There is other terrorism in the world, but we all have to accept that 99.9% percent of evil violence in this world is in the name of Islam... when will the world wake up and accept this?
So non-islamic terrorism is by definition no longer terrorism?
Btw, in terms of violence, I highly doubt islamic inspired violence is responsible for anything close to a majority of the death caused by violence.
I am willing to bet domestic and drug related violence kills many times more people world wide each year then violence in the name of Islam. But I am sure if you are cornered and skinned alive by a Mexican drug gang, you would be less displeased by your fate because not being Islamic, the kind of violence perpetrated on you would be less "evil".
