents it) are another thing.
And in that list, I know that people would have a tendancy to put in another group of shootings that I wouldn’t categorize under this public mass shooting. That group is a family killing, where one member of the family takes out the whole family and then kills themselves or surrenders. That’s of another category altogether.
Yesterday’s “mass shooting” I would put in that “public mass shooting” list, too — but as Islamic-terror motivated, while today’s mass shooting as a crazy/disgruntled and nutso-guy acting insanely.
So, you could get three lists going here. One of those lists is already compiled and is quite complete. The Islamic terrorist list of attacks is already compiled, up-to-date and quite complete and goes back for many years.
The other list is the public mass shootings. And then you could put together another list of “private mass shootings/killings” (where the people are related).
Say..., can we get a government grant on these studies? ... LOL...
