You can't even interpret your own fucking link. It was explicitly from 1980 to 2011.Śiva wrote: ↑Thu Oct 11, 2018 12:35 amWhat fucking basics??? Are you not capable of reading what I write? I addressed your fucking point.
Śiva wrote: ↑Thu Oct 11, 2018 12:21 amWhat the fuck man? Those aren't the absolute numbers! Read the goddamn paper. Those are the number of people exposed by the 64 returning terrorist they caught, and only those that are/were Salafi Jihadists and who went to Iraq/Syria from 2014 onward.pErvinalia wrote: ↑Thu Oct 11, 2018 12:16 amYOU quoted the NPR article that has 33+ per year.
I don't know why I keep expecting any different, but again, it's YOUR claim. What numbers do you claim leave the US for jihad? This is the last time I'll be asking. After that, I'm taking pity on you and leaving you alone. There's something decidedly not right at your end of the internet.
Again, it does not claim to represent the entirety of the number of American Muslims who have travelled abroad to engage in terrorist activities.
As I said.. basics.
edit: I see you didn't quote the NPR article. YOu quoted something, not sure what, but I was directly responding to your quote of 1000+ jihadists from 1980-2011

Re: Should Stupidity Be Declared A Criminal Ideology?
The NPR's article sourced its information from the same report by George Washington University's Program on Extremism you claim to be familiar with. On page 12 it refers to "250 to 300 American jihadist recruits", 64 of which are studied in greater detail.Śiva wrote: ↑Wed Oct 10, 2018 11:04 pmOh yeah.

That's not hyperbolic. Not if you define 300 out of 3 million, or 0.0001% as 'often'.pErvinalia wrote: ↑Wed Oct 10, 2018 10:27 pmOf course he's serious. You made a ridiculously hyperbolic claim...
Moving right along,
From Pew Research:
So, 'often' in the context you're using the word, is 1 out of 4295 Muslims in Europe and 1 out of 10,000 in the US.

Re: Islam - How Awful Is It?
Wonderful. Perhaps I should have worded it as "too frequently" instead of "often."
Thanks for the notes. Any chance you actually engage the points I raised?

C'mon man, that's just a "technicality". We can't take a person's words at face value. That would be irrational or something...

Re: Islam - How Awful Is It?
That I can agree with, but one in a million would be "too frequently" as well, so the new wording diminishes the alarm quotient of your statement. That's not the effect you are after, is it?
Well, I did address one of them. As for any others, I would if I could, but they are spread among the flame war between you and rEv, and I am not going to comb through all those posts to find them again. Could you repeat them please, perhaps in a bulleted list?

Re: Islam - How Awful Is It?
Siva, your only response to this detailed and factual statement is to say that is still "too frequent". Well, I suppose in an ideal world, 0 would be a better figure. All the other stuff you said about them a while back may be true, in the sense that anyone with any sense will recognise the radicalised young muslims as a real danger. I doubt anyone here would disagree, but what implications do you draw from that? That muslims are all bad, and that the west should go all pogrom on their arse?Hermit wrote:

The boring, pragmatic reality is that these relatively small number of people are, in the vast majority of cases, being successfully contained by intelligence and police agencies, and that they receive (quite rightly) harsh penalties when they are proved to be planning terrorist attacks, or assisting others.

Re: Islam - How Awful Is It?
Exactly. Hammer -> Nail head. Siva's point is to paint mainstream Muslims as some sort of violent threat to the rest of us.
