How Do Europeans Feel About Islam?

[Jumi]

There are different types of terrorists. Some want to kill innocents, most European ones go for property damage. That's why they don't make international headlines.

These are quite well known stats put forward by europol. Google them. The data is last available for 2013 if I'm not mistaken. I'm glad you didn't dispute any of the other facts or we'd be here all year.

Link?

Well, since you didn't give me a link, I looked into this as you suggested with a google search.
The figures are generally correct (nearer 10% than 1% in the reports I found) although it measures 'incidents' rather than 'deaths' - so, a car set on fire in Spain in the name of Basque Separatism scores the same as the 7/7 atrocities in London or the Charlie Hebdo attack in Paris.
If you measure deaths it is nearer 80% caused by Islamic extremists, that figure would have been a lot higher had it not been for Anders Breivik in Norway.killing 70+

I don't know where you're getting your stats from but the number is actually 0.7% from 2006-2013 (terror attacks carried out by Muslims). This link has the data tables from europol, the only organisation that actually collects data which is widely used by security agencies in europe.

Ahh, at last a link.

Again, there are lies, damn lies and statistics. The information I found was over a longer period.
One was a Europol report that says, "While most terrorist attacks in the EU were carried out by separatist groups in 2014, they were generally small-scale, and have continued to decline in numbers in recent years. The main concern reported by EU Member States (EU MS) is the phenomenon of jihadists travelling to and from conflict zones, which has enhanced the capabilities and the resolve of religiously inspired terrorist individuals and groups to perpetrate terrorist acts in the EU. This was evidenced by the completion of an attack in May - carried out by a religiously inspired individual who had returned from"
It is from a report called 'TE-SAT 2015 - European Union Terrorism Situation and Trend Report 2015'

I also notice that you totally ignored my comments (and Europol's comments) on comparing apples with pairs, i.e. property damage vs mass murder.

Oh @Altfish you can't do that.
