<blockquote>
As Europol, the [[European Union]]'s law-enforcement agency, noted in its [https://www.europol.europa.eu/content/te-sat-2014-european-union-terrorism-situation-and-trend-report-2014 report released last year], the vast majority of [[Europe/terrorism/in|terror attacks in Europe]] were perpetrated by [[separatism|separatist]] groups. For example, in 2013, there were 152 terror attacks in Europe. Only two of them were "[[religion|religiously]] motivated," while 84 were predicated upon ethno-nationalist or separatist beliefs.

[...]

Back in the United States, the percentage of terror attacks committed by Muslims is almost as miniscule as in Europe. An [http://www.fbi.gov/stats-services/publications/terrorism-2002-2005/terror02_05#terror_05sum FBI study] looking at terrorism committed on U.S. soil between 1980 and 2005 found that 94 percent of the terror attacks were committed by non-Muslims. In actuality, 42 percent of terror attacks were carried out by Latino-related groups, followed by 24 percent perpetrated by extreme left-wing actors.
