Why most Terrorists are Muslims?

Crime is perpetrated, if it's crime committed by non Muslims, it's a crime. If it's crime committed by Muslims, it's called terrorism. These two words "crime and terrorist" are thrown into the mix depending on your ethnicity or religious beliefs.

The new definition of crime committed by Muslims is "terrorism". You don't have to agree but this is my opinion.

I think it's largely because it makes it more palatable to the Western media audiences to ignore the horrific conditions of North and some of Central Africa. Classic bait and switch. Everyone look over here at all the terrible things happening over here! Don't look over there!

@UndeadPrivateer: One prime example is RT, the amount of Americans who praise Putin based on the vomit thrown by RT is beyond comprehension. I've seen American wishing to leave America for Russia, laughable. Russians are trying to get out of Russia and Americans are willing to trade place. They won't last a week in those outdated villages.

@LostInTheDesert: There's definitely a very serious problem going on right now with people having an acute inability to see propaganda for what it is. But there's also a bunch of strange geopolitical factors that go into focusing the world's attention away from Africa. There are a bunch of natural minerals that are important to manufacturing electronics which are in very rich concentrations in Africa and now, with the fall of the diamond trade, are being used as the oil to turn the cogs of the African war machine. And none of the "civilized" nations want to put in the work and capital to turn it all legit and risk a sharp rise in electronics prices, so instead they turn a blind eye and let Africa do its own thing while they use the resources outsourced through black market channels and then laundered through various less-sterling global powers who don't care about the sources of their product.(Like China.)

All this means that there's a reason for big business to not be looking at Africa, they know that if they throw a wrench into the cogs over there then it could bring their entire corporate machine to a grinding halt. So they're not gonna risk it and are instead going to allow for the further loss of human life and humanitarian crises in exchange for their nickel, gold, platinum and palladium.

Complicated situation to resolve, to say the least.

@UndeadPrivateer: You're absolutely spot on, the continuance raping of minerals and resources in Africa is undetected because media is keeping people busy by switching their focus to other issues.

So when it's group like Houthis, Lords resistance army, the ethnic cleansing happening in many countries killing millions of people throughout history, it's a crime. Why aren't they called terrorists? This is merely to tarnish Islam.

I'm studying in the US as a student. I am still very much from the East.

Timothy McVeigh,Terry Nichols And Micheal Fortier (OKC Bomber's) were domestic terrorists. Terrorism has nothing to do with skin tone but with ones actions despite what some may think.

Regardless of the detailed answer you've given, the question is wrong in my opinion. You should probably have asked "why most Terrorists are considered Muslims?"
Anyway, those who commit crimes in the name of Islam are NOT Muslims. They only wrongfully give a bad image about Islam and they do NOT belong to Islam.
Besides, the word Terrorism when connected to Islam and Muslims in media is so attractive nowadays, this is why they like to always use it.
And this is so unfair!!

@meemo70:
يَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُواْ إِذَا ضَرَبْتُمْ فِي سَبِيلِ اللّهِ فَتَبَيَّنُواْ وَلاَ تَقُولُواْ لِمَنْ أَلْقَى إِلَيْكُمُ السَّلاَمَ لَسْتَ مُؤْمِنًا تَبْتَغُونَ عَرَضَ الْحَيَاةِ الدُّنْيَا فَعِندَ اللّهِ مَغَانِمُ كَثِيرَةٌ كَذَلِكَ كُنتُم مِّن قَبْلُ فَمَنَّ اللّهُ عَلَيْكُمْ فَتَبَيَّنُواْ إِنَّ اللّهَ كَانَ بِمَا تَعْمَلُونَ خَبِيرًا

@IstillmissEP: I think it is worse, it is denying responsibility for terror that is fed by the teaching of the Quran

Terrorism is caused by people of all races not only muslims

Thank you.

Maybe, recently most civilians being bombed by foreign nations have been Muslims. I dunno.
LostInTheDesert · 31-35, F
The media plays a big part in trying to tarnish Islam.
Mordi · 31-35, M
I guess that helps with whatever private interests some countries have in the Middle East.
nope...sure 95% of muslim are just good neighbors..like the one I have...
Syria...safe havens can be build...to stop the flow of immigration
LostInTheDesert · 31-35, F
That's very true.
Dreammmer · 56-60, M
I disagree. There are clear defintions of terrorism and crime. Muslims commit crimes and terror attacks. Other people do that also.
Dreammmer · 56-60, M
@LostInTheDesert: Yes that is ok, but it also tells me that you dont like anything that does not match your theory. Yes you have a right to have your opinion even though your opinion does not match with reality. To me that is an example of being closed minded. You agree?
LostInTheDesert · 31-35, F
@Dreammmer: Disagree with your last sentence, I'm very open minded and let's not hide the fact that every crime committed by Muslims are automatically put into the terrorist box first.
Dreammmer · 56-60, M
@LostInTheDesert: I dont see that happen, most crimes committed by muslims dont even get covered on the internet just because it is too trivial. Whether theft, arsony, burglary, fraud, etc. are nowhere classified as terrorism. Those are crimes and not terror acts.
AnonymousJSS · 22-25, F
What? Are you asking why most Muslims are terrorists, or are you telling us who commits most crimes?
iMystery · M
I dont believe she is saying either...
LostInTheDesert · 31-35, F
I gave an answer to the question I asked.
