List of Islamic Terror Attacks

Islamic Terror
on American Soil

Following the horrific slaughter of thousands on 9/11, only one Muslim in America was killed in a vigilante "revenge" attack.  This was Waqar Hasan, a convenience storeowner who was gunned down by a Mark Anthony Stroman, a White Supremacist in Texas who went on to shoot two more people in the following weeks.

For anyone keeping score:
 
People killed by radical Muslims on 9/11: 2,977
Muslim-Americans killed "in revenge": 1

Thankfully, an American jury sentenced Mark Stroman to death.  The same cannot be said of many Muslim terrorists, including Palestinian mass murderers who who kill children.  They are not only celebrated in some circles, but have even been invited to perform the Haj at Mecca - without a peep of protest from Muslim groups or individuals.

The overwhelming obsession with "Islamophobia" is not supported by statistics. In fact, since 9/11, an additional 208 persons have been killed in 70 separate acts of deadly Islamic terror or Islam-related honor killing in the United States.  Hundreds of mass murder plots have been thwarted or botched.  The real story is not "Islamophobia" but American tolerance - which rightly refuses to punish the individual based on group identity.

It was not until 2026, 25 years after 9/11, that an ideologically-motivated attack claimed Muslim lives in the United States. The highly disturbed teen shooters who murdered three innocent people at a San Diego mosque offered a manifesto indicating that Islam was just one of many issues with which they had a problem.

As the Muslim population increases in the United States, so too will the number of Islamic terror attacks.  This is because the pool from which the radicals recruit grows bigger.  Studies show that between 5 - 25% of Muslims in America believe that violence in defense of Islam is justified.  The number of potential terrorists therefore grows proportionately with the overall number, even if only a very small minority actually plot attacks.

Unfortunately, successive generations have proven to be more radical and more dangerous than their migrant parents (speaking in general terms).  Muslim migration thus means that more Americans will die.  The benefits that offset this reality are not entirely clear.
