Islamic terrorists ‘likely’ behind mid-air blast that ripped a hole through the side of a Somali plane nydn.us

You know what irks me about these reports? They never fail to mention it when the perpetrators are Muslim, but they almost never point out that the victims are also Muslim.

A plane was going from Somalia, a 99% Muslim country, to Djbouti, a 97% Muslim country. The official state religion of both countries is Islam. In all likelihood both the intended targets and actual victims were Muslims. [Source]

This happens somewhere nearly every day. This month is off to a slow start—10 dead and 20 injured in Kabul on 2/1, and one Israeli border policewoman killed on 2/3 (two others injured).

There were 90 terrorist attacks in January. Let that number sink in for a minute—90 terrorist attacks—that’s an average of 3 per day. Out of those, 78 resulted in one or more deaths. The vast majority of the dead & injured were Muslim, though a few Europeans, Israeli Jews, and at least one American were also casualties (no deaths among the European or American victims, and the Palestinians tend to lose one or more for every Israeli they kill).

I’m not going to try to add up the numbers of the Muslims killed by Muslim terrorists last month. It takes too long and is too depressing.

But, yeah, lets all run around with our hair on fire screaming about how ISIS is coming to get us and is a threat to the very existence of western democracies, because that’s what politicians and the media tell us is going to happen. Gah!

(Lawhawk, I’m not picking on you or mad at you, I’m just annoyed with the constant scaremongering B.S. coming from politicians and the media.)
