Profiling reconsidered: Only about 1/3 US terrorist plots since 9/11 are by Muslims

leave a comment »

The scary Muslim terrorist meme gets a lot of attention, but it distracts from the large number of non-Muslim terrorists. Not all the US non-Muslim terrorists are Christians (as was the terrorist in Norway), so I’m not suggesting we profile Christians.

Here’s a post by Ed Brayton where he discusses this interesting report (which dates from March).

I notice that many on the right are desperately trying to say that the Norwegian terrorist was not a Christian. Perhaps not in the sense of being Christ-like, but then most who belong to Christian faiths are not. But he was a Christian in exactly the same way that the Muslim terrorists were Muslims.
