My email from Disqus says this post was you Leon Wolfeson.
I don’t know why you introduce the new theme of mental illness – it’s entirely off-topic.

Mental illness is not caused by religions, as much as you might try and smear large proportions of the British as mentally ill.

Or your far right. You’re still an infidel to them.

The link you provided is to a rather hyped-up web page.
It contains like to some Europol police reports
– https://www.europol.europa.eu/sites/default/files/publications/europol_tsat14_web_1.pdf

which are claimed to support this idea that religious terrorism is effectively too small to worry about.

However, reading those Europol reports in context, shows that the truth is quite the opposite!

From page 1 :

> The majority of EU Member States continue to consider religiously inspired terrorism as a major threat, as evidenced by the significant increase in the number of arrests.

More worrying, Europol suggest that some countries are under-reporting Islamic violence:

> No attacks related to single-issue terrorism were reported in 2013. EU Member States did not report any religiously inspired terrorist attacks 2013. However, in at least two attacks, including the murder of the British soldier, the role of religious extremism appears to be evident.

Wow – That is shocking: that Lee Rigby’s killing has been reported by the UK authorities as something other than religiously inspired terrorism.

France’s statistics too report no religiously motivated terrorism, and yet:
> On 25 May 2013, just three days after the aforementioned attack, a French soldier was targeted in a non-fatal knife attack in La Défense near Paris (France) by an individual who converted to Islam and radicalised in an extremely short period of time.

Let’s looks at the evidence of the Europol report. Where does it mention religiously inspired terrorism:

The foreword:

– 2nd sentence:
> groups or individuals linked to religiously inspired terrorism..

> growing threat from EU citizens, having travelled to conflict zones to engage in terrorist activity … Syria

Page 1 of the Report:

> The largest proportion of terrorist attacks … were separatist groups, although the number significantly decreased in 2013. Most separatist incidents, however, were small-scale.

> The majority of EU Member States continue to consider religiously inspired terrorism as a major threat, as evidenced by the significant increase in the number of arrests. Two attacks and several disrupted plots in 2013 illustrate this threat.

> The numbers of EU citizens travelling to Syria in particular, including those intending to fight alongside al-Qaeda-affiliated groups, were already substantial and rising, and increased significantly in 2013. … In the wake of the Syrian conflict, the threat to the EU is likely to increase exponentially.

I’ve leave the reader to read the full report- the overall feeling it gives is that religiously terrorism is the prime terrorism concern in Europe.

Does it? In the last 5 years, less than 2% of terrorist attacks in Europe have been religiously motivated: http://thebea.st/1CcU08q. And thats even before we get onto the question of whether drone attacks by the West should be regarded as “terrorism”.
