No one I know thinks the middle east is full of howling madmen, but it is full of terrorist. At no time in history did Irish terrorists out number muslim terrorist. Since 9/11 over 20,000 acts of terror have been committed by muslims. As a matter of fact they have been committing terror since their religion came into being. Their record of death is only exceeded by that of communists.
And your source for that “20,000” is? And your definition of “act of terror” is? And I don’t accept television or religious sources and definitions.
Like I said, I’ve traveled there a lot, and you obviously haven’t.
