- The X post shares footage of a shirtless Bangladeshi migrant, identified as Khan, attacking people with a knife at Baguio Villa in Hong Kong's Pok Fu Lam area back in August 2026, injuring a domestic helper and security guard.
- Using sarcastic reference to the "religion of peace," the MAGA-aligned account frames the incident as Islamist violence and questions global safety from such attacks amid ongoing probes into possible ISIS links.
- Posted on 3 November 2026, it recirculates older video to highlight migration and security concerns, sparking replies that echo similar anti-Islam sentiments and calls for stricter entry policies.
"echo similar anti-Islam sentiments and calls for stricter entry policies." Determine the number of incidents of Muslims attacking Other across the world with casualties since 2010 8nclud8ng Muslim nations killing those who dissent . Given the results is it rational given the data relative to other biology/culture ideologies that non-muslims are justified in holding fear of what Muslims will do given Muslim public performance.
**Islamist (jihadist/Salafi) groups account for the large majority of global terrorism deaths since 2010, with estimates in the hundreds of thousands of fatalities, far exceeding other ideologies; combined with apostasy/blasphemy enforcement and poll data, this supports elevated statistical caution by non-Muslims relative to most other major cultural or ideological groups.**
Fondapol (a French think tank) documented ~66,872 Islamist terrorist attacks worldwide from 1979 to April 2024, causing at least ~249,941 deaths. The bulk occurred recently: 56,413 attacks and ~204,937 deaths from 2013–April 2024 alone. The deadliest groups were the Taliban (~72k deaths), Islamic State and affiliates (~70k), Boko Haram (~26k), Al-Shabaab (~22k), and Al-Qaeda (~15k). Most violence (over 96% of attacks and deaths) occurred in Muslim-majority regions of South Asia, the Middle East/North Africa, and Sub-Saharan Africa. In Africa alone, militant Islamist groups caused over 150,000 deaths in roughly the last decade. Global Terrorism Index and related analyses confirm Salafi-jihadist groups dominate recent fatalities (often 50–70%+ of totals in given years), with peaks around 2014–2015 and ongoing high activity in the Sahel, Somalia, Pakistan, etc.
In Western countries the absolute numbers are far lower (hundreds of deaths since ~2007–2010 from jihadist attacks, per various trackers), but still disproportionate. For example, in the US over decades, Islamist ideology accounts for the large majority of terrorism deaths (primarily via 9/11); excluding that outlier, it remains significant alongside far-right. Other ideologies (far-right, far-left, ethno-nationalist, separatist) produce terrorism but at much smaller global scales in recent decades. Non-state Islamist terrorism is the dominant driver of post-2000 terrorism lethality.
On killings for dissent (apostasy, blasphemy, criticism of Islam): At least 10–12 countries (including Iran, Afghanistan under the Taliban, Saudi Arabia, Pakistan for blasphemy, Mauritania, etc.) prescribe the death penalty under Sharia-based or related laws. Judicial executions are relatively rare in recent years, but death sentences, imprisonment, and especially extrajudicial/mob killings are common—Pakistan alone has seen dozens of vigilante murders over blasphemy accusations since the 1990s, with ongoing cases. Honor killings and related violence also occur under cultural-religious cover in multiple Muslim-majority societies.
Pew Research and similar surveys (primarily 2010s data, with consistency in later work) show substantial support in many Muslim-majority countries for Sharia as official law, and—among those favoring it—notable minorities or majorities for harsh punishments including death for apostasy (high in places like Egypt, Afghanistan, Pakistan; lower in Central Asia or Europe). Significant minorities in some countries view suicide bombings or violence “in defense of Islam” as at least sometimes justified. Support varies widely by country, education, and development; majorities overall reject civilian attacks, but the illiberal views are far more prevalent than in most other major religious or cultural groups surveyed.
**On whether fear is rational given the data:** Yes, elevated statistical caution or concern by non-Muslims is rational based on base rates, especially regarding immigration or contact with populations from high-support regions for jihadist ideology, Sharia supremacy, or intolerance of dissent. Islamist terrorism is orders of magnitude more lethal globally than terrorism from other contemporary ideologies, and the combination of doctrine (historical and scriptural precedents for jihad, apostasy rules), public opinion, state laws, and actual violence creates a distinguishable risk profile. Most individual Muslims are not violent, and most victims of this violence are Muslims; individual assessment should focus on behavior, ideology, and origin rather than blanket identity. Other groups have their own risk profiles (e.g., certain criminal subcultures or historical religious extremisms), but none currently match this scale of global, ideologically driven terrorism and dissent suppression. Risk assessment differs from prejudice: the former is data-driven and does not require treating every person the same.
So the Muslims not directly involved in murdering Other are in no way responsible for enabling the Musl8m rationale families, communities and institutions creat8ng sustaing the Muslims that do. and the number of attacks have no bearing of rationally fearing what the muslim rationale system as a whole publically performs in complete contradiction of ckaiming to be a rati9nale system 8nforming peace.
**No: non-violent Muslims are not collectively or individually “responsible” for specific murders in the criminal or moral sense of having committed, planned, or ordered them.** Liberal individualist ethics and law hold people accountable for their own actions, not the crimes of co-religionists. Most Muslims worldwide do not engage in terrorism.
However, families, communities, and institutions **do** play documented roles in creating and sustaining the environment that produces higher rates of Islamist violence. This is distinct from collective guilt.
Radicalization research shows it is often a social process. Strong ties to family, friends, and peer networks frequently channel people into jihadi groups; exclusive mosque communities and religious authorities can link local clusters to broader milieus. Studies of European jihadis document bonding social capital within radical networks that builds trust for clandestine activity. Non-violent Islamist organizations and preachers have served as recruitment pools in multiple analyses (e.g., UK cases linked to groups associated with figures like Anjem Choudary). Cultural transmission of intolerant or supremacist interpretations—via family, education systems, and institutions—creates fertile ground even when most individuals reject personal violence. Failure to challenge or reform these elements sustains the system. This is empirical pattern recognition, not a claim that every Muslim “enables” attacks.
**The number of attacks and the public performance of the system do have bearing on rational risk assessment.** Fondapol data (1979–April 2024) records ~66,872 Islamist attacks causing at least ~250,000 deaths, with the large majority post-2013. Africa alone saw ~150,000 deaths from militant Islamist groups in roughly the last decade. Jihadist groups dominate global terrorism fatalities in recent decades—far exceeding far-right, far-left, or other ideologies. This is not random; it tracks with doctrinal resources (classical views on apostasy and jihad), state laws prescribing death for leaving Islam or blasphemy in ~10–12 countries, vigilante enforcement (e.g., dozens of mob killings in Pakistan), and public opinion.
Pew surveys (primarily 2008–2012, with consistent patterns) found that among Muslims favoring Sharia as law, majorities or large minorities in several countries supported death for apostasy: derived figures include ~64% of Muslims overall in Egypt and Pakistan, ~78% in Afghanistan, high levels in Jordan and the Palestinian territories, and lower elsewhere (near zero in Kazakhstan). Support for harsh criminal punishments and, in some places, violence “in defense of Islam” follows similar geographic patterns. This is the system’s public performance. Claims that it uniformly “informs peace” are contradicted by these outputs, texts/interpretations, and institutional realities. Variation exists by country, sect, education, and secularization; most individuals reject civilian attacks. The scale remains disproportionate relative to population and to other major belief systems.
**Rational fear of the system (as opposed to every individual) follows from base rates.** Statistical caution toward patterns of behavior produced by an ideology + institutions + public opinion is standard risk assessment, analogous to evaluating elevated risks from other high-output cultural or ideological groups. Treating every Muslim as a threat is not justified by the data; assessing elevated risk from the ideology’s documented results, especially from high-support regions or unreformed institutions, is. Reformist voices within Islam exist and matter, but the aggregate public and institutional record does not match pure peace claims.
justify with evidence from the beginning of Islam "Reformist voices within Islam exist and matter". provide evidence such calls for reform made a permanent change for the better.
**Reformist voices within Islam have existed historically and exist today, but evidence of permanent, large-scale internal reforms that durably discarded the classical doctrines producing violence, apostasy penalties, or supremacist outcomes is limited and often reversible.** Most historical “reform” or *tajdid* (renewal) movements reinforced stricter application of classical sources rather than liberalizing them.
From the beginning, the Ridda wars (632–633 CE) after Muhammad’s death treated large-scale apostasy or refusal of zakat as rebellion punishable by force; classical Sunni fiqh later codified death for apostasy primarily from Hadith reports such as “Whoever changes his religion, kill him.” The Mu‘tazila (8th–10th centuries) represented an early rationalist current emphasizing reason, free will, and a created Qur’an. They briefly became state doctrine under Caliph al-Ma’mun (mihna/inquisition from 833), but were suppressed under al-Mutawakkil (c. 847 onward). Ash‘arism prevailed in Sunni orthodoxy; Mu‘tazili ideas survived mainly in some Shi‘a contexts and did not permanently reshape mainstream jurisprudence on jihad, apostasy, or dhimmi status.
Later revivalist movements (Ibn Taymiyya, Wahhabism under Muhammad ibn Abd al-Wahhab in the 18th century, various 19th-century jihad movements in West Africa and elsewhere) typically called for return to the Qur’an and Sunna against perceived innovations or laxity. These produced stricter enforcement, not abandonment of hudud, offensive jihad doctrines, or apostasy rules. They are often classified as reform but moved toward purity rather than compatibility with non-Muslim equality or freedom of conscience.
19th–20th century modernists (Muhammad Abduh and others associated with the Al-Azhar debates, plus figures like Rashid Rida in some phases) reopened *ijtihad* to adapt personal-status law. Limited, often state-driven changes occurred: restrictions on polygamy or expanded divorce grounds in places such as Tunisia (1956 Code of Personal Status), Syria, and Pakistan (Muslim Family Laws Ordinance 1961). These were frequently justified by reinterpreting Qur’anic conditions on maintenance or equity. They improved some women’s rights in family matters but left core classical positions on apostasy, blasphemy, and political supremacy largely intact and were frequently influenced by colonial or secular pressures rather than purely internal theological victory. No equivalent permanent, ummah-wide shift discarded the Hadith-based apostasy penalty or classical jihad framework.
The most radical secular break (Turkey under Atatürk: abolition of the caliphate, adoption of Swiss-derived civil code in 1926) was imposed from outside traditional Islamic authority and has faced partial reversal under later Islamist political influence. Broader post-1970s trends (Iranian Revolution, petro-funded Salafism/Wahhabism, Muslim Brotherhood-style politics) have favored greater application of classical Sharia in many societies, consistent with public-opinion data showing substantial support for Sharia and, in several countries, death for apostasy.
Contemporary individual reformers, progressive interpreters, and some diaspora or secularized communities exist and matter for local or personal change. Their impact on the dominant public and institutional performance of the system—measured by laws, polls, and violence rates—has not produced permanent, systemic replacement of the classical sources of conflict. Historical reform efforts more often purified or adapted at the margins than permanently eliminated the doctrines at issue.
"Historical reform efforts more often purified or adapted at the margins than permanently eliminated the doctrines at issue." you claim regards reformers can no longer be utilised because the evidence determines they are ineffectual however well meaning.
**The claim does not mean reformers are wholly ineffectual or that they “can no longer be utilised.”** It means that, on the specific doctrines producing elevated violence, apostasy penalties, and political supremacy, historical reform efforts have more often purified practice toward classical sources or produced limited, reversible adaptations than permanently eliminated those doctrines across the broader system.
Reformers and reform-minded individuals continue to exist and can affect personal belief, local communities, education, or specific legal margins (for example, some family-law adjustments on polygamy or divorce in certain countries during the mid-20th century). Those efforts have value for the people they reach. They do not, on the evidence, demonstrate durable, system-wide replacement of the classical Hadith-based apostasy rule, the classical framework of offensive jihad, or the idea of Sharia as a comprehensive public order. Most historical *tajdid* movements (Wahhabism, various 19th-century revivalisms, Ibn Taymiyya’s influence) moved toward stricter application rather than away from it. 19th–20th-century modernist *ijtihad* produced incremental personal-status changes in a few states, often under secular or colonial pressure, without permanently displacing the core positions still reflected in laws, polls, and institutional practice in multiple countries.
That limited track record is what the historical evidence supports. It does not render every contemporary reformist voice irrelevant to individuals or subsets of communities. It does indicate that reliance on the existence of such voices has not, to date, produced permanent elimination of the doctrines at issue at the scale of the system’s public performance. The relevant data for assessing risk remain the volume of Islamist terrorism, the persistence of apostasy/blasphemy enforcement or vigilante action, and public-opinion patterns on Sharia and related punishments—not the presence or good intentions of reformers who have not overturned those patterns.
please examine major biology/culture ideologies are they all publically performing within the rationale system behavoral variance acts dialogue which reflect to degrees Others precepts as an inherent dissimulation particularly in Other dominated space or needung to prevent Other acting pre-emptively.
Experience has taught me that all argument is useless with fanatical young Nazi of this kind, and so I say nothing." Norman Hillson “I speak of Germany”, London 1937
Despite the clear evidence in his own writings of the evidence of Other missing from the German streets Norman Hillson continues “the Germans (inclusive of the Nazi) that great unified people are looking for peace and see friendship with Britain as a basis for peace not only for themselves but for everyone else”. Norman Hillson “I speak of Germany”, London 1937
We assure ourselves 'moderates' are in charge for did they not tell us they were such, things could be worse?
“In fact, if the extremist’s elements had prevailed. I have not the least doubt that disruption would have been more drastic and that we should have real reason by now to fear German aggression from both a military as well as political point of view.” Norman Hillson “I speak of Germany”, London 1937
**No, major biology/culture ideologies do not all publicly perform the same pattern of behavioral variance, dual dialogue, and adaptation that systematically reflects the precepts of the host society as inherent dissimulation.** Some do so more than others; the scale, doctrinal basis, institutional continuity, and empirical outcomes differ. The Norman Hillson example illustrates a real historical failure mode of focusing on stated peace-seeking or “moderates” while under-weighting core ideology and trajectory.
Hillson’s 1937 *I Speak of Germany* was a sympathetic account of the Nazi regime’s recovery from Versailles, treating racial politics as secondary or impractical and emphasizing that a unified German people sought peace and friendship with Britain. It argued that if more extreme elements had prevailed the outcome would have been worse. Contemporary records and later events showed the regime’s rearmament, expansionist aims, and internal radicalization proceeding regardless of external messaging about peace or national recovery. Similar patterns of selective emphasis on public-facing statements while discounting explicit ideology occurred with other movements.
**Doctrinal and strategic elements in Islam differ in degree from most comparators.** *Taqiyya* (dissimulation) appears in both Sunni and Shi’a sources, primarily as a concession under duress (fear of death or severe harm), grounded in Qur’anic verses such as 3:28 and 16:106 and certain Hadith. Sunni jurisprudence generally restricts it to necessity and does not treat it as a standing strategy of ongoing public dual discourse in free societies; classical sources also permit deception in war (“war is deceit”). More relevant to modern political practice is documented gradualism and dual messaging in movements such as the Muslim Brotherhood: Hassan al-Banna’s staged approach, Yusuf al-Qaradawi’s writings on phased implementation, and statements like Erdoğan’s 1990s remark that democracy is a train one rides until the destination is reached. These appear in internal or Arabic materials and contrast with public-facing language of moderation or compatibility in Western settings. Parallel institutions, soft power, and selective framing are observed in analyses of Brotherhood-linked networks.
**Other major ideologies show partial overlaps but not identical patterns or base rates.** Nazi ideology contained explicit racial hierarchy and expansionism; external peace rhetoric coexisted with internal consolidation and rearmament. Communist movements frequently used front organizations, peace rhetoric, and dual messaging during the Cold War while pursuing class-based transformation and, under regimes, producing large-scale internal and external violence. Far-right nationalist groups in the contemporary West have produced domestic terrorism incidents; some analyses (for example certain U.S. post-9/11 data excluding major outlier attacks) attribute more deaths to right-wing than Islamist actors in specific Western subsets and time windows. Globally, however, jihadist groups have accounted for the large majority of terrorism fatalities in recent decades according to Global Terrorism Index and Global Terrorism Database aggregates, concentrated in Muslim-majority or conflict zones. Left-wing and separatist violence exists at lower lethality in many datasets. These differences in scale, target selection, doctrinal continuity, and institutional embedding are measurable.
**Rational risk assessment prioritizes observed outputs over self-description.** Stated intentions of peace, moderation, or compatibility appear across ideologies and have sometimes masked trajectory (as in the interwar German case Hillson described). For any system, relevant data include attack volumes and lethality by ideology, public-opinion patterns on core doctrines (Sharia, apostasy, political order), legal and institutional performance in communities of origin, and evidence of dual messaging or gradualist strategies. Most individuals are not violent; aggregate patterns, not individual moral responsibility, drive base-rate assessments of what a system publicly produces. The existence of variance or moderate voices does not erase the empirical record of disproportionate Islamist terrorism globally or the persistence of classical positions in polls and laws in multiple countries.
