Additional statistics backing up my initial assertion that 98% of the terrorist incidents in Europe are not related to Islamic extremism:

Less Than 2 Percent Of Terrorist Attacks In The E.U. Are Religiously Motivated. http://t.co/nR4XMDzvOl

Those statistics are based on the EU terrorism figures, so unless you’ve got some actual statistics that dispute those findings….

Note that this also applies to incidence, not the severity of attacks. Islamic terrorists have managed few attacks, but those that succeed tend to be significant mass casualty events. In other words, it’s a remote threat, but one that when actualized is a significant one.
