Because he was lying....how surprising...I take it you didn't like the question. Why not cite current terrorism statistics?

The real statistics
Oh, really?
Can you point out the stats that I "lied" about, and provide me w/ the correct ones?
You need to provide current ones to support your claims...
Or you could just admit your lie
You used statistics that excluded current events......a deliberate distortion of facts is commonly known as a......fill in the blank, sucker.....

According to this government study four of the top five [aka most active/deadly] terrorist groups were Muslim. A Maoist terrorist group in India managed to place 5th.
Also, 2014 was the deadliest year on record for terrorism.
Hey, when you're losing, it's simple - just move the goalposts.
Shrewd.
Losing what? You gave some dated terrorist data and I gave some current data which showed that 2014 [likely the most recent year they have good data on] was the worst year in the 21st century in terms of lethal terrorism.
The term for that is cherry-picking data. It's easy to get the impression that it matters to you who wins the Terrorist Award.
And, surprise-surprise, four Islamist groups top the list. In contrast, your out-dated source minimized the Islamist threat.
Here are some more recent ones for you then:

I mean, particularly in the U.S., you & yours don't seen nearly as concerned about the separatists & far-right groups, who - surprise-surprise - are responsible for many more attacks.
Why is that, Darth?

More cherry picking data.
The first link [NYT] started their count after 9/11 and attributed 26 deaths to Islamic terrorists. That's a common ploy. What good reason is there to exclude the nearly 3,000 deaths in 9/11? There isn't any, unless you're trying to prop up a narrative.
Think of it this way: suppose it were some sort of perverse contest between Islamic and non-Islamic terrorists. Excluding 9/11 so other guys got the prize is known as 'cheating' lol.
But it's a common ploy engaged in by the left. Also, the NYT piece is dated June of last year. The Orlando shooter, alone, killed 49 people---mostly gays, in June of this year. In other words, the death by jihadist count nearly doubled in one terrorist act.
Most rational people would deem the Islamic variety more dangerous than the non-Islamic variety. Moreso, when 9/11 is taken into account.
It's seems important to you that the reputation of Islam not be sullied by facts on the ground and the most current data.
When 49 deaths "nearly doubles" the count of anything - who is distorting things?
Very revealing response, Darth. I'll continue to pray for you guys.
I'm curious as to what other incidences you know of that would make "49 deaths 'nearly doubles' the count of anything - [distortion].

You're going to say I sound like Yurt, but you are equivocating here. I have never seen you so defensive of other killings. For example, gun killings, Mass murders, I see you in some way blaming the people with the guns.His comment, to me, is a huge indicator regarding the hysteria over Islamic terrorism.
Not to marginalize 49 deaths. But my goodness...can you do the math on that? What does that make the probability of dying in an Islamic terrorist attack?
