2 cops shot dead by Jihadists in Burkina Faso: https://news.mb.com.ph/2019/06/25/two-burkina-gendarmes-killed-in-terrorist-attack-in-north/

Arbinda has suffered a series of deadly attacks in recent months.

On June 10, 19 people were killed in a massive raid by several dozen assailants.

Another 62 people died in early April at the hands of jihadists and in subsequent inter-communal clashes.

Burkina Faso has suffered from increasingly frequent and deadly attacks attributed to a number of jihadist groups, including the Group to Support Islam and Muslims (GSIM) and Islamic State in the Greater Sahara

Updated tally:

Muslims: 31 attacks - 375 deaths
Right-wingers: 0 attacks - 0 deaths
Islamophobes: 0 attacks - 0 deaths

The Canadian Nazi Party may be labelled as terrorists, after a hate video and beatings at pride.

And funny how this one didn't make your list.
German police believe 'right-wing extremist' is responsible for politician's killing

Just shows this to be a typical right wing, Islamaphobic hate thread, a list of one side of wars casualties, rules that count out deaths by right wing governments and just ignoring other right wing terrorism.

ISIS suicide bomber kills 7 in Egypt: https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2019/06/egypt-7-policemen-killed-sinai-attack-190626094845949.html


Updated tally:

Muslims: 33 attacks - 402 deaths
Right-wingers: 0 attacks - 0 deaths
Islamophobes: 0 attacks - 0 deaths
When we are discussing closer to home and real terrorist killings, this is the reality:

Right-wing terrorists killed three times more people in US than Islamists in past decade with attacks soaring in 2018, report says:

Every terrorist murder in the US last year was linked to right-wing extremism, according to a new report.

At least 50 people were killed by an attacker connected to right-wing extremism in 2018, an increase of 35 per cent from the previous year, the Anti-Defamation League (ADL) found.

The rise means nearly three-quarters of extremist murders in America in the past decade can be linked to right-wing domestic terrorism, more than three times as many as those committed by Islamists.

The figures should “serve as a wake-up call to everyone about the deadly consequences of hateful rhetoric,” said the ADL, a New York-based organisation with monitors antisemitism and other hate crime.

It is difficult to believe that a lush, tropical vacation destination like the Caribbean nation of Trinidad and Tobago, a relatively prosperous country with full religious and legal freedoms, has produced more fighters per capita for the murderous Islamic State (ISIS) than any other country in the Western Hemisphere.

But, unfortunately for Trinidad and the civilized world, that is the tragic fact of the matter. While Muslims constitute only five per cent of the country’s population, according to the CIA’s World Factbook, a portion is “causing outsized global security concern,” states Todd Benson in the publication Center for Immigration Studies.

Unknown to most and largely unreported by the media, Trinidad, with only a population estimated between 1.2 and 1.5 million people, has sent at least 130 of its citizens to join the Islamic State. The United States, by contrast, with a population about 240 times larger than Trinidad’s, has sent about 250 to 300, about one per cent of the 30,000 foreigners who joined ISIS.

T. and T. citizens in ISIS “are high up in the ranks, they are very respected, and they are English-speaking. ISIL have used them for propaganda to spread their message through the Caribbean,” said John Estrada, former U.S. ambassador, to Trinidad and Tobago, adding Trinidadians did “very well” in ISIS.

Part of the problem was that no law existed in Trinidad that forbade joining ISIS until 2017; however, legislation was then introduced. But no reason has been given as to why Trinidad has such a strong, radical Islamic scene.

However, Dr. Simon Cottee of England’s Kent University, who has studied this Trinidadian phenomenon, has attempted to explain the attraction ISIS has for some of the island’s Muslims.

“Redemption through violent self-sacrifice is a pretty big draw,” Cottee said in Trinidad and Tobago News. “But I also think a lot of those Trinis who went truly believed that the ISIS caliphate was the real deal, a kind of Islamic utopia where they could go with their families and be spiritually saved.”

Trinidad is a nation whose population is split almost evenly between those of black African descent and those of East Indian origin, most of whom are Hindus. Both groups largely form separate political parties and separate churches and temples. Cottee dismisses the notion, though, that the jihadists came primarily from the island’s black population.

“Quite a few were Afro-Trinis who had converted to Islam,” Cottee said, “but many were born-Muslims from wealthy families of East Indian origin. Some had criminal records or pending court appearances while others were law-abiding and came from respectable families.”

But there was one curious aspect of this migration of Trinidad’s citizens to ISIS not found in any other Western country, and it concerns the number of children the Trinidadian recruits brought with them to ISIS territory. They numbered about 42, constituting what has been termed a “unique situation.”

“The most striking thing is the block recruitment of Trinis to ISIS,” said Cottee. “Entire families went. It was mothers, daughters, fathers and sons. According to my estimates about 30 per cent were men, 30 percent were women and the remainder – 40 percent were children. This is pretty unique because you don’t see this elsewhere in Europe.”

In the main, Cottee says ISIS volunteers from Europe were young men.

The United States' concern regarding Trinidad’s radical Islamic scene is not unwarranted.

Not per capita they dont. White people make up approximately 70% of US population, while muslims only make up 1.1%. Just wait until their numbers grow to around 5% to 9% like they have in Europe right now, you'll start seeing terrorist numbers like this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Islamic_terrorism_in_Europe

This is the week it became accurate to compare Trump to Hitler
From the “controversy” of AOC calling out concentration camps to the disgusting treatment of immigrant children
https://www.salon.com/2019/06/29/this-is-the-week-it-became-accurate-to-compare-trump-to-hitler/

Which should make every death by US armed forces count on the other ledger of Phil's list.

In some ways this is predictable. The Republican Party is the country's largest white identity organization. The two major parties are increasingly sorted by racial attitudes, and those white voters who are the most hostile towards nonwhites have found their natural home in the Republican Party. Conservatism is a system of motivated social cognition; racism and racial authoritarianism are among its key features. In today's extremely polarized environment, political values are a reflection of social identity. Because of this, whiteness rules supreme for many Trump and Republican voters.

The Muslim population in Canada currently is 3.2%, yes three times the number that you quoted and not far behind that in parts of Europe. Yet they were the biggest victims of the terrorist attacks in Canada. The extreme right wing singled them out along with the Jews. Most of the violence is also perpetrated by the extreme right in Canada.

Statistics also show that hate crimes are on the rise in Canada. Criminal incidents motivated by hate and reported to police rose by more than 60 per cent between 2014 and 2017, when 2,073 were reported.

Of these crimes, 38 per cent were violent offences, which included assault, uttering threats and criminal harassment. And according to Perry, most of the crimes documented by police are by individuals who are not currently part of a specific hate group, suggesting it’s a more pervasive problem than we might think.

This police data is based on incidents that have been substantiated by investigations and largely depends on victims’ willingness to report the crime. Perry explains that many factors may contribute to victims choosing not to report, including mistrust of police. “The police themselves have a history with anti-gay violence and anti-trans violence, so [people from these communities] are less likely to report.”

According to her research, Perry says, as much as 80 to 85 per cent of hate crimes go unreported.

Wrong! You conveniently leave out the fact that Canada got very lucky the RCMP foiled 2 major terrorist attacks Jihadis had planned.

1.) The Toronto 18: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2006_Ontario_terrorism_plot
2.) The VIA rail bombing: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2013_VIA_Rail_Canada_terrorism_plot

We dodged a bullet, but had these guys succeeded we'd be looking at hundreds of deaths, and that wouldve far exceeded any right-wing terrorism.

Remember, the title of my thread is terrorism "threats". A foiled attack is still a threat, regardless of whether it succeeds or not
