Half the world's terrorists are Muslims

I recently read in a British newspaper that approximately half of all the world's terrorists are Muslims or carry out their acts in the name of Islam. I wanted to investigate this so I listed all the terrorist events reported by the BBC in the previous 6 months. The results backed up the newspaper's statement and now I am both shocked and appalled. How can a religion be so filled with evil-doers?

Upon further reading and investigation I found out that the majority of rapists in Denmark are Somali-Muslims yet they make up only aroung 5% of the total Danish polulation. That is quite a stark statistic.

We need a world boycott on Islamic emigration, build a massive Guantanamo in Iran and let them be good Muslims in their own world and leave the West to forward-thinking, liberal people.
