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!

Like I said below, media plays a big part. They're merely a mouthpiece for whoever pay the bills.

@LostInTheDesert: Geopolitical craziness abounds these days.

@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 They won't last a week in those outdated villages.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.
