What does the rate of terrorist activity in Iraq, Afghanistan, Pakistan, Nigeria and Syria have to do with whether or not 98% of terrorist activity in Europe is not related to Islamic extremism?

Nothing, nothing, and nothing.

US maps, likewise.

And compilations of “terrorist incidents” that count “incidents” as equally serious whether the result was a flat tire or mass casualties are of no value.

Wow the Spanish figures really don’t add up. I live in Spain, I am interested in politics and I don’t remember more than 2 or 3 terrorist attacks the past few years, let alone hundreds. They are counting, I fear, every instance of public disturbance in the Basque Country, maybe every bar fight as well. Those figures are massively overblown.
