You did ask "anywhere in the world" and I did not even bring up the IRA (I'm sure a lot of those guys were Muslims, right?) who during one 3 year period carried out 1300 bombings. I can't even get a total of how many they managed between the late 60's and mid 90's because there were so frickin' many. I bet you went out and protested in the streets all those years too because you're Irish as well as Christian...right?In fact when it comes to acts of terrorism over the course of history the Christians have a far longer and varied track record of sustained and prolonged violence...of course many of these little items were never referred to as terrorism but you know what they say about history and who writes it...so your point would be?Or are we now on a new clock that counts just "Muslim" acts of "terror" that only goes back to 2001?
