14,000 murders in United States last year, not one resulted from Islamic extremism!

WASHINGTON — A feared wave of homegrown terrorism by radicalized Muslim Americans has not materialized, with plots and arrests dropping sharply over the two years since an unusual peak in 2009, according to a new study by a North Carolina research group.

The study, to be released on Wednesday, found that 20 Muslim Americans were charged in violent plots or attacks in 2011, down from 26 in 2010 and a spike of 47 in 2009.

Charles Kurzman, the author of the report for the Triangle Center on Terrorism and Homeland Security, called terrorism by Muslim Americans “a minuscule threat to public safety.” Of about 14,000 murders in the United States last year, not a single one resulted from Islamic extremism, said Mr. Kurzman, a professor of sociology at the University of North Carolina.

The report also found that no single ethnic group predominated among Muslims charged in terrorism cases last year — six were of Arab ancestry, five were white, three were African-American and two were Iranian, Mr. Kurzman said. That pattern of ethnic diversity has held for those arrested since Sept. 11, 2001, he said.

Forty percent of those charged in 2011 were converts to Islam, Mr. Kurzman found, slightly higher than the 35 percent of those charged since the 2001 attacks. His new report is based on the continuation of research he conducted for a book he published last year, “The Missing Martyrs: Why There Are So Few Muslim Terrorists.”

But the number of cases declined, returning to the rough average of about 20 Muslim Americans accused of extremist violence per year that has prevailed since the 2001 attacks, with 193 people in that category over the decade. By Mr. Kurzman’s count, 462 other Muslim Americans have been charged since 2001 for nonviolent crimes in support of terrorism, including financing and making false statements.

**War on terror or war of hype? the United States should be held accountable for their hyping the muslims as a threat. This report goes to show the Western media has the public brainwashed on the so called muslim threat!

If only they put as much effort into solving the very real 14,000 murders or the causes of the ever worsening degenerate society they have.**

14000 is a big amount, it seems they are having a war of terror of their own in the US.

When and where did America hype that all muslims are terrorists? some nuts may say that but that is not the opinion of all Americans! I think there are some 7 million American Muslims if I remember correctly!

Shame on those of you who characterize the war on terror as war on muslims. It shows what you think of muslims yourself!

*the credit goes to f.b.i. and other law enforcement agencies of america *, once bitten by al qayada they have ensured not to let any terrorist move inside america without having tracked by federal agencies .

kudos to the americans who chased these beqayada and failqayada terror criminals up to the caves and dens of these savages in afghanistan and up to the abbottabad .

they are doing a great service to the mankind by eliminating the wretches of alqayada the agents of shaitan and dajjal ,

all peace loving muslims who respect humanitarian values are happy and relieved by elimination of shaitan osama bin laden.

what to talk about the fools , knuckle heads and criminals who are incessantly busy in spreading poison and hatred against non muslims by inciting hatred and violence through fake rumours and propaganda . i hope french authorities alongwith other european countries wake up and take action against hate monger alqayada sympathizers.

Don't see a point of this thread. The comparison is absurd.

Re: 14,000 murders in United States last year, not one resulted from Islamic extremis

Kudos indeed that in teh process they killed *thousands upon thousands of innocent people in all these countries. *. Do you condemn the great Americans for that or not? Yes or no?

Shame on those who believe it otherwise.

Re: 14,000 murders in United States last year, not one resulted from Islamic extremis

The US media is for low level thinking people the way they portray all muslims as potential bombers is pathetic.

14,000 murders and not one linked to radical islam??? shows the US government is fooling their gullible and naive public yet again with scare stories.

while their society is plagued by crime, economic decline, no respect for other people they have no answer for this, it is no wonder the US government instead want to put fear into the people by blaming the muslims, easy scapegoat "watch out muslim about ".

they are spreading AQ throughout the world

Somalia’s al-Shabab join al-QaedaIslamist militant group al-Shabab, which controls much of Somalia, has released a joint video with al-Qaeda, announcing the two groups have merged.

Re: 14,000 murders in United States last year, not one resulted from Islamic extremis

Step back and look at the bigger picture pre and post 911, AQ has spread its tenticles far and wide thanks to another amreekan SUCKcess story. If this is success I wonder what failure would look like.. They can kill all the real and fake OBLs but they cannot kill an ideology and OBL/AQ has become an ideology again tanks to amreeka for its great Jihad against the evil empire.

Re: 14,000 murders in United States last year, not one resulted from Islamic extremis

the thousands you're talking about will not have died if your ISI hadn't played double games and extended the war. Blame ISI and your military for posing as ally to the NATO/US even while protecting and growing the terrorists.

Shameful indeed.

Re: 14,000 murders in United States last year, not one resulted from Islamic extremis

As bad as the ISI is, nobody is as bad as the genocidal George Bush.

No one did more to 'help' AQ, than Bush, with his war of terror on the people of Iraq.

Re: 14,000 murders in United States last year, not one resulted from Islamic extremis

get over it. Your blind hatred of Pakistan prevents you from making any intelligent analysis. What did ISI had to do with ther killing of innocent people in Iraq? Like a typical Indian you cant see anything else except ISI behind everything. Not your fault that is what you are taught and you read in your press all the time.

It wasnt Taliban bombing innocent people in Iraq, nor in Afghanistan.

Re: 14,000 murders in United States last year, not one resulted from Islamic extremis

^ ISI & Pak military is certainly the reason the war went on so long in Af-Pak. You should also know a large proportion of terrorism and related deaths happened in Pakistan due to homegrown religious extremists specializing in suicide bombings. Don't understand why you'd call me blindly hateful for stating these things that everyone knows is true

Iraq is a different story -

Re: 14,000 murders in United States last year, not one resulted from Islamic extremis

why should one criticise america when they are hunting criminals and dictators who are gravest danger for the humanity?
for the loss of human lives those people are responsible who gave safe houses in their countries to the terrorists , why rougues criminals and terrorists came all the way rushing to the pakistan ? those people are responsible but persons blind with hate cannot understand simple logic " äs you sow so shall you reap"

17

Re: 14,000 murders in United States last year, not one resulted from Islamic extremis

^ they all now criticise America because the Americans realized the double game and the dole stopped. Since 2001 how many NATO soldiers were killed by suicide bombers trained by Pakistan military and ISI terrorist wings? How shameless an organization has to be to send in terrorists to kill women and children sleeping in their quarters in Kashmir? how much of an instrument of evil are organizations such as ISI to fund, train and in fact direcct play by play, the murder of innocent commuters in Mumbai?

Suddenly the Pakistani boosters wake up as the dole stops. Suddenly they start body count in Pakistan - why didn't they count it in 2003, 2003, 2004, 2005, 2006, 2007, 2008, 2009, 2010......cha ching chaching cha ching went cash registers even as kaboom kaboom kaboom went mosques, processions, schools....even funerals! Suddenly as America stopped payments, they all start counting the bodies.

And they have the temerity to talk about attack on thousands of innocent people! After perpetrating and supporting the attacks themselves!

Re: 14,000 murders in United States last year, not one resulted from Islamic extremis

So you are refusing to condemn the killings of innocent. Did Iraq have terrorists, did they invite America to come and kill thousands upon thousands of innocent civilians there.

19

Re: 14,000 murders in United States last year, not one resulted from Islamic extremis

Oh when it comes to Iraq you didn't post anything in case you have to criticise the killers of innocent people.

Re: 14,000 murders in United States last year, not one resulted from Islamic extremis

I have never read such rubbish in my life. In Kashmir it was your soldiers massacring peaceful people who dont want to be part of your country. If you have faith hold an independent referendum and you will know . Dont talk about "independent" elections held under the noses of 70,000 soldiers.

Innocent people have been killed by insurgents sent in from Afghanistan by those who have "consulates" all over the country and also others who have armed soldiers there, and than they have the nerve to come here and pretend that the blood of innocent people doesnt matter because of their hatred of Muslims. Shameful really.
