First off, I would just like to point out that I have not downvoted anyone in this thread. I do not censor other people's opinions, however misguided I personally consider them. Apparently you do like to tape mask over the faces of people you disagree with.
You are getting lost in the claims and counter-claims. Their claim was that "Muslims are not more violent than non-Muslims". Your claim is about who is committing terrorism. That is not the same thing.
The terrorist statistics have always skewed towards nationalists - but that is on the widest definition of terrorism. Arsons, letter bombs, and the like. But not the deaths caused by terrorism, which is what most ordinary folk are thinking about. That is Islamists, and has been for years. You should know that already, you seem well-informed. I will not speculate about your motives in ignoring it.
But now I am getting sidetracked too. My argument was about Islam versus other religions. And there, I'm afraid to say that the statistics are clear as day. And again, you both must know this already.
