I'm hoping you agree with me that calling the author of that reply "an Islamophobe" is idiotic and evidence of a mentality that's almost as black and white as what he's reproaching the "Islamophobes". Nitpicking about robbery or arson really doesn't change the validity of this guy's point.

All Terrorists are Muslims… except the 94% that aren’t.

Well, no. Robbery accounts for a very small percentage of those attacks. Look at the chart.

I found the so-called Islamophobic reply... allow me to quote it in its entirety.

Most of the Iraq violence isn't against the foreign occupier...

Um, since when is all Mid-East terrorism against foreign occupiers?

Churchill's justification of bombings cited civilians as the targets, IIRC

So I presume the article meant to highlight that Muslim American citizens aren't all that violent?
