Gee RT you just called me a racist. Yet you wonder what triggers me so often to tell you to fuck off. I ignored a few snide remarks you made about me and Israel when I wasn't even posting last year. But no more. Not this shit. If I'm a racist we're all in a lot of trouble. What I posted on this page is easily verifiable. Also, if in fact the bombs contained nails, shrapnel, or ball bearings that's page 11 of the al queda manual, "How To Build A Bomb In The Kitchen Of Your Mom."
and the information i presented about true terrorists in this country is also easily verified. might want to start with the study from 2011 at Duke U on the findings of 10 years of terrorism in the USA since 9/11. but we all know you won't look it up because it will counter what your racist beliefs tell you is truth...and i'm not going to spoon feed you the facts again only for you to overlook it and continue down your path of ignorance and misinformation
This one is for rolltide:

Zit, its obvious your just doing what you are told to do by your almighty. And since we are quoting Qur'ans and Bibles...
Don’t associate with non-Christians. Don’t receive them into your house or even exchange greeting with them. 2 John 1:10
Shun those who disagree with your religious views. Romans 16:17
Its easy to see why you hate Islam so bad and make any/all attempts to point out its flaws (and rightfully so) but conveniently ignore your own book of hatred/fairy tales.

Any religion that considers non-believers to be infidels is founded on intolerance. The extremists take it as far as they can. Regardless of whether you believe in God or don't and regardless of which God(s) you choose to believe in most if not all Americans are tolerant, maybe too tolerant when it comes to terrorism. Terrorism is still in it's infancy in this country and tolerance could be a stumbling block to dealing with terrorism when all is said and done. Some times you simply have to draw a line.
Regardless of who is responsible for what transpired in Boston all Americans need to become more vigilant. That is where the line should be drawn. For way too long we have had a pass and now we are threatened on our on soil. Vigilance is a responsibility, tolerance is a choice. At this point and time we have no choice but to be vigilant.

speaking of educating the ignorant let's give it a shot since you're having to pull articles of violence from 3rd world countries (as if you really give a fuck if one brown person is killing another brown one!)

[h=2]Domestic terrorismStudy shows more non-Muslim terrorists in U.S.[/h]Published 15 February 2011More Sharing ServicesShare|Share on emailShare on facebookShare on twitterShare on linkedin
A new report found that the number of American Muslims involved in terrorist acts dropped by more than half compared to 2009; in 2010 twenty American Muslims were arrested for terrorism, down from 2009’s peak of forty-seven; in 2010 there were more than twenty plots by non-Muslims compared to the ten Muslim Americans arrested for domestic plots; the report supports the argument that fears of domestic radicalization are exaggerated, and was released after the American woman calling herself “Jihad Jane” pled guilty to recruiting terrorists to kill a Swedish cartoonist; Representative Peter King is preparing for domestic radicalization hearings in the House’s Homeland Security committee
A new report found that the number of American Muslims involved in terrorist acts dropped by more than half compared to 2009. It also revealed that more non-Muslim Americans were involved in terrorist plots than Muslim Americans.
The study, conducted by the Triangle Center on Terrorism and Homeland Security at Duke University, showed that last year twenty American Muslims had been arrested on charges of terrorism, down sharply from 2009’s peak of forty-seven.The spike in 2009, which has raised fears of increasing domestic radicalization, was largely an aberration due to the arrest of a group of seventeen Somali-Americans who had joined al-Shabaab in Somalia.
The number of plots by Muslim Americans against domestic targets dropped from eighteen in 2009 to ten in 2010.
Last year there were more than twenty plots by non-Muslims including Joseph Stack who crashed an airplane into an IRS building in Texas.
David Schanzer, director of the Triangle Center, said that the study, “puts into perspective the threat presented by domestic radicalization of Muslim Americans.”
He adds, “Americans should take note that these crimes are being perpetrated by a handful of people whose actions are denounced and rejected by virtually all the Muslims living in the United States.”
The study comes as Congressman Peter King (R-New York), the new head of the Homeland Security committee, is preparing for hearings on the radicalization of U.S. Muslims.
Representative King has rebuffed requests from Democratic lawmakers, including the committee’s ranking Democrat, Representative Bennie Thompson (D–Missippi), to “broaden the scope” of the hearings to include non-Muslims.
King said the investigation will remain “focused on the radicalization and recruitment of people within the American Muslim community by foreign Islamic terrorist groups, primarily al-Qaeda.”
The scheduled hearings have also drawn criticism from many Muslims across the country including those living near King’s district.
In Queens, New York, minutes from the portion of Long Island that King represents, Muslims say that the hearings are unfair.
Ghias Bhuiyan, a member of a mosque in Queens, says, “Congressman Peter King, what he says is very offensive and this is not fair. What he’s saying is going to jeopardize Muslim livelihood.”
While Jamaica, New York resident Menah Eltouby, says “you don’t have to be Muslim to be a terrorist. Terrorists come in every religion, culture. There are Americans who are terrorists.”
Just one day before the release of the Triangle Center report, Philadelphia housewife Colleen LaRose admitted that she had used the screen name “Jihad Jane” to recruit Islamic holy warriors over the Internet to kill a Swedish cartoonist.
In a statement on his Web site, King explains, “There’s a disconnect between outstanding Muslims who contribute so much to the future of our country and those leaders who — for whatever reason — acquiesce in terror or ignore the threat. It is this disconnect that threatens the security of us all.”
The Triangle Center notes in its report that with “Muslims comprising about 1 percent of the American population, it is clear that Muslims are engaging in terrorism at a greater rate than non-Muslims — though at a low level compared with overall violence in the United States.”
Since 9/11 thirty-three people have been killed in the United States in terrorist attacks — or roughly three deaths per year. This compares to the approximately 150,000 murders committed in the United States since then.
after that give this one a try...

as a January 2011 terrorism statistics report — compiled using publicly available data from the FBI and other crime agencies — from the Muslim Public Affairs Council (MPAC) shows, terrorism by Muslim Americans has only accounted for a minority of terror plots since 9/11. Since the attacks on the Twin Towers and Pentagon, Muslims have been involved in 45 domestic terrorist plots. Meanwhile, non-Muslims have been involved in 80 terrorist plots.In fact, right-wing extremist and white supremacist attacks plots alone outnumber plots by Muslims, with both groups being involved in 63 terror plots, 18 more plots than Muslim Americans have been involved in. Here is a breakdown of attacks by group, along with a few examples of plots by some of these groups:

Here is a breakdown of attacks by group, along with a few examples of plots by some of these groups:
Anti-Government/Anti-Tax Extremists: There have been 36 plots by right-wing extremists since 9/11. These attacks include Joseph Stack’s suicide attack on a Texas IRS building and Joshua Cartwright, who became enraged after the election of Barack Obama and “believed that the US Government was conspiring against him.”
KKK/NeoNazi/White Supremacist: There have been 27 plots by white supremacists since 9/11. These attacks include a 2004 letter bombing of the Arizona Office of Diversity and Dialogue that injured three employees.
Unknown/Miscellaneous: There were five attacks that federal crime officials did not categorize.
Christian Extremists/Anti-Abortion: There were three attacks by anti-abortion extremists and Christian extremists. The killing of abortion provider George Tiller is the most prominent of these attacks.
Black Supremacist Cults: There were two plots by black supremacist cults.
Jewish Extremists: There were two plots by Jewish extremists. The most prominent of these was a plot by Robert Goldstein to attack a local Islamic center with home made C4 and other explosives.
Extreme Anti-Immigrant: There were two plots by anti-immigrant extremists. One of these was the attack by Shawn Forde, who murdered a Queens deli clerk and was motivated by racist and anti-immigrant feelings.
Anti-Jewish: There was one plot by an anti-Semitic extremist. Norman Leboonmade anti-Semitic threats against Rep. Eric Cantor (R-VA).
Anarchist: There was a single plot by an anarchist. Joseph D. Konopka “wreaked havoc in 13 counties by setting fires, disrupting radio and television broadcasts, disabling an air traffic control system, selling counterfeit software, and damaging the computer system of an Internet service provider.”
Given the fact that non-Muslim terrorists account for almost twice as many plots as Muslim terrorists in the United States since 9/11, King’s justification that he is targeting Muslims because they represent the primary threat seems hollow.KKK/NeoNazi/White Supremacist: There have been 27 plots by white supremacists since 9/11. These attacks include a 2004 letter bombing of the Arizona Office of Diversity and Dialogue that injured three employees.
Unknown/Miscellaneous: There were five attacks that federal crime officials did not categorize.

ok so the muslims aren't doing much in the USA so must be Europe, eh?
Islamophobes have been popularizing the claim that “not all Muslims are terrorists, but (nearly) all terrorists are Muslims.” Despite this idea becoming axiomatic in some circles, it is quite simply not factual. In my previous article entitled “All Terrorists are Muslims…Except the 94% that Aren’t”, I usedofficial FBI records to show that only 6% of terrorist attacks on U.S. soil from 1980 to 2005 were carried out by Islamic extremists. The remaining 94% were from other groups (42% from Latinos, 24% from extreme left wing groups, 7% from extremist Jews, 5% from communists, and 16% from all other groups).But what about across the pond? The data gathered by Europol strengthens my argument even further. (hat tip: Koppe) Europol publishes an annual report entitled EU Terrorism Situation and Trend Report. On their official website, you can access the reports from 2007, 2008, and 2009. (If anyone can find the reports from earlier than that, please let me know so we can include those as well.)The results are stark, and prove decisively that not all terrorists are Muslims. In fact, a whopping 99.6% of terrorist attacks in Europe were by non-Muslim groups; a good 84.8% of attacks were from separatist groups completely unrelated to Islam. Leftist groups accounted for over sixteen times as much terrorism as radical Islamic groups. Only a measly 0.4% of terrorist attacks from 2006 to 2008 could be attributed to extremist Muslims.
Perception is not reality. Due to the right wing’s influence and propaganda, people mistakenly think that Islamic terrorism is the greatest threat to the Western world. It is even a commonly held belief that Islamic terrorism poses an existential threat–that the very survival of the Western world is at stake. Of course, the reality is that there are other groups that engage in terrorism on a much larger scale, yet these terrorist incidents are minimized. Acts of terrorism committed by Muslims are purposefully sensationalized and focused upon, culminating in the idea that “(nearly) all terrorists are Muslims.” :howdy:
Terrorism from Islamic extremists is certainly a cause for concern, but it need not be an issue that creates mass hysteria. Nor should it be allowed to be such a critical issue that we are willing to sacrifice our ideals or civil rights for fear of it. Neither should we be reduced to a status of absolute sissitude. We have analyzed data from America and Europe (a good portion of the entire Western world), and the threat from Islamic terrorism is much more minimal than commonly assumed; in the U.S., it accounts for 6% of terrorist attacks, and in Europe not even half of a percent.It is only through sensationalism and fear mongering that the topic of Islamic terrorism is allowed to be used to demonize a religious community that happens to be a minority in the West. When confronted by such lunacy, we ought to respond with the facts and the truth.

The cost to suppress the fire was $3,433,983. In November 1998, the Albuquerque Journal received a letter claiming the wildfire on behalf of a local militia group, the Minutemen, as a statement against the killing of gray wolves. Associates of the group are suspected of arsons and threats targeting federal and state land use and environmental advocacy groups over apparent disagreements with environmental causes during the late 1990s.

Updates
To ensure that the most current terrorism-related information is available to the American public, the FBI continually evaluates, and, when investigation warrants, updates terrorism statistics presented in theTerrorism series. In this issue, the following two acts, which were committed during 1998 and 1999, have been added to the concluding chronological summary of terrorist incidents.June 27, 1998
Oso Complex Fire
Espanola, New Mexico
(One act of Domestic Terrorism)
On June 27, 1998, a wildfire originated by arson began in the Espanola Ranger District, 10 miles northwest of Espanola, New Mexico. Known as the Oso Complex Fire, the blaze reached within eight miles of Los Alamos and burned a total of 5,185 forested acres, including on Santa Fe National Forest and Santa Clara Pueblo lands. The cost to suppress the fire was $3,433,983. In November 1998, the Albuquerque Journal received a letter claiming the wildfire on behalf of a local militia group, the Minutemen, as a statement against the killing of gray wolves. Associates of the group are suspected of arsons and threats targeting federal and state land use and environmental advocacy groups over apparent disagreements with environmental causes during the late 1990s.
March 19, 1999
Pipe Bombing
Santa Fe, New Mexico
(One act of Domestic Terrorism)
On March 19, 1999, a pipe bomb improvised explosive device (IED) was discovered in a mailbox at Forest Guardians in Santa Fe, New Mexico. The pipe bomb failed to detonate apparently because the cigarette intended to initiate the IED burned out before igniting the fuse. Forest Guardians is a nonprofit group devoted to stopping commercial logging in national forests, and other environmental issues.
On February 14, 2003, law enforcement officers with the FBI, U.S. Forest Service, and Espanola, New Mexico Police arrested Raymond Anthony Sandoval for setting the June 27, 1998, Oso Complex Fire and the attempted March 19, 1999, Forest Guardians bombing. On June 25, 2003, Sandoval pled guilty to manufacturing a destructive device, possession of an unregistered firearm, arson on federal land, and willfully injuring property of the United States. On October 7, 2003, Sandoval, was sentenced to 84 months incarceration and ordered to make restitution payment of $3 million.

Fletch,
This was one of your weakest posts ever.
First of all, it doesn't take a rocket scientist nor a Christian to figure out that Islam has always been a religion of violence, and is still stuck in the middle ages.
Secondly, shall we take a closer look at the quotes you found with Google? Interesting now with Google, everyone thinks they're an expert on everything.
Romans 16:17 - Paul is writing to the church at Rome and tells them to avoid false teachers inside the church
2 John 1:10 - John is talking about false teachers coming to your door, and says don't listen to them
Very weak Fletch.
the facts aren't going to change anyone's opinion around here because you guys are so pigeonholed into the right wing / left wing paradigm and digest the wrong information on a daily basis.
and, zitty, if you honestly don't believe your're not an Islamophobe and racist i've got about 25 pages of a thread detailing your ignorance. At least Scott has some hardcore religious issues that make him hate the Muslims but what's your excuse?
and as far as your dumbass Somalia article...religious fighting takes place daily in 2nd/3rd world countries because religion is used as a way to control the masses and give the less fortunate something to live and fight for. It was like that in the Crusades and will always be like that in poor countries
