I will tell you that at least 80% (or more) of stories on my news (BBC) relating to terrorist activity is Muslim based. What more do you want me to say? Do you get apple growers blowing up trains in your area? Or women fighting with AK47s over cheap moisturiser? Give me a reason why I'm wrong to cite Islamic violence as the biggest problem this world has right now
You're in the dock, because you're making incorrect assumptions about religious groups.
Your original claim wasn't related to terrorism in the first place. Your original claim was related to ALL evil acts of violence. Sure, 80% of your news to do with terrorism may be embedded in Islam, but since when was the United Kingdom representative of 99.9% or 60 - 98% of all violent acts?
" Give me a reason why I'm wrong to cite Islamic violence as the biggest problem this world has right now" - I've given you the same reason in every post I've made in this thread so far. You don't have reliable evidence to back up your claim for starters. And I'm not disputing that Islamic terrorism is a serious issue. Whether it's the biggest issue, I'm not so sure, but you're certainly entitled to believe that it is. However, that wasn't the original argument you made in your OP. Again, you're moving the goal-posts.
who's doing it? some people...
Whoops I miscalculated, therefore I'm the criminal..
Get a grip fendon... challenge the killers rather than the ones who get their (media fed) stats a bit wrong...
Where do you get your info from ?

Well let's challenge them all rather than kicking the shite out of me ffs !
PS if you're about to post a reply and your response is going to be negative, improper, average, odd, obtuse, irrational, an argument, might change the focus, going off at a tangent or just mean ... go and find a maths forum to post on instead, they'll love you !!
