✒"Islamic terrorism" 💣 between facts and illusions (using statistics and scholarly sources) (threads🧵): https://t.co/Bhd1ozrzlT
@hoxxlerl - counthwm
1⃣ FBI report: About 94% of the terrorist attacks that occurred on American soil between 1980 and 2005 were carried out by non-Muslims. The majority of terrorist attacks between 1993 and 2001 in America were carried out by far-right and far-left radical groups. https://t.co/t9ZlC02GRY

2⃣ The Global Center for the Study and Response to Terrorism, located at the University of Maryland, USA, confirms: More than 90% of terrorist attacks in the United States of America are carried out by non-Muslims https://t.co/P8fK8OzaGD

3⃣ Study from the University of NC: -In one year, mass shootings in the US killed three times more Americans than Islamic terrorism did in 13 years. Islamic terrorism accounted for only 0.02% of all US deaths from 2001 to 2013 (37 out of 190,000). https://t.co/a848zWKWLG

4⃣ Based on the above statistics, the chances of an American citizen dying from a lightning strike from the sky are about 67 times higher than his death from a terrorist attack carried out by a Muslim (LOL). https://t.co/GInDdz1Nj0

While his/her death due to peanut allergy is more than 100 times more likely than his death from a terrorist attack carried out by Muslims (yes you should be more afraid of dying from peanut butter or a lightening than dying from Muslims lol)

5⃣ The situation in Europe is not very different from America Terrorist attacks with a religious background between 2009 and 2013, for example, did not constitute more than 2% of the total attacks on the entire territory of the European continent. https://t.co/7yViUR0oaE

-While 98% of them were from secular, right-wing and left-wing backgrounds and other non-religious orientations
@hoxxlerl - counthwm
6⃣ On the global scene, 93% of terrorist attacks around the world between 1970 and 2011 were carried out by secular groups of various orientations. The share of religious terrorism in its various sects did not exceed more than 7% at most. https://t.co/y2aGPWV8S5

7⃣ As for the suicide bombings with which they struck Muslims’ heads with, atheists and secularists had the most share of them. -At least 57% of suicide attacks around the world between 1980 and 2001 were carried out by secular and communist atheist groups. https://t.co/OWQLbirFVr
@hoxxlerl - counthwm
-Even 33% of those that occurred in Muslim countries were carried out by secularists.

8⃣ It is worth mentioning here that more than 70% of suicide bombings in Lebanon during the 1980s were carried out by Christians, not Muslims. In contrast, 21% were secular and communist groups, and only 8% were Islamists (led by the Shiite Hezbollah Militias). https://t.co/gwA1J9l6Wq

9⃣ By tracing the roots of “martyrdom” operations in jihadi thought, we find that they go back to Khomeini’s Shiite thought, which was absorbed by ((some)) Muslim Brotherhood thinkers and later seeped through them into groups affiliated with the Sunnis (the majority of Muslims). https://t.co/tyrU5xvRMb
@hoxxlerl - counthwm
-The first suicide bombing in the history of Islamic countries happened at the hands of Shiite Hezbollah militias in Lebanon not on the hand of Muslims.

1️⃣0️⃣ If you examine the Rafidi Shiite basis of one of the most important pillars of contemporary jihadist thought, you will realize that its groups that lack legal knowledge (sharia "law") and a firm Islamic doctrinal compass that causes trouble. https://t.co/fxB9tRZmOG
@hoxxlerl - counthwm
-Especially the fact that 83% of Al-Qaeda fighters in Afghanistan studied in secular schools, while the percentage of ISIS members who received Islamic knowledge (sharia) does not exceed 5% of the total fighters.
@hoxxlerl - counthwm
1⃣1⃣ Perhaps this ideological illiteracy is the reason why the vast majority of victims of terrorism - Islamic and non-Islamic - around the world (75%) are Muslims. https://t.co/pS5762rcBH
@hoxxlerl - counthwm
This is the opposite of what is promoted by Christians, atheists, and Islamophobs in general who always like to play the role of the victim, claim oppression, and lament their alleged targeting by “Islamic terrorism.”

1️⃣2️⃣All of the above is supported by a study from the American University of Alabama, which proved the bias of the American and Western media in general when found that terrorist attacks carried out by Muslims receive 357% more media coverage than those carried out by non-Muslims https://t.co/x7ZLDDeMO0
@hoxxlerl - counthwm
1️⃣3️⃣This is also supported by another study from the University of Georgia, which also found that terrorist attacks carried out by Muslims receive more than 40% of media coverage in the American media, even though they do not exceed 13% of all the attacks. https://t.co/c1jC8tswSv
