Look at the Wikipedia pages for Jewish, Christian and Islamic terrorism. Count the total deaths for each if you really want.
>A lot of acts of "terrorism" don't get the same press that those committed by Muslims do.
Do you have statistics to back that up?
I don't know why I'm trying to defend what I said from you, you've missed my point completely. People expected this to be a Muslim terrorist attack because most terrorist attacks are Muslim - whether the latter part is true or not has no effect on what people think.
I think the wikipedia pages are about 'terrorist' attacks conducted in the name of religions rather than the religion of the culprits. I don't have statistics to prove that 'terrorist' attacks by muslims are given more press coverage than non muslims so I'll give you that.
Are we really at a point where all 'terrorist' attacks are assumed to be committed by muslims?
