Happy Monday, Gerbil Nation!
Good morning, Sven!

I’ve got a couple of Zoom interviews to be a part of this morning. My church is looking for a new choir director. It would be great if we could conclude this process soon, and not let it drag on.

I was watching a conversation between Gad Saad and Raymond Ibrahim My Chat with Raymond Ibrahim -- Islam, Islamic Conquests, & Christendom (THE SAAD TRUTH_1871) that is well worth an hour of your time to watch if you are interested in Islam and its effect on Western culture, when Saad made this comment: “Since 9/11 alone, 47,000 plus terror attacks in nearly 70 countries by one religion.” The relevant section begins here: https://youtu.be/xXYNaUQrpsw?t=3255

That number sounded incredible and I began looking for source material and I think it comes from here:

https://www.fondapol.org/en/study/islamist-terrorist-attacks-in-the-world-1979-2021/

Between 1979 and May 2021, we counted 48,035 Islamist terrorist attacks around the world, which have resulted in the deaths of at least 210,138 people.
• 1979-2000: 2,194 attacks and 6,817 deaths.
• 2001-2012: 8,265 attacks and 38,186 deaths.
• 2013-May 2021: 37,576 attacks and 165,135 deaths.

Accurate, inflated, flawed methodology? Don’t know, but I lean towards mostly right. I also came across this from Ibrahim that lists out Muslim attacks/incidents against Christians over the last month:
https://www.gatestoneinstitute.org/21779/persecution-of-christians-june

Some of these incidents I’ve read about – others never heard of. Hard to argue that Islam means “peace” but there you go.

Thanks, Sven. I’ll see about watching it tomorrow. The unwillingness of people in the West to understand that not everyone thinks the same has been a long-term failure of Western diplomacy.

Started watch American Primeval on Netflix: A mother and son fleeing from their past form a found family while confronting a harsh landscape of freedom and cruelty in the American West.

Not a bad western series so far.
