Don’t believe the fearmongers

Worldwide decline in deaths due to terrorism over the last 5 years

The reason this isn’t widely understood is that official figures include civilian deaths in Iraq, which is a war zone and would not normally have been included. Similar conflicts in past years, such as Sudan, have not been included. The actual figures are 20% of the numbers usually quoted as terrorist deaths, therefore.

But this, to me, is the most significant finding of the Canadian study:

“[An] extraordinary drop in support for Islamist terror organizations in the Muslim world over the past five years.”
