    The Fox News link is hilarious. Sean Hannity, what a joke of a man. Canada comes out today and says that the gun attack on the Canadian Parliament wasn't related to Islamic extremism. We have two lone wolves. Yet to listen to the hyperbole on that show you'd believe that not only was the Canadian parliamentary attack a example of global Jihad, but that the the great oncoming storm of Islam is going to be commiting routine and mass atrocities in malls, subways and God knows what else. I mean seriously, it's an absurd level of fearmongering.

    By all means let's investigate Western citizens who are getting indoctrinated into extremism on the internet and lets not ignore it, but this hysterical fearmongering is what gets you Americans a bad name in the world. Where is the fearmongering over the countless white Americans who commit violence in the name of nazism? What about the Klan? What about the nutcase who massacred peaceful Sikh-Americans last year because they weren't white enough? Where is the fear mongering for those extremists?

    30 years is all it's taken to swap Russians for another bogeyman.

    You know what I fear? Dumbasses who deny the existence of the threat because they're afraid of appearing non-PC. What's that saying about a frog being slowly boiled to death? The recent OKC beheading was committed by some Islamic nutcase, yet the authorities have done all they can to bury that fact by referring to the attack with neutral, sanitized language like "workplace violence."

    Funny you mention Nazis - what did we do with nazis? We shot them or hanged them.

    Another instance of one-man terrorism.....

    Canada and America do not want to admit that this is Islamic extremism.

    But it is. All these people are attacking others because of their Islamic extremism. Most of them have contact with others overseas and those others pump them up to act.

    These fanatics believe they are going to heaven for killing infidels.

    I have to admit (and especially after this nasty week in Canada) I'm getting pretty tired of hearing things like, "the majority of Muslims are peaceful people who just want to live their lives."

    Well, duh. Of course of that's true.

    It's the fucking wackaloon minority that worries me.

    Why can't we have the rational discussion about why this particular religion currently seems to attract the violent nutters more so than any other? Any conversation that starts about this issue immediately devolves into a blame game, name-calling, bigotry, finger-pointing, etc. etc. etc.

    That makes what, 3 or 4 attacks in the space of a working week?

    I do wonder sometimes just how many of these attacks will have to happen before the politically correct official mantra that "Islam is a Religion of Peace, this had nothing to do with Islam" is finally thrown to the wayside as the preposterous falsehood it is.

    If you look at the proportion of non-Islamic attacks on police, you'd see it's far more a case of Teh Police Ur teh Suck than anything else.

    I think the "terrorism" angle comes from this: his facebook page indicates he is a freelance self-radicalized terrorist.
    But he didn't terrorize anyone except the two guys he attacked, and was killed in the process.
    Word around the campfire is home-grown terrorists say this will happen every week.
    Really? More people die from car wrecks every day than lone-wolf terrorists can ever take out.
    Don't these lone wolf terrorists have any math skills?

    Why? Because that's a distraction to focus on a man's religion rather than his psyche. Mutters, with easy access to weaponry, that's the issue, boiled down to its core.

    Back in the day a hatchet (or maybe a tomahawk) was the shit! Sadly it's "rate of fire" pales in comparison
    to modern firearms. But still - the guy had some chutzpa!

    You're retarded.

    The man attacked them because he was a radicalized religious Islamic fanatic.

    Just like the guy in Canada who ran over the soldiers.

    Just like the guy in Canada who shot the solider and then tried to shoot up Parliament.

    Just like the guy in America who attacked his coworker and cut her head off and tried to kill another.

    Just like the guy in the United Kingdom who stabbed the solider to death.

    Just like the guy who shot up an American Army base.

    Just like the guy who killed two people for being Coptic Christians. (happened in America)

    Just like the guy who killed his daughter because she was too Westernized. (happened in America)

    Just like the guy who killed his two daughters for dating non-Muslims. (happened in America)

    Just like the guy who cut off his wife head because she filed for divorce. Ironically this idiot started a TV station dedicated to fighting negative sterotypes of Muslims/Islam.

    Just like the guy who drove his car into a group of Americans in an attempt to kill them for revenge over the US action in the Middle East.

    Just like the guy who shot a woman and wounded five others because out of revenge for Iraq.

    Just like the guy who killed an Army solider at a recruiting station.

    They all have one thing in common: Islam.

    At least the NYPD is the first government agency that I know of in the United States that is calling the ax man a terrorist incident.

    They were exceptional.

    I read they only wounded one bystander and they killed the actual bad guy. :salute:

    So... you've managed to dredge up 12 particularly violent crimes by Muslims, in a field of how many violent crimes total during the same period of time? Any idea what the percentage of violent crimes committed by Muslims compares to their overall percentage in the population?

    I'm not sure the numbers, but I highly doubt that the total number of people who associate themselves as Nazis or the KKK come close to the numbers that are Muslim extremists. They also haven't been relevant nor effective since the last century. Those are very poor equivelencies.

    Wrong question. The question is:

    Of the violent crimes committed by religious fanatics who hate the West, what percentage involved Islam?

    If Zombie wasn't so lazy he could make a much, much longer list of crimes committed by people who claim to be Christians but for some reason he doesn't want to attribute those criminal actions to their religion though. He DOES want to claim wvery crime committed by a person who happens to be Muslim as being thw fault of their religion. The fact is some are but most aren't.
