Why the ‘rise in crimes against Muslims’ becoming a dangerous fact?IN America the terrorist threat posed by radical Islam has been exaggerated, according to a study by researchers at Duke University and the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill.
In Europe, less than 300 acts of terrorism were registered in 2009, only one was an attack from an Islamist group, according to figures released by the EU’s police agency Europol.
Yet western countries continue to live in terror of Muslims, a fear propagated and perpetuated by the media. Nearly all mainstream news networks seem to follow the same ethos: “Not all Muslims are terrorists, but nearly all terrorists are Muslims.”
However reality points to a different direction which no one is really interested to see.
On the FBI’s official website, there exists a list of all terrorist attacks committed on US soil from the year 1980 all the way to 2005. According to this data, there were more Jewish acts of terrorism within the United States than Islamic.
