The murdering spree by two gunmen on the offices of a French satirical
magazine have incited horror across the world. That’s completely
justified. But what’s been lost in the mass outpourings of solidarity
and condemnations of barbarity is the fact that so few of the terrorist
attacks carried out in European Union countries are related to Islamist
militancy. In fact, in the last five years, less than 2 percent of all
terrorist attacks in the E.U. have been “religiously motivated.”

In 2013, there were 152 terrorist attacks in the EU. Two of them were
“religiously motivated.” In 2012, there were 219 terrorist attacks in EU
countries, six of them were “religiously motivated.”

In 2011, not one of the 174 terrorist attacks in EU countries in 2011
were “affiliated or inspired” by terrorist organizations. 2010, 249
terrorist attacks, three of them were considered by Europol to be
“Islamist.” In 2009, of 294 terrorist attacks, only one was related to
Islamist militancy – though Europol added the caveat, “Islamist
terrorists still aim to cause mass casualties.”

*Muslim-American Terrorism in 2013*

Sixteen Muslim-Americans were indicted for or killed during violent
terrorist plots in 2013, similar to the 2012 total of 14, bringing the
total since 9/11 to 225, or less than 20 per year (see Figure 1). Six
individuals plotted attacks in the United States(see Figure 2), the
fewest since 2008.Muslim-American terrorism plots in 2013 included the
bombing at the Boston Marathon on April 15, which claimed four lives,
plus one of the suspects, and injured more than 200 people, including
more than a dozen people who suffered amputations. This incident
involved the first U.S. fatalities from Muslim-American terrorism since
the shooting at Fort Hood in Texas in 2009. Meanwhile, the United States
suffered approximately 14,000 murders in 2013. Since 9/11,
Muslim-American terrorism has claimed 37 lives in the United States
(Figure 3),out of more than 190,000 murders during this period. The
Boston Marathon bombing was one of 30 mass killings in 2013 with four or
more fatalities, according to data compiled by USA Today. The deadliest
incident, the shooting at the Washington Navy Yard on September 16,
killed 12 people. Mass killings in 2013 led to 137 fatalities, more than
three times the victims killed by Muslim-American terrorism in the
United States since 9/11.
