    I wasn't saying not to have gun control in Europe. There appears to be a great deal of success in preventing Petty crime, low level crime and accidents by limiting the flow of firearms. All I am saying is that someone that puts the time and effort in can get serious weaponry.

    Probably fair, but saying that most terrorists are Muslims also isn't likely even if there has been an increase.

    This is an article that talks about attacks since 9/11. Again Muslims still aren't the majority. The original statement I was commenting was incorrect.

    Different denominations.

    You get my point.

    It's tiring to hear the tired logic that Muslims and Islam are representative of terrorists.

    It's simply not true.

    There is a small group of extremists in every religion which could be called terrorists. Islam is a peaceful foundation, and I say that as a Christian.

    I guess we could call the LAPD and NYPD terrorists, too, huh? All of the African American men who have been murdered proves their terror-based agenda.:rolleyes:

    No, the majority of police are decent, but like any extremist sect, there are a few bad apples.

    It's sad that entertainment networks like Fox have perpetuated this myth of an entire religion being of a terrorist nature. That is a failure of logic and a gross misrepresentation of statistics.

    We're not going to agree. I'd rather live on the virtue of tolerance of religious differences.

    Peace.

    This is only in the USA. The other statistics you posted are completely false. You ignore the correct statistics and lists of incidents I posted. Just put your head back in the sand.

    Tell that to ISIS, Boko Haram, the Taliban, the Hizbollah, Hamas, Al Qaeda.

    Nobody is saying that all Muslims are terrorists. Don't put up a straw man.

    Your superficial "analysis" is completely wrong. There is a clear link between the ideology of political Islam and intolerance and terrorism.

    The 30 terrorist attacks by those bastards the Earth Liberation Front where no one was killed is really important to count equally to 9/11 and the 1993 NYC bombing though.

    I posted statistics for the U.S. and Europe. I didn't ignore anything you posted. They had to do with which attacks were the most deadly or whatever.

    That's another topic.

    I addressed a post that claimed that almost all the terrorists were Muslim. That isn't true. I posted evidence that proved that to be the case.

    You had an internet meltdown and accused me of lying making stuff up. None of that was true either. All I did was post statistics that had been published by other people.

    Please get a grip.

    Obviously it isn't. But if you post statistics which compare someone who throws a flower against a police station to 9/11 and count each as "one terror attack", then obviously your statistics are extremely flawed, and intentionally so.
