I'm glad someone acknowledged this milestone on IBA.
There was a good article in FrontPage Magazine about this called A Grim Milestone Ignored. Here is an excerpt:
With such seemingly incomprehensible carnage, I ask Reinsford (the fact-compiler and creator of TheReligionOfPeace.com) if there were any particular incidents that stand out, and he identified three (qualifying that he could easily identify 15 more):
* Nadimarg, India (3/23/03), dozens of Hindu villagers roused out of their beds and machine-gunned by Lashkar-e-Toiba (LeT) Islamists.
* Beslan, Russia (9/3/04), some 350 people slaughtered by Islamic militants - half of them children.
* Malatya, Turkey (4/18/07), three Christian Bible distributors are tied up, tortured for hours then gruesomely murdered by men who acted explicitly in the name of Islam.
For me (Patrick Poole, the author of the FrontPage article), a September 2006 Washington Post article stands out concerning an attack targeting Shi’ite women and children stands out, when a Sunni suicide bomber detonated a kerosene fuel bomb filled with ball bearings (for added effect) ripped through a crowd waiting in line to buy fuel. The Post described the horrific scene:
The horrific blast sent women engulfed in flames screaming through the streets. Two preteen girls embraced each other as they burned to death, witnesses said. Later, wailing mourners thronged the scene of the blast, which was strewn with the shoes of victims and a woman's bloodied cloak, and voiced doubt that the reprisal violence would ever end.
While many Muslim organizations in the West expend considerable effort portraying themselves as victims of Western “Islamophobia”, very little is said by those groups about the fact that many of the countless victims of Islamic terrorism are Muslims themselves. There are certainly no public protests by organizations like CAIR in recognition of those Muslims murdered and maimed by Muslims, though they are quick to cite the number of civilians accidentally killed by US forces in Iraq and Afghanistan (though Reinsford notes that while 225 Iraqis were killed in collateral damage incidents in 2006, there were 16,791 Iraqi civilians killed by Islamic terrorists that same year).
Reinsford says that the skewed perspective of ignoring the toll Islamic terrorism takes on Muslims stems from a failure by Muslim leaders to recognize the glaring problems that are resident in the heart of their own community.
Yes, most of the victims of Islamic terror are Muslim, yet there is very little outrage on the part of the Islamic world to terror, relative to, say, a Muhammad cartoon or an "insult to Islam" by a public figure. What does this tell us about the priorities of Islam?
10,023 terrorist attacks since 9/11 according to the count from the Religion of Peace website, when I saw this I decided to look around to see if anybody else had noticed if this grim total had now reached five figures.
The best one I found was in the Telegraph where it sites the number of attacks in the last week alone.
These attacks have happened in lands far away from ours but these attacks demonstrate that Islam is far from giving up on increasing its death toll and is still highly active and motivated.
Their quest to dominate and destroy goes on and we in the UK must not be complacent, we must not give an inch, we must not allow Islam to grow.
