[quote=Muslima][quote=Anonymous]Muslima, everything changed on 9/11.  Check out the stats since then.[/quote]
9/11 happened in 2001. The FBI numbers are for terrorism from 1980 to 2005, that includes 9/11.

But here another article for you.  I know it's shocking for some to accept that Muslims have not committed the most terror acts on US soil or in Europe since the narrative that has emerged since 9/11 is that terror=islam.

Here are more recent numbers for you from a CNN study:

[quote]There have been 10 deadly attacks in the United States by nonjihadist extremists since 9/11 compared to just four by jihadists. (One of those incidents was at Fort Hood, Texas, in 2009 in which 13 were killed.)

The New America Foundation study suggests that law enforcement's tendency to regard Muslim-American communities as the most likely source of terrorism risks missing the threat from other extremists.[/quote]

[quote]
Additionally, the New America Foundation found that no jihadist terrorists have acquired or even attempted to acquire chemical and biological weapons since 9/11, while 11 anarchist, white supremacist or right-wing extremists have been indicted for possessing such materials, and another four were indicted for attempting to produce them.

Some politicians and much of the public continue to believe that the threat from terrorists comes from violent jihadists, when in reality far-right extremists pose as much or possibly even more of a threat, something that we would do well to consider on the 11th anniversary of 9/11.

My point was from the beginning that Muslims have not been responsible for most terror acts in the US, but whenever a Muslim is responsible for one,  everybody starts talking about the" religion of terror" while other acts committed by members of other religions are not associated to their faith. I will say it one more time to the risk of sounding unpatriotic, the US government's foreign policy is one of the major reason for militancy in the Middle-East.  As an American,  I'm not afraid to say that , our foreign policy is wrong,  among other things, we support insurgent groups in those regions  and provide them with weapons when they are in line with our interests. And as a Muslim, I'm not afraid to say, fanaticism in those regions has increased to fight the West that they see as their enemy. Why? They don't just wake up one morning and say "hey let's go bomb the infidels" They think every American citizen approves of this foreign policy and supports the atrocities happening there, what they don't know is that the average American could probably not even locate them on a map. These are over zealous kids, young men and teens who for the most part have zero aqueedah, a very basic understanding of Islam, are not students of knowledge or scholars but think they can rule the world. They talk the good speech to people who are probably oppressed, don't have a job, don't have anything to lose, depressed and think wow they did this to me. They use beautiful words to rally people to their causes.  Bin Laden wasn't a student of knowledge, he is self-taught, very basic understanding of Islam and think his purpose is to revolutionize the world. These groups kill Muslims, they kills Non Muslims, they don't care. You will never see someone who has an understanding of Islam, aqueedah, tassawouf, who studied the laws and jurisprudence of Islam, leading these groups, never. Because that is contrary to everything this religion is and aspires to be. Spilling innocent civilian blood is never ever okay in Islam, never and these people will have to answer to their Lord about that.  This is fanaticism at its best !
