The number of people killed in terrorist attacks hit a record high in 2013 and is expected to increase further in 2014, according to a report released on Tuesday.


Nearly 18,000 people were killed in terrorist attacks in 2013, representing a 60% increase over 2012 when terror attacks claimed nearly 11,000 lives, according to the Global Terrorism Index, published by Sydney-based Institute for Economics and Peace.

According to the report, which uses data obtained from the US-based Global Terrorism Database, just five countries -- Iraq, Afghanistan, Pakistan, Nigeria and Syria -- accounted for over 80% of deaths from terrorism in 2013. Of these, Iraq fared the worst, with over 6,300 fatalities in 2013.

It also added that four terrorist groups -- al Qaeda, the Taliban, Boko Haram and the Islamic State group, which, until its eventual separation in February 2014, had close ties with al Qaeda -- were collectively responsible for 66% of deaths from claimed terrorist attacks.

Along with a rise in fatalities, terrorism also became more widespread in 2013, according to the report. The number of countries with 50 or more deaths increased to 24 in 2013, a 60% increase over 2012, when it stood at 15.

The report, released after the Islamic State group broadcast another video, this time showing the beheading of American hostage Abdul-Rahman Kassig, also raises questions over the effectiveness of the US-led "war on terror" in Iraq and Afghanistan, as the number of fatalities in terror-related attacks has steadily increased over the last 14 years.

According to the report, since 2000, there have been nearly 50,000 terrorist attacks that have killed a total of over 100,000 people. While the number of deaths stood at nearly 3,400 in 2000, it saw a five-fold increase in 2013.

"Over the last decade the increase in terrorism has been linked to radical Islamic groups whose violent theologies have been broadly taught," Steve Killelea, the executive chairperson of the Institute for Economics and Peace, said, in a statement. "To counteract these influences, moderate forms of Sunnis theologies need to be championed by Sunni Muslim nations. Given the theological nature of the problem it is difficult for outside actors to be influential."

However, the report also highlighted the need to view the numbers in context. According to the report, in the US, an individual was 64 times more likely to die in a homicide than from a terrorist attack, while in the UK, a person was 188 times more likely to be a victim of homicide than be killed in a terror attack.

For Erdogan and other Islamist like him, there is no such thing as 'radical Islam'.
 
Radical Islam is the reason behind many of the worlds most terror act
 
Radical Islam is nothing compared to radical democracy instigators. How many died in Arab springs? And still dying in Syria? How democracy reached Iraq and how has it been working? Ukraine is a democracy, and it sure has worked out for them beautifully:(

All radicals of any belief have one thing in common: they all try at all costs to make you believe what they believe and they will never stop.
 
But it's okay. Genuine scholars wrote a nice letter proving these are not Muslims doing the atrocities, so that makes it somebody else's problem.

That is true. Muslims don't do this. You have bad eggs everywhere. There are billions of muslims.

So it is up to others to clean up the mess being made by Muslim "bad eggs". Yup, makes sense. Got it.

Nahh...Just the ones responsible for making them until they become bad enough :coffee: OR finished serving THEIR purpose but were too stupid to neutralize them


Did I forget to mention that they repeated the mistake more times ...Hence, yes specifically these others need to clean up THEIR mess!
 
No such thing as radical Islam, Islam is perfect. Those "muslims" are zionists created by America.
 
Muslims have mostly been killed due to "radical Islam." But then how can u call that Islam? In Islam we are forbidden to kill and have wars with other Muslims. That's the problem in the Muslim world we got absolutely no unity.
