Unscripted: Manchester suicide bombing

*Originally uploaded to YouTube on 24/5/17*

Some stats:

In 2015, 450 out of 452 suicide attacks worldwide (over 99%) were committed by Muslim extremists: http://www.timesofisrael.com/450-of-452-suicide-attacks-in-2015-were-by-muslim-extremists-study-shows/

In 2016, ISIS alone was responsible for roughly 70% of the 469 suicide bombings worldwide: http://www.timesofisrael.com/2016-was-deadliest-year-ever-for-suicide-bombings-worldwide/

Most terrorism occurs in the Muslim world (and most terrorist victims are Muslims): http://www.voanews.com/a/most-terrorism-victims-are-in-mulim-majority-countires/3478905.html

In the US – according to the following article and some others – the majority of terrorist attacks *aren't* committed by Muslims (self-professed or otherwise): http://reason.com/archives/2017/03/24/do-muslims-commit-most-us-terrorist-atta
However, Muslims make up only 1% of the US population, yet – according to that same article – they accounted for 12% of terrorist attacks (11 out of 89) over a recent five-year period.

There will be people who continue to challenge these statistics, and/or engage in whataboutery – the Crusades, fundamentalist Christians etc. Their views are increasingly at odds with reality – with the evidence we can all see with our own eyes.

A minor clarification: where I referred to an "anti-immigration/Brexit" group, I meant anti-*mass* immigration. I'm pretty sure that most people who voted for Brexit are in favour of some immigration (personally – in addition to skilled workers – I think we should be taking in genuinely persecuted Christian refugees). I don't want to inadvertently lend any weight to that straw-man BS.

And, of course, there were plenty of other reasons to vote Leave besides immigration – the EU's shameful lack of democratic accountability and the impoverishing effect of its policies on Southern Europe, to name but two.
