I’m confused by the chart from the ADL because it should show higher numbers for Islamists simply from the San Bernadino shooting, and the Pulse nightclub shooting.
Because anyone can make a chart say anything they want. It has no basis.Why does the citation from ADL ‘mean nothing’?
The map identifies fatal incidents involving the different ideological motives. Not the number of people that died.I’m confused by the chart from the ADL because it should show higher numbers for Islamists simply from the San Bernadino shooting, and the Pulse nightclub shooting.
Here is another report from a government source.Emeraldlady:![]()

For some reason I can’t post links. Is that a restriction on newbies?Can you provide citations from reliable sources
"The task before UNESCO… is to help the emergence of a single world culture. …at the moment, two opposing philosophies of life confront each other from the West and from the East… You may categorize the two philosophies as two super-nationalisms, or as individualism versus collectivism … or as capitalism versus communism, or as Christianity versus Marxism . Can these opposites be reconciled, this antithesis be resolved in a higher synthesis? …through the inexorable dialectic of evolution, it must happen…
● WHO (The World Health Organization) was led by Canadian psychiatrist Brock Chisholm. He summarized his socialist philosophy at a 1946 US conference on mental health. His message was published by the (now prestigious) magazine Psychiatry, and by his Communist friend, Alger Hiss in the socialist magazine, International Conciliation. Notice the obstacles to “mental health”:“In pursuing this aim, we must eschew [shun] dogma - whether it be theological dogma or Marxist dogma… East and West will not agree on a basis of the future if they merely hurl at each other the fixed ideas of the past. For that is what dogma’s are – the crystallizations of some dominant system of thought … If we are to achieve progress, we must learn to uncrystalize our dogmas.”
Those " poisonous certainties " include all the unchanging truths and values that can’t be compromised. That’s why Biblical Christianity was – and continues to be – incompatible with the world’s standards for “mental health.” Many who refuse to conform to the evolving guidelines for tolerance, inclusiveness, group dialogue and adaptability to the UN plan for “continual change” are facing severe consequences.5 [See “Ban truth, reap tyranny”]"Can we identify the reasons why we fight wars…? Many of them are easy to list – prejudice, isolationism, the ability to emotionally and uncritically to believe unreasonable things…
"The only psychological force capable of producing these perversions is morality, the concept of right and wrong… For many generations we have bowed our necks to the yoke of the conviction of sin. We have swallowed all manner of poisonous certainties fed us by our parents, our Sunday and day school teachers…
“Individuals who have emotional disabilities of their own – guilts, fears, inferiorities – are certain to project their hates on to others… Whatever the cost, we must learn to live in friendliness and peace with… all the people in the world…”
● UNESCO published a 1995 book titled Our Creative Diversity . It tells us that–“…absolute behavior control is imminent… The critical point of behavior control, in effect, is sneaking up on mankind without his self-conscious realization that a crisis is at hand. Man will… never self-consciously know that it has happened.”[1]
● Marc Tucker, the master-mind behind today’s global school-to-work system.“The challenge to humanity is to adopt new ways of thinking, new ways of acting, new ways of organizing itself in society, in short, new ways of living.”[2] (See Reinventing the World)
The above is what I guess I see as the roots of all of the movements I am going to post here if I can. I know this because all these authors make this information crystal clear.“[ Our objective ] will require a change in the prevailing culture – the attitudes, values, norms and accepted ways of doing things.”[3]"
I don’t think it would. The casualty numbers from 9/11, for example, depended on a massive number of different factors, most of which were out of the control of the perpetrators.Ah I see, thanks. Seems like total fatalities would tell a clearer story. Using that criteria the 9/11 attacks and, the Oklahoma City bombing would count as 1 each (if it was covering those years). Doesn’t really capture the severity.
Regardless I’m not a fan of either side, left or right, using these things as a political club. Whatever our differences the vast majority of people do not condone or support violent extremists from whatever persuasion. The blame needs to fall squarely on the sick perpetrators, unless there is a clear link to an organized movement such as ISIS, IRA, etc.
https://www.cato.org/blog/terrorism-deaths-ideology-charlottesville-anomalyReally it seems you’ve gone to a lot of effort without answering the question. Which of the terror events we are talking about, have been driven by these ideologies?
I’ll refer that information to RuthAnne as further evidence that far right extremism is more of a problem than far left extremism today.Emeraldlady:![]()

What precisely would be your point, since the article goes to great pains to explain that neither right (1 in 7 611 300 chance) nor left (1 in 165 132 125 chance) extremism is that much of a “problem” relative to all the other problems available to choose from?HarryStotle:![]()
