It's much easier to act as if critics of Islam have a problem with Muslims as people than it is to accept the uncomfortable truth that Islam is different

Do Muslim Terrorists
Really Get 449%
More Media Coverage?

(Addendum)

This is an addendum to the TROP article
 on the GSU study of terror attacks and
media coverage that can be found here.

Glen Roberts, Editor TROP
This is an addendum to the article on the GSU study of terror attacks and media coverage, which can be found here.


Figure 1.1 shows stats by perpetrator identity with "Unknown" separate from "Non-Muslim."  This is to show how relatively trivial " Unknown" attacks are, even though GSU counts them as "Non-Muslim."  The "per attack" is number of articles per incident (derived from dividing Articles Count by Incidents Count):

1.1 Incidents Fatal Non-Fatal Articles Overall
Count Count Count Count per attack
"Muslim" 11 7 4 936 85
"Non-Muslim" 45 10 35 1362 30
Unknown 33 0 33 115 3
Totals 89 17 72 2413  


Figure 1.2 shows the stats as calculated by GSU, with "Unknown" rolled into "Non-Muslim":

1.2 Incidents Fatal Non-Fatal Articles Overall
Count Count Count Count per attack
"Muslim" 11 7 4 936 85
"Non-Muslim" 78 10 68 1477 19
Totals 89 17 72 2413  


Figure 1.3 shows the stats for fatal attacks only.  This is more of an "apples to apples" comparison.  "Unknowns" don't matter at this point, since none were fatal:

1.3 Overall Fatal Articles Fatal Only
Count Count Count per attack
"Muslim" 11 7 902 129
"Non-Muslim" 78 10 923 92
Totals 89 17 1825  


Figure 1.4 shows the fatal-only stats without the Boston Marathon Bombing.  The number of articles per non-Muslim attack is now 30% higher than Muslim:

1.4 Overall Fatal Articles Fatal Only
Count Count Count per attack
"Muslim" 10 6 423 71
"Non-Muslim" 78 10 923 92
Totals 88 16 1346  


The following is the table of GTD incidents used in the GSU study.  The last two columns, "Killed" and "Muslim" were added by the author of this article (Glen Roberts) since GSU did not characterize casualties or religious designation in their table.  This may account for slight disagreements between these numbers and theirs.

Note also that some items marked as 'Unknown' in the description are marked as 'N' (No, for "Not Muslim") in the identity column.  These are attacks in which the motives of the attacker can be reasonably inferred from the target (such as mosques or abortion clinics).  The derived identity column was used for the statistics in this article:

The following list is four Muslim attacks from the period that were not on the GTD list, despite being more serious than many of those that were.  Not included as well were about six other non-fatal attacks that left only injuries.  Had these been on the list, the average number of news articles for Muslim attacks would have been much lower, due to their low coverage by the media:

Table 1.5

December, 2012 (Houston, TX) – Two Christians are shot to death by a devout Muslim for helping to convert his daughter.

August, 2013 (Richmond, CA) A Muslim convert "on a mission from Allah" stabs a store clerk to death.

March, 2014 (Port Bolivar, TX) A Muslim man shoots his lesbian daughter and her lover to death and leaves a copy of the Quran open to a page condemning homosexuality.

September, 2014 (Moore, OK) - A Sharia advocate beheads a woman after calling for Islamic terror and posting an Islamist beheading photo.
