Ok, I decided to help branch out the terrorism discussion out of the thread I started about US homicide.
The real bitch for Deric, is that the link he provided sources the same Maryland University Global Terrorism DB. Now I couldn’t find the article within the GTD, but it was obvious when looking at the site, that this would be coming from their 45 years of compiling the data.
If one follows the linky within the article, it is the same place:
And 45 years of terrorism looks like this with hot spots in the UK (IRA) and Spain/France (ETA), Sri Lanka, Central America, Colombia, and Peru:

Approximately 23% of the world population identifies as Muslim. But, since September 11, Islamist groups have conducted about 20% of terrorist attacks worldwide. Thus, terrorist attacks are – historically and today – less likely to be conducted by a Muslim than by a non-Muslim group.
When you first document the silly 20% claim.You have not bothered to document any of your claims. That is now 3 BS claims in a row you have posted.That claim is BS.
What is BS is the silly claim that Muslims commit only 20% of terrorism. The site bilby's article cites for backup does not back it up at all.
There is a lot of Muslim apologetics on the Left and you jave fallen for it hook, line and sinker.
