I'd assume so. It's not very well written, though. *NM* Ghavrel Send a noteboard - 03/02/2010 06:35:37 AM
Seems like virtually all the talk above is about non-citizens who are perpetrating violent acts, either on or outside US territory. The article's first sentence (which admittedly is lost in the overblown rhetoric that follows) seems to make a good point; U.S. citizens who are Muslim aren't any more radicalized or violent than a host of other groups: Puerto Rican separtists, white supremacists, extreme Zionists, Communists, and so forth. Considering that I live in a region that had a host of church bombings from the 1950s through the present (series of arsons done recently by white supremacists), a region that had a century of lynchings and mob violence, the data presented would seem to jibe with anecdotal evidence that the KKK has done more individual acts of what today would be called terrorism in recent years than any American citizen who follows the precepts of Islam has caused.

Of course, one could look at it from the basis of percentage of membership, but that's not what the article or the debates above focus on, no?

All Terrorists are Muslims… except the 94% that aren’t. - 01/02/2010 10:42:12 PM 1789 Views
I find that unsurprising. - 01/02/2010 11:31:43 PM 473 Views
Lot of BS in there - 01/02/2010 11:33:08 PM 587 Views
I'm afraid I have to agree with this. - 01/02/2010 11:46:02 PM 538 Views
Well, no. Robbery accounts for a very small percentage of those attacks. Look at the chart. - 01/02/2010 11:50:39 PM 504 Views
I found the so-called Islamophobic reply... allow me to quote it in its entirety. - 01/02/2010 11:52:37 PM 521 Views
It's a valid complaint. *NM* - 02/02/2010 01:49:08 AM 202 Views
Whose complaint is valid? - 02/02/2010 01:55:58 AM 484 Views
Yours. *NM* - 02/02/2010 02:15:01 AM 207 Views
I did note the rampant bias. - 01/02/2010 11:48:55 PM 597 Views
What about attacks on Iraqi police volunteers? - 01/02/2010 11:53:58 PM 497 Views
it only included attacks on American soil *NM* - 02/02/2010 02:03:16 PM 215 Views
Most of the Iraq violence isn't against the foreign occupier... - 01/02/2010 11:54:44 PM 516 Views
Ahem... /\ /\ /\ - 01/02/2010 11:56:34 PM 541 Views
Dude, 46 seconds. I was typing it while you posted. *NM* - 02/02/2010 12:05:44 AM 198 Views
True, but I was referring to attacks on US soldiers. - 02/02/2010 01:47:55 AM 496 Views
That's still a bad benchmark - 02/02/2010 10:00:23 AM 584 Views
You would be very wrong - 02/02/2010 02:11:08 PM 541 Views
Um, since when is all Mid-East terrorism against foreign occupiers? - 02/02/2010 12:33:13 AM 659 Views
I would agree with this. - 02/02/2010 02:33:47 AM 582 Views
It was bound to happen sooner or later. - 02/02/2010 04:10:13 AM 615 Views
This is the only problem I have with "definitions" - 02/02/2010 04:51:00 AM 491 Views
You're conflating two types of fighters who shouldn't be, I believe. - 03/02/2010 06:16:21 AM 482 Views
I think you missed the point. - 05/02/2010 05:15:40 AM 490 Views
One of us did. - 05/02/2010 08:26:07 AM 661 Views
I'm not talking ETHICALLY or MORALLY - 14/02/2010 06:41:32 PM 495 Views
I was, or at least speaking legally. - 15/02/2010 06:54:50 AM 555 Views
Churchill's justification of bombings cited civilians as the targets, IIRC - 03/02/2010 12:46:16 AM 675 Views

Demographics are the key, methinks. - 02/02/2010 12:20:46 AM 600 Views
WTF? Are these people serious? - 02/02/2010 02:19:05 AM 535 Views
Ah, good. I've driven you out of lurking. Now recommend me operas. *NM* - 02/02/2010 02:41:30 AM 198 Views
Huh? *NM* - 02/02/2010 02:03:24 PM 217 Views
I made a survey on musicals and operas on the board! - 02/02/2010 05:15:45 PM 457 Views

So what? - 02/02/2010 02:23:42 AM 542 Views
Waco were terrorist? Do they just make this crap up? *NM* - 02/02/2010 02:00:40 PM 391 Views
So I presume the article meant to highlight that Muslim American citizens aren't all that violent? - 03/02/2010 04:17:06 AM 571 Views
I'd assume so. It's not very well written, though. *NM* - 03/02/2010 06:35:37 AM 313 Views
