Even sadder is the fact that (according to a recent Algerian speaking at TED), while westerners are calling all Muslims (and Sikhs) terrorists, they ignore that 85% of the direct victims of terrorism (ignoring USA drone strikes etc) are non-fundamentalist Muslims in Afghanistan, Algeria, Egypt, etc.



Do "westerners call all Muslims (and Sikhs) terrorists"? Rubbish.

Do "they ignore that 85% of the direct victims of terrorism ... are non-fundamentalist Muslims"? No, they don't.
