So “Muslim Terror” DOMINATED the news for 15 years, then disappeared completey?

[FultzNationRISE]

Most people have already forgotten we were supposed to be constantly scared of that just a few years ago.

Al Qaeda, ISIS, color coded threat levels, invasions, pull outs.

For 15 years the national conversation was dominated by islamic extremism, and major terror attacks seemed a yearly thing. “They hate our way of life, they hate our freedom, they hate our beatiful trans athletes” etc

We havent heard a peep on this in quite a while. Did a billion people just stop being muslim? Or did we somehow achieve world peace and nobody noticed?

Because around 2016, the media’s Muslim Terror narrative turned off like a LIGHT SWITCH, and for the next four years Orange Man Bad was the entire conversation.

Just as he was exiting the stage, COVID broke out and pathogenic threats became the DOMINANT threat and new cycle topic.

Weird timing on all that.

Im sure it’s coincidence tho. Why not just get a jab and try not to think too much or worry about it?

Think thats what Ill do.

[ArbitraryWater]

where did all the terror attacks go anyway?

its like they just vanish for the new thing

good, good.. didnt want none of the meaty beefy bone content to get lost cause i didnt properly read it yet.

[Objectivity]

muslims are natural allies against woke psychos

Islam>wokeism

[diamenz]

so you DO watch mainstream news, op. :wtf:

anyway, what're ya gonna do about it?

[Patrick Chewing]

I still keep my eye on the Muzzies on a daily basis. They're retooling right now. Wouldn't be surprised if they've made their way across the border through Mexico.

[Norcaliblunt]

Trump tried his best to keep the Muslim terror shit alive with travel bans and shit but yup it all died and went Russian Covid.

[Nanners]

The reason the muslim terror narrative was created in the first place was to use as pretext for destroying all of Israel and Saudi Arabias enemies in the middle east.

Out of the original Wes Clark 7 (Iraq, Syria, Lebanon, Libya, Somolia, Sudan, Iran), the only country that has not been completely devastated financially and/or millitarily over the past ~20 years is maybe Iran (altho they have def been hurt financially).


Because around 2016, the media’s Muslim Terror narrative turned off like a LIGHT SWITCH, and for the next four years Orange Man Bad was the entire conversation.

The media didnt just turn off the muslim terror narrative when Trump was elected, they replaced it with a new narrative... domestic terrorists are the threat (AKA racist Trump supporters)

[Patrick Chewing]

Exactly, on 9/11, it was just "some people that did something" as Rep. Ilhan Omar so eloquently put it.


But White Nationalist Terrorism? That's the shit that keeps me up at night. I can't imagine the amount of destruction they would do if they wanted to. Flying planes into buildings is nothing. They would probably fly a plane holding a nuke and detonate the nuke as it crashed into the White House. That's the level of carnage White Nationalism would do. I mean, they haven't done anything like that yet, there is no indication that anything like that will happen, but it's only a matter of time before it does. We all know it's coming.

Republicans have decided to demonize trans people instead.

EXCLUSIVE: ISIS Plotting To Assassinate George W. Bush In Dallas (https://www.forbes.com/sites/thomasbrewster/2022/05/24/exclusive-isis-plotting-to-assassinate-george-w-bush-in-dallas/?sh=8b52b23180f2)

There you go, fresh off the press.

Looking around there are still Muslim terror headlines here and there. They didn't "disappear completely" it's just that society stopped caring about those headlines. So it's not circulating social media, no one is retweeting it.

Speaking of social media, that is where most people in today's society get their info. Twitter. Reddit. Facebook.

We are the ones that push the narrative now. Not CNN. Not FOX.

Everything is herd think now.

It's time to stop acting as though we are all helpless victims of the media. It's us pushing narratives and that can be seen right here in this forum.

How many successful terror attacks in the developed world were traced to islamic extremism between 01-15, and how many since then?

Are you telling me these things are still happening annually in America and France and England etc but simply nobody is reporting it or paying attention?

I'm telling you that ISIS and Muslim terror can still be found in the news but it's just being ignored by most so you won't seeing trending on Twitter or making the rounds on Facebook.

Except for today :oldlol:

Super weird that ISIS is all over the news today right when you make this thread.

But I mean actual attacks.

Are you forgetting these were an annual occurrence not long ago?

They were happening consistently for a period of 15 years, then suddenly around 2016 they stopped and the west hasnt seen a major one since (that I can recall, correct me if I'm wrong).

Ever since then we've had Orange Man fury, BLM demonstrations, pandemics, all of which dominated national attention... but why has that made terror attacks disappear? Why did Muslims stop attacking us as soon as all those other issues began in earnest around 2016?

That's what I find remarkable.

[FultzNationRISE]

And indeed, what a coincidence that within a day of making this thread, ISIS is back in national headlines after a 6 year hiatus :oldlol:

[Spuddywebby]

Not sure what angle OP is going with here. Are you saying that things like 9/11 and other bombings were staged/fake? Or are you saying that Islamic terrorists are still up to no good around the world but our media is ignoring it and getting the people worked up over Covid/Donald Trump/ Abortions etc?

I’m in the “retooling” camp. I think the larger terrorist organizations have been on the losing end of the battle for a while now and are probably refinancing/rearming/replanning. I don’t think they will come back on the scene with a big attack in the US but we are setting ourselves up as nice juicy target once again.

[FultzNationRISE]

Anyway, I dont expect conversations like these to actually affect anything.

Most people simply dont wanna think about these things.

Nothing's gonna change. I'm more or less just thinking out loud.

I'm not saying anything, just wondering what changed.

This issue DOMINATED the headlines for 15 straight years, and it was never specifically resolved in any way. Yet all the sudden it disappeared after the 2016 election like the flick of a light switch.

I think that's pretty wild.

So there were a few in the 90s, then 9/11 happened and after that no attacks for a full decade. Then from 2013 to 2017 there were 9 attacks, some of which were minor like a truck driver hitting some bikers. And now we are back in the clear and have been for 4 years.

When you look at it we have one major attack in 2001, and then 9 "minor" attacks from 2013 to 2018.

Uhh, what??

The Madrid train bombings killed 170 people in 04.

The London subway bombings killed 50 people in 2005.

A Toulouse shooting in France killed 7 in 2012.

Then there was the Charlie Hebdo attack a couple years later that killed 12.

There was the Boston Marathon bombing.

Paris attacks of 2015 killed 137.

San Bernadino attack of 2015 killed 14.

Pulse nightclub in 2016 killed 49.


And since then.... no significant attacks and virtually no media attention on anything related to the topic. The attacks seemed to stop right as the narrative shifted to social justice and pandemics.

Oh outside of the US there have been steady attacks, just look at the link.

Here is 65 people killed in a bombing less than 1 year ago (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2021_Kandahar_bombing)

This stuff is in the news, there are CNN headlines (https://www.cnn.com/2021/10/15/asia/mosque-blast-kandahar-intl/index.html) and all the other outlets as well. But like I said people aren't talking about it because they are choosing to talk about other things, be it Trump or covid or whatever. Hive mind mentality. Herd think. Some blame the media but it isn't that, the hive focuses on what it wants to focus on.

I'm not talking about terror attacks in Kandaharilalajistan.

I'm talking about attacks in the West specifically.

From 2001 to 2017 attacks themselves were not only quite frequent and severe, but they were also the emphasis of most political rhetoric.

Right around 2017, the entire subject - and the attacks in the west - seemed to drop off the edge of a cliff.

Anyway, I just think the timing is very interesting and coincidental.

But oh well. It's not like discussing it on ISH is going to be productive in any way.

So whatevs!

No idea. Probably just the general decline of coalition forces in the Middle East over the last decade.
