To answer this question, we need to get a handle on what terrorism is. Just to make things simple, I think the basic definition listed on Wikipedia is reasonable: "the use of violence or threat of violence in the pursuit of political aims, religious, or ideological change." This definition comes ...
The question was about whether or not Islamic terror constitutes most of terrorism. If you want to cherry pick latest attacks, go ahead and try. But you have to also account for the fact that the US dropped over 26,000 bombs in 2016 alone.
@DanielGoldman cherry picking, from the front page of that evil super right leaning conspiracy news source that is the BBC. You can still be critical of the USA without trying to change the meaning of words.
Daniel, I did not create that definition, nor have you provided reasonable counter argument. If you think the answer is wrong, go ahead and post your own answer and make sure to justify your definition.
The attacks by the US are directed at such targets, and there has been no declaration of war by the US since WWII, meaning that the actions are not legal. And ISIS has declared war, so is it not terrorism when they attack?
@DanielGoldman what is the difference between your definition of terrorism and any other violence, signs like if a cop shoots anyone, now the cops a terrorist since he is in the pursuit of the political aim of maintaining the status quo
@daniel, I am not going to go into why I think that I am at -5 votes. That's appeal to consensus. You can answer the question yourself or just stop. I am not wasting more time with you.
