"The White House assures that tracking our every phone call and keystroke is to stop terrorists, and yet it won't snoop in mosques, where the terrorists are."

I am so glad that IBD/Robert Spencer/Pamela Geller/and the rest of the islamophobes have found "where the terrorists are".

Heck, instead of bugging the mosques, we should just gas them when the prayer call is answered...problem solved....right(wing)?

If that is how you want to handle it....... However most terrorists are Muslim, coincidence?

Excuse me for not taking the source as being very truthful and only sources I can find in a quick google search is right wing blogs.

True. But most Muslims aren't terrorists.

Basic logic.

Perhaps the majority of Muslims don't know their own religion too well.

That is how islamophobes would want to handle it

Most terrorism in the US....is perpetrated by.....

Trends in terrorism in the U.S.: New report analyzes terrorist attack data 1970-2011
The most common weapons used in the 207 terrorist attacks in the United States from 2001 to 2011 were incendiary devices and explosives, according to a new report from the National Consortium for the Study of Terrorism and Responses to Terrorism. For the entire duration covered by the study, 1970 to 2011, these two categories accounted for more than 81 percent of all the weapons used in the attacks. Incendiary devices accounted for more than half of all weapons used over the last decade, representing a large increase in the use of such weapons compared with the norm for the 1970 to 2011 time period. However, from 2001 to 2011, the use of explosives such as dynamite, grenades and “car bombs,” is markedly lower, accounting for only 20 percent of all weapons used compared with 52 percent for the entire sample from 1970 to 2011.

Firearms were used less often in terrorist attacks in the United States than they were in other parts of the world. In START’s Global Terrorism Database (GTD) as a whole, which currently includes information on more than 104,000 terrorist attacks from around the world, 38 percent of all of the weapons used in terrorist attacks between 1970 and 2011 were firearms while firearms represented about 13 percent of the weapons used in U.S. terrorist attacks for the same time period. In general, the most commonly used firearms involved readily available types, including shot guns and pistols.

The new report focuses on the U.S. segment of START’s GTD and describes trends at the country, state and city levels, among the 2,608 terrorist attacks occurring in the U.S. between 1970 and 2011. Throughout that time period, the frequency of terrorism has generally decreased drastically and fatal attacks are much less common than non-fatal attacks.

In focusing on the data on attacks occurring between 2001 and 2011, the authors found:
There were 21 fatal terrorist attacks in this time period.
Total attacks declined from a high of 40 in 2001 to nine in 2011.
From 2001 to 2011 California (40) and New York (19) experienced the most total terrorist attacks against the U.S. homeland.
The three cities in the United States that experienced the most attacks from 2001 to 2011 were New York City (12), Washington, DC (9) and Los Angeles (8).
The most common targets of terrorists in the U.S. during this time period were businesses (62 attacks), private citizens and property (59 attacks) and government (43 attacks).
The three terrorist organizations with the largest number of attacks on the U.S. homeland from 2001 to 2011 were the Earth Liberation Front (50), the Animal Liberation Front (34) and al-Qa’ida (4).

Ahh, cmon....there is nothing wrong with Robert Spencer and Pam Geller, they are fine examples of islamophobes.

Perhaps the majority of Muslims don't know their own religion too well.

Most Jews and Christians apparently do neither, else stoning to death would be the common punishment for not being a virgin on wedding night, wearing clothes made of different fabrics, or when nobody heard you crying for help when you were raped. Among other things.

Timothy McVeigh wasn't.

The Hutaree militia wasn't.

Neither do most adherents of any religion.

Clearly you haven't heard of the New Testament.

Did I say most American Terrorists? Nope.

 

[German guy]

Actually, I have.

Matthew 5:17 reads: ""Do not think that I have come to abolish the Law or the Prophets; I have not come to abolish them but to fulfill them."

 

[davidtaylorjr]

Matthew 5:17 reads: ""Do not think that I have come to abolish the Law or the Prophets; I have not come to abolish them but to fulfill them."

Yes, fulfilled, the law was fulfilled.

 

[German guy]

Yes, fulfilled, the law was fulfilled.

Good point. Though my general point was that not all members of a religion always follow all their religion's rules literally. And often, it's even a matter of interpretation what the respective scripture demands.

This is no different when it comes to Muslims, as it is in case of Jews and Christians.

He does not monitor his birth place either, there are no phones in Kenya.

Since the context is terrorism in the US, I posted who is responsible....yet you skipped over it.

I wonder why?

 

[zgoldsmith23]

Yes, fulfilled, the law was fulfilled.

Yeah, like slavery and all that. Oh wait...

I didn't skip over everything. Both Boston Bombers were Muslim, and let's not forget the almost 2 dozen in 9/11, that would pretty much turnover your quote.

If you want to show US terrorist activity based upon religious motivation, then go ahead and dig up this data to support your argument.

I'll wait.

You are kidding right? Ever heard of Jihad?

 

[Gimmesometruth]

You are kidding right? Ever heard of Jihad?

I have heard lots of buzzwords from all sorts of islamophobes.

I am still waiting for your data on the number of religious based terrorist actions in the US showing that the overwhelming number of terrorists actions in the US are committed by Muslims.
