Orange is winning the productivity race.

I think it's more a crimson than that.

Man that is it for 16 years? Hardly seems worth all the fuss.

Looks like we should be doing whatever we did in 2010.  No attacks, apparently (though the creator of this graphic might just have forgotten that the number that comes after 9 is 10, not 11).
The future is all around us, waiting, in moments of transition, to be born in moments of revelation. No one knows the shape of that future or where it will take us. We know only that it is always born in pain.   -G'Kar

It's a mistake to only look at succesful attacks.
The white far right have tried to kill a lot more than they've managed to, they're just incompetent.

Also let's not forget that the reason Islamic extremists with their low kill count can take the top spot is thanks in large part to the EU that these Islamophobe types so hate. If they have their way we'll soon see Daesh struggling to remain relevant in the media as the IRA, ETA et al get back to business.

Well, I suppose you could add in the death toll from unsuccessful attacks, but adding zero to the totals wouldn't actually change them.

I see no mention in this thread yet, but apparently in searching the home of the school shooter of the moment they found a bunch of far right shit.
Possible hoax. Who knows.

I did notice that a lot of the people in the community had Jewish names, some of the parents had Israeli accents and the Chief of the Police, Scott Israel, mentioned they wouldn't be working on the Sabbath.
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

A far right group had already claimed his was a member, I believe.

Didn't notice that, but I don't doubt you're right about the names*; doubly sad if that was part of his motivation.

Also that might tie-in with the nearly emboldened far-right in the US.


* yes I now recall the police chiefs name, but didn't attach any note to it at the time.

ISS attack on church worshipers in Europe:

Quote
Dagestan church shooting leaves five dead in Kizlyar12 minutes ago 

Five people have been killed in a shooting at a Christian church in the Russian republic of Dagestan.

Five others were also injured in the shooting, Russia's interior ministry said.

A local man fired at people leaving an evening service in the city of Kizlyar, Russia's Tass news agency said.

The attacker was shot and killed at the scene, and two police officers were among the wounded, the news agency reports.

Russian media report that the attacker used a hunting rifle, opening fire on worshippers leaving a service during the Maslenitsa celebrations - a traditional pre-Lent festival.

The Islamic State group later said - through its information wing Amaq -that one of its "soldiers" had carried out the attack.

Daghestan has been a hotbed of instability for years now, in this troublesome corner of "Europe". In theory, since it is north of the Caucasus.
No Kadyrov there to protect Orthodox worshippers there too, for better or worse.

I missed this somehow last year, and after a quick search it wasn't mentioned in this thread either.

QuoteOn 14 October 2017, a massive blast caused by a truck bombing in Mogadishu, the capital of Somalia, killed at least 512 people and injured 316.[1] Another 62 people remain missing.

...

is also the third-deadliest act of terrorism in recorded history, surpassed only by the 2007 Yazidi communities bombings and the September 11 attacks in 2001.[
It is far better for the truth to tear my flesh to pieces, then for my soul to wander through darkness in eternal damnation.
