Odd dynamic going on here. 

We all know that the majority of muslims are peaceful.  However, we also know that most of the recent terrorist attacks in America and Europe have been muslim extremists despite making up a tiny percentage of the population.   With the two rare exceptions of Timothy McVeigh and Eric Rudolph most terrorist attacks on America have been by muslim radicals.

It is my hope that the moderate majority of muslims will reign in the minority exremist elements and we can all live in peace.  We should all support and encourage the moderate Muslims

I hope you know how incredibly offensive that sounds.

Sweeping statements, much? In modern history, the UK has suffered at the hands of Irish Republicanism more than it has Muslim Extremism.

EDIT: In fact, according to their website, MI5 are more concerned about terror threats from Ireland, atm, than from Muslim Extremists.

He might be right to some degree. There might be more practicing Muslims who are terrorists than any other religious group represented, but it boils down terrorism to a narrow view

Well, he specifically mentioned "America and Europe", then outlined exceptions to American terrorist incidents. I'm outlining the exception of the UK from Europe. I'm also going to assume that other European countries have higher priorities than Muslim Extremists, too.

(No longer directed at Kowenicki), I think a very important thing to remember is that a large number of Muslim terrorist attacks are not directly related to religion. The vast majority of Muslim-related incidents come from Israel and Russia, where the attacks are less on a twisted-take on the religion, and more a struggle for independence. The fact that the people involved are Muslim is almost (but, not entirely, in Israel's case), coincidental. If you are to take those incidents out of the scale, the global threat of "Islam" is much lower. In fact, over the past decade, places like Colombia with the FARC are at far greater risk than anywhere with Islam.

Terrorism isn't all bad, either. It can lead to brilliant changes, and move humanity forward. Boston Tea Party, anyone? Or the Suffragettes?

You've Obviously Never Been to Northern Ireland .... Plenty of terrorists there.

Big meh topic...    For all I know ETA in Spain is not muslim. Terrorism is only a tool used by radical political groups that once again can use religion as a tool. Think about all the mess United State as caused in the world (Nicaragua, Chile even Irak) I'm not sure whose the real terrorism really is. The reality is that we might all be the terrorist of somebody else. The real terrorist is in fact injustice retaken by radical groups (which I do not approove). So we should have a very "humanist" conception of the thing if we want to solve problems. Not stupid points of views bases on stereotypes like the title of this Thread.

Hey I am a Muslim and i do think most terrorists shown on tv are from middleeastern terrorists (My family doesn't consider them muslims because the act they commit are just wrong on so many levels). But also we have to look at perspective here. I have some family in the middle east and many people consider americans terrorists. Well america did help bring sadaam hussain and the taliban in power. Its about perspective. But yes i do agree that from americans perspecitve most attcks are from "middleeasterns"

Terrorism does not simply mean anyone who is a radical or revolutionary.  Terrorism is the political control of a people of a region through the use of fear, i.e. killing civilians to keep them in fear of participating in their normal lives.  It's aim is to control a culture by surpressing the people with fear of retribution. 

Terrorist defined by who's standards?

There are a ton of Jewish Settler groups and such that are not on the US terrorist organization list which Christian and Muslim Arabs in Palestine would argue should be.

There are tons of Russian military forces and government entities that the Chechen Muslims as well as other former Soviet states people's would argue shoudl be.

I could go on with other religious / non religious groups but its rather pointless as your assertion is simply ignorant.
