When challenged with undeniable truth that recent Bangkok was perpetrated by muslims, suddenly this inbred shemale ustazy resorts to spin and twist, just like the nature of his faith which we have seen too often, these Uighurs muslims aren't muslims, mind you, they are nationalist !....
Thai police question three Uighur Muslims over Bangkok blast
Three Uighur Muslims, among dozens detained in the kingdom for illegal entry last year, have been questioned over the deadly Bangkok bombing, Thai police have said.
Eleven days on from the bombing at Erawan shrine, which killed 20 people and wounded scores more, authorities are hunting for a prime suspect who police describe as a foreign man.

Translation : I cannot refute the counter arguments therefore I repeat myself hoping that constant repetition will somehow or rather make me believe that what I posted is the truth ..... ha ha
Refer to my post #150. Your reference is a huckster of a site.
In other words , you are also a huckster.
Ha ha , no wonder lah you appeal to sites like these. In summary
- sam1528 appeal to loonwatch which refer to the FBI , NCTC and RAND data for their argument
- goh mas lan or 'wkk5159-maslan' appeal to 'thereligionofpeace' which refer to their wet dreams and consider it data for their argument

LOL , told you guys to sit back and enjoy the show. Watch how our resident hater in Goh Mas Lan or 'wkk5159-maslan' twist and turn trying to run from his own arguments. When refuted , he would abandon his argument and quickly run to another one hoping to get a break of some sort.
Even the link that he appealed to in his post#155 stated that that highly likely the bombing is due to radical ethno-nationalist not jihadist nor Islam.
Now he comes up with another link which again thoroughly refute him.
Three Uighur Muslims, among dozens detained in the kingdom for illegal entry last year, have been questioned over the deadly Bangkok bombing, Thai police have said.
No arrests have been made, despite the circulation of grainy CCTV footage of the lead suspect.
The report clearly stated no arrests have been made.
Oops , first its the Turks an then now Uighurs .... what next?
However the following is what you have claimed :
When challenged with undeniable truth that recent Bangkok was perpetrated by muslims, suddenly this inbred shemale ustazy resorts to spin and twist, just like the nature of his faith which we have seen too often, these Uighurs muslims aren't muslims, mind you, they are nationalist !....
Can you now explain just how when no arrests have been made but you came to the conclusion that it was caused by muslims and Islam is the cause? Ha ha , sudah pekena 'pill kuda' lagi ke?
You still need to explain from your previous post :
What is this Grey Wolves movement one might ask? The Terrorism Research and Analysis Consortium states :
The Grey Wolves was a Turkish ultra-nationalist, neo-fascist youth organization. It is the "unofficial militant arm" of the Nationalist Movement Party. According to Turkish authorities, the organization carried out 694 murders between 1974–1980.
Ha ha , Ultra Nationalist and Neo Facist organisation is hardly Islamic.
This begs the question : How come you 'die - die' argue that Islam is the cause?
Ha ha , I have been proven right again. Our resident hater in Goh Mas Lan or 'wkk5159-maslan' is running from his own arguments. Aiyoo , why am I not surprised? After all , you claim to be 'a true professional and an expert in your field' ..... LOL
Malu ooi ....

Ha ha , you are really living in delusion ... aren't you?
When you points got deducted , you whine to the whole world instead of looking inward to see what you have done. The best part is that you don't even know that your arguments are the arguments of a person on 'pill kuda'.
How come you are so scared to answer my questions. The questions are in direct relation to the links you appeal to :
- why did you appeal to an article which rigged the FBI data?
- why are you counting mugshots and then claim it to be statistical data?
- why are you avoiding the NCTC and RAND data?
- why is it to you that mugshots are statistical data?
Refer to my post #149
No wonder you are scared to respond .... you claim to be 'a true professional and an expert in your field' ..... after all.
In other words you have been soundly defeated. It is just that your ego is making you delusional ..... LOL ....

Ha ha , See folks - I have been proven right again and again and again ......
When refuted our resident hater in Goh Mas Lan or 'wkk5159-maslan' abandon the Uighurs and now runs off in another direction blaming the the 'Red Shirts' and the so called muslim insurgents from the south.
BTW , do you know who are the Red Shirts?
The red-shirts are formally known as the United Front for Democracy Against Dictatorship (UDD). The focus of many red-shirts' campaigning zeal is former Prime Minister Thaksin Shinawatra.
In your wet dreams - the 'red shirts' are muslims. Tsk - tsk ...... you are just soooo desperate.
Why don't you take the trouble to read the article that you appeal to? Again and again , the article you appealed to have refuted you :
Red Shirts
For: The Red Shirts group has been fighting the military government since it came to power in a coup last year. Initially the government said it believed the bomber was from the north-east of the country, where the Red Shirts have their power base.
Against: Most Thai analysts say that it is just highly unlikely that they would do this. Not only would it be a huge step up in their campaign, which has been very low-level violence so far, but more importantly they would just lose the moral high ground. They would just lose their support, which is big in the population here, so it is unlikely they would do it.
Islamic insurgents from southern Thailand
For: They have been fighting the government for decades.
Against: It does not have their hallmarks. They have contained their attacks to the south and they have targeted generally property, not people.
They also have never attacked tourism sites at all, while the shrine was a huge tourism site for both foreigners and also Thais.
There is nothing conclusive.
This reminds me about christians like you who hates muslims :
Fits you to a tee ..... yes?
LOL ......

This pseudodyslexic shemale ustazy just keep on retardedly asking me to answer the so called FBI, NCTC and RAND data from not official FBI site but deceptive islamic website; http://www.loonwatch.com
On the contrary, just look at the website i quoted;
Muslim terrorists can be proud: their share in world terrorist attacks is now close to 100%.
http://www.state.gov/j/ct/rls/crt/2013/224831.htm
What true FBI stastistic said about the most wanted terrorists ???
Here you are, the original FBI website;
https://www.fbi.gov/wanted/wanted_terrorists
Can you all see how many of the most wanted terrorists are muslims shemale like sam1528 ???
99.99% !!!
LOL , after so many posts you still do not know what are NCTC and RAND? You still think NCTC and RAND are deceptive sites from loonwatch? Ha ha , you are one confused person (oops .... you force yourself to be confused)
- NCTC : National Counter Terrorism Centre - established by George Bush under the Patriot Act and the Intelligence Reform and Terrorism Prevention Act (IRTPA)
- RAND data - it is a compilation of terrorism data , from the National Security and Research Division
It appears that you are a frog in a well with such narrow thinking. Hmmm , I refer to a lots more credible databases than you who only appeal to a rigged FBI database. LOL ..... malu ooi!
Even with the FBI data , you are in no position to refute me.
In the end .... what did you do?
- you appeal to an article which rigged the data.
- you look at mugshots and argue of it being statistical data
Hmmm ...... deceptive I see .....
How come you are so scared to answer my questions?
- why did you appeal to an article which rigged the FBI data?
- why are you counting mugshots and then claim it to be statistical data?
- why are you avoiding the NCTC and RAND data?
LOL , sit back folks and watch how our resident hater Goh Mas Lan or 'wkk5159-maslan' scamper everywhere in order not to answer any questions. Sure what , our resident hater in Goh Mas Lan or 'wkk5159-maslan' claims to be 'a true professional and an expert in his field' .... LOL

CATCHING UP TO A RESURRECTED INTERNET LIE
By David Stein It’s hard to believe that the saying “A lie will go round the world while truth is pulling its boots on” was written almost a century-and-a-half before the age of the Internet. The extent to which falsehoods can reach millions of people in the blink of an eye has never been greater. Internet lies are very difficult to kill. Even if debunked, they have a tendency to be continually “rediscovered” again and again. Such was the case with a false and deceptive Internet essay about Muslim terrorism that went viral the weekend of September 19th.
The essay was first posted in January 2010, on the website Loonwatch.com (a site dedicated to attacking those who confront Islamic extremism). Titled “All Terrorists are Muslims…Except the 94% that Aren’t,” the essay, which was posted by Loonwatch’s anonymous administrator “Danios,” claimed that “FBI statistics” prove that Muslims account for only 6% of terrorist acts in the United States (I am purposely not linking to the original source for the piece, because the Loonwatch site attempts to download malware into visitors’ computers. Anyone wishing to look the essay up on Loonwatch does so at their own risk). According to Danios, a shocking 42% of all terrorist acts are committed by Latinos. “Extreme left-wing groups” account for 24%, Jews 7%, and Muslims a mere 6%..... Within hours, the essay made its way to radical Muslim (and Muslim apologist) message boards, with its title changed to “FBI: More Jewish Terrorists Than Muslim Terrorists in USA.” Yet the bogus essay never achieved viral status, in part because it was, well (there’s just no way to sugar-coat this) idiotic. “Danios’” statistics were taken from an FBI document titled “Terrorism: 2002-2005.” The final page of the report contained a selective summary of terrorist incidents in the U.S. from 1980 through 2005. The report made it abundantly clear that this was not a comprehensive list of ALL terror attacks in the U.S. The FBI’s annual “Terrorism” report is intended to examine onlyspecific non-classified cases, in order to provide the American public with a general overview of how the Bureau deals with terror threats (anyone with even the most cursory knowledge of U.S. terror attacks would know that the selective summary is far from complete, as it omits the 1990 assassination of Meir Kahane, the 1993 mass-shooting outside CIA headquarters by a Muslim terrorist, and the 1997 mass-shooting on the Empire State Building’s observation deck by a Palestinian gunman. The fact that the Kahane assassination is cited in the body of the report but not listed in the summary at the end is a dead giveaway that the closing summary is selective and not complete). The FBI report begins with two paragraphs which warn readers that it is not intended as a complete catalog of terror incidents. The authors point out that, prior to 2001, the FBI “Terrorism” series was extremely limited in scope: Since the mid-1980s, the FBI has published “Terrorism in the United States,” an unclassified annual report summarizing terrorist activities in this country. While this publication provided an overview of the terrorist threat in the United States and its territories, its limited scope proved inadequate for conveying either the breadth or width of the terrorist threat facing U.S. interests or the scale of the FBI’s response to terrorism worldwide.
Following 9/11, the series was renamed simply “Terrorism,” and expanded to include discussions of certain overseas cases. The report’s authors strongly caution readers NOT to take the report as a comprehensive review, redirecting readers to the actual source of complete listings of terrorist incidents: While the discussion of international terrorism provides a more complete overview of FBI terrorism investigations into acts involving U.S. interests around the world, “Terrorism” is not intended as a comprehensive annual review of worldwide terrorist activity. The chronological incidents, charts, and figures included in Terrorism 2002-2005 reflect only those incidents identified in the “Terrorism”/”Terrorism in the United States” series. For more complete listings of worldwide terrorist incidents, see the Worldwide Incidents Tracking System maintained by the National Counterterrorism Center at www.nctc.gov and the Terrorism Knowledge Base compiled by the Memorial Institute for the Prevention of Terrorism at www.tkb.org.
“Danios” not only ignored (or failed to comprehend) these very easy-to-understand warnings, he also lumped together the incidents from 1980 through 2005 as though they were all equally current. “Danios’” claim that Latinos commit the greatest number of terrorist acts in the U.S. comes from his deceitful mixing of modern-day Islamic terror incidents with thirty-year-old crimes committed by long-defunct “Puerto Rican liberation movement” groups back in the early 1980s. During the1970s and ’80s, Puerto Rican independence groups took up a significant amount of the FBI’s time, and justifiably so. Al-Qaeda was over a decade away from even being conceptualized, and the threat from the new Islamic dictatorship in Iran (and from older dictatorships like Libya) was confined to the Middle East and Europe. Yet “Danios” mashed thirty years of statistics into one clumsy lump, with no respect for the simple fact that terrorist movements, like political movements, come and go, rise and ebb. In his essay, “Danios” linked to the FBI report he so badly misused, and, as anyone with the ability to read basic English could see, the report was neither comprehensive nor was the closing summary complete or current. As a result, “Danios’” drivel quickly died on the vine (even far-left sites like Daily Kos and Media Matters didn’t touch it). Until last week. Sabrina Park, a reporter for the Daily Titan (the student newspaper at Cal State Fullerton), apparently stumbled upon the Danios essay, and decided she had uncovered the scoop of a lifetime. Ms. Park, whose previous “investigative reports” included articles titled “Summer Hot Spot Review” and “Guide to Nightlife in Downtown Fullerton,” titled her explosive article “Only 6 Percent of Terrorists Are Muslim.” Note the word “are.” It’s repeated endlessly in her article, to imply that the figures she cites are current, not thirty years old. Nor, of course, does Ms. Park ever mention that the FBI figures she cites are not intended to be seen as complete or thorough. But unlike “Danios,” Ms. Park did not link to the FBI report. And by not linking to the source material that would instantaneously discredit her conclusions, Ms. Park has been able to accomplish what “Danios” couldn’t…she’s made the story go viral. By Monday the 20th, her article had been reposted on thousands websites and Facebook pages. Ms. Park begins her tirade by lambasting those who view Muslim extremist terror as an international scourge (I haven’t fixed her questionable grammar. I’ll also highlight her continued use of the word “are,” which gives the impression that she’s referring to current and not thirty-year-old statistics): Why people continue to generalize all terrorists as being Muslim is beyond me- perhaps it has to do with their lack of knowledge on the topic and laziness to find out the legitimacy of the claim. It is also possible that since people are so quick to believe what they are told, they are able to easily adopt someone else’s views as their own. I wouldn’t doubt it- I mean; we all know hardly anyone can think for themselves these days anyway. So, that being said, let’s think for ourselves and do some research: exactly what percent of Muslims are terrorists? Well, according to FBI files, which can be accessed through fbi.gov, only 6 percent of terrorists are Muslim. The remaining percentage of terrorist attacks on U.S. territory includes: Latinos at 42 percent, extreme Left Wing groups at 24 percent, Jewish extremists at 7 percent, Communists at 5 percent, and other terrorist organizations at 16 percent.
It’s like watching a train wreck. Ms. Park’s essay is so terribly juvenile and poorly thought-out that I can only blame her editor for allowing a young would-be journalist to embarrass herself so badly. I wouldn’t even be taking the time to debunk it had it not gone viral. Ms. Park takes a cursory, incomplete study of selective terrorist acts over thirty years and not only writes as though the thirty-year-old figures are current, but also that they demonstrate “what percent of Muslims are terrorists.” There is nothing in the FBI “Terrorism” report that examines the percentage of Muslims who are involved in terrorism. As the report itself indicates, prior to 9/11, the “Terrorism” series didn’t even mention overseas terror incidents. Where was this young woman’s editor? It’s inexcusable that he or she allowed this nonsense to be published. With no concept of how she has misused and distorted the FBI statistics, Ms. Park asks: If only 6 percent of terrorists are Muslim, then why does the media only cover the attacks by Islamic extremists? It doesn’t make sense and the way it is being portrayed is entirely deceptive and misleading. This leaves me perplexed beyond explanation. How is it that FBI files have record (sic) that Latinos are responsible for the highest percentage of terrorism toward the U.S., yet we still live in constant fear of being attacked by Muslims?
Ms. Park simply doesn’t have the cognitive ability to understand that the Puerto Rican independence movement incidents that the FBI report cites are thirty years old. She honestly believes that there is a plague of Latino terrorism going on in the world today, and the anti-Muslim media is covering it up. The editors of the Daily Titan should be ashamed of themselves. They allowed a student journalist to humiliate herself and spread inaccuracies and falsehoods. For the record, the Worldwide Incidents Tracking System maintained by the National Counterterrorism Center at www.nctc.gov – the site recommended by the FBI for thorough, exhaustive terrorism statistics – provides the actual figures (remember – this is the source that is recommended for complete terrorism stats in the FBI report that Ms. Park cites). From January 1st 2000 through August 31st 2010, the breakdown of ethnic and religiously-motivated global terror acts is: Islamic: 16,177
Hindu: 18
Jewish: 52
Christian extremist: 288
Neo-Nazi/white supremacist: 5
Tribal/clan/ethnic: 542
Other: 7 This is not a complete list, as the NCTC keeps a separate list of “politically-based” terrorist acts (which includes territorial disputes, even those in which religion plays a factor). In that separate category, 1,065 Palestinian acts of terror are listed, and 2,326 incidents from India (most revolving around the disputed Kashmir territories). We can safely add the Palestinian acts to the Muslim list. In India, although Muslim terror has taken a horrible toll (as evidenced by the 2008 Mumbai terror attacks in which Muslim terrorists murdered 173 people), there are Hindu extremist groups as well. Considering that India is a Hindu-majority nation, let’s be generous and consign two-thirds of the India terror acts to Hindus, and one-third to Muslims (not a scientific method, but, frankly, we could relegate 100% of the Indian terror attacks to Hindus and it still wouldn’t make the total figure of Muslim acts any less lopsidedly huge). With the new calculations, we get:
18,010 Muslim terror attacks
1,553 Hindu terror attacks
542 tribal/clan/ethnic terror attacks
288 Christian terror attacks
52 Jewish terror attacks
5 neo-Nazi/white supremacist terror attacks
7 “other” If “Danios” and Sabrina Park had bothered to actually read the FBI report they misrepresented, and if they had cared enough to consult the statistics that the report itself cites as comprehensive and complete, they would have discovered that if you add up every Hindu, Christian, Jewish, white supremacist, tribal, and unclassified terror attack over the past ten years, they amount to a mere 13.5% of the number of terror attacks perpetrated by Muslims. That’s the truth, ready to “pull its boots on” and play catch-up to Sabrina Park’s fabrications.
So you see, deception and lies just second nature to pios muslims like sam1528, you see it everywhere, from 1MDB scandal to religious forum in Cari.com....

LOL , recycling already refuted arguments. This has been thoroughly refuted in my post#122. Too bad , you are in denial.
You don't even know the meaning of 'all'. You think 'all' means a 'selection' ..... ha ha
LOL , you have just been refuted by your own reference. You appealed to an article which states the following :
Yet the bogus essay never achieved viral status, in part because it was, well (there’s just no way to sugar-coat this) idiotic. “Danios’” statistics were taken from an FBI document titled “Terrorism: 2002-2005.” The final page of the report contained a selective summary of terrorist incidents in the U.S. from 1980 through 2005.

The fact that the Kahane assassination is cited in the body of the report but not listed in the summary at the end is a dead giveaway that the closing summary is selective and not complete).
The following is taken from your post link to the FBI webpage (under updates at the near end of the page) :
The following Chronological Summary includes all of the terrorist incidents recorded in the Terrorism/Terrorism in the United States series. The statistical information contained in the following summary supports the graphs and charts presented in this publication.
Hello! Do you know what is the meaning of 'all'. Is 'all' selective or everything? That is where the data for the tabulation of the piechart comes from. Do you actually read and verify the sources or you just believe what others tell you? Appears that it is the latter for you. What this person does is very simple , he included the NCTC data into the FBI data but the NCTC data is not local US data.
For the record, the Worldwide Incidents Tracking System maintained by the National Counterterrorism Center at www.nctc.gov – the site recommended by the FBI for thorough, exhaustive terrorism statistics – provides the actual figures (remember – this is the source that is recommended for complete terrorism stats in the FBI report that Ms. Park cites).
Just a cursory glance I could detect that the author of the said article rigged the FBI data with the NCTC data. On the other hand it appears that you are not even critical of what you read.
Yet you claim to be a true professional and an expert in your field. So far ...... nothing much from you .....
You still need to answer my questions :
- why did you appeal to an article which rigged the FBI data?
- why are you counting mugshots and then claim it to be statistical data?
- why are you avoiding the NCTC and RAND data?
Sit back and watch the show folks. See how our resident Islam hater in Goh Mas Lan or 'wkk5159-maslan' goes about in circles chasing his backside ... ha ha

Ms. Park takes a cursory, incomplete study of selective terrorist acts over thirty years and not only writes as though the thirty-year-old figures are current, but also that they demonstrate “what percent of Muslims are terrorists.” There is nothing in the FBI “Terrorism” report that examines the percentage of Muslims who are involved in terrorism. As the report itself indicates, prior to 9/11, the “Terrorism” series didn’t even mention overseas terror incidents. Where was this young woman’s editor? It’s inexcusable that he or she allowed this nonsense to be published. With no concept of how she has misused and distorted the FBI statistics, Ms. Park asks: If only 6 percent of terrorists are Muslim, then why does the media only cover the attacks by Islamic extremists? It doesn’t make sense and the way it is being portrayed is entirely deceptive and misleading. This leaves me perplexed beyond explanation. How is it that FBI files have record (sic) that Latinos are responsible for the highest percentage of terrorism toward the U.S., yet we still live in constant fear of being attacked by Muslims?
Ms. Park simply doesn’t have the cognitive ability to understand that the Puerto Rican independence movement incidents that the FBI report cites are thirty years old. She honestly believes that there is a plague of Latino terrorism going on in the world today, and the anti-Muslim media is covering it up. The editors of the Daily Titan should be ashamed of themselves. They allowed a student journalist to humiliate herself and spread inaccuracies and falsehoods. For the record, the Worldwide Incidents Tracking System maintained by the National Counterterrorism Center at www.nctc.gov – the site recommended by the FBI for thorough, exhaustive terrorism statistics – provides the actual figures (remember – this is the source that is recommended for complete terrorism stats in the FBI report that Ms. Park cites). From January 1st 2000 through August 31st 2010, the breakdown of ethnic and religiously-motivated global terror acts is: Islamic: 16,177
Hindu: 18
Jewish: 52
Christian extremist: 288
Neo-Nazi/white supremacist: 5
Tribal/clan/ethnic: 542
Other: 7 This is not a complete list, as the NCTC keeps a separate list of “politically-based” terrorist acts (which includes territorial disputes, even those in which religion plays a factor). In that separate category, 1,065 Palestinian acts of terror are listed, and 2,326 incidents from India (most revolving around the disputed Kashmir territories). We can safely add the Palestinian acts to the Muslim list. In India, although Muslim terror has taken a horrible toll (as evidenced by the 2008 Mumbai terror attacks in which Muslim terrorists murdered 173 people), there are Hindu extremist groups as well. Considering that India is a Hindu-majority nation, let’s be generous and consign two-thirds of the India terror acts to Hindus, and one-third to Muslims (not a scientific method, but, frankly, we could relegate 100% of the Indian terror attacks to Hindus and it still wouldn’t make the total figure of Muslim acts any less lopsidedly huge). With the new calculations, we get:
18,010 Muslim terror attacks
1,553 Hindu terror attacks
542 tribal/clan/ethnic terror attacks
288 Christian terror attacks
52 Jewish terror attacks
5 neo-Nazi/white supremacist terror attacks
7 “other” If “Danios” and Sabrina Park had bothered to actually read the FBI report they misrepresented, and if they had cared enough to consult the statistics that the report itself cites as comprehensive and complete, they would have discovered that if you add up every Hindu, Christian, Jewish, white supremacist, tribal, and unclassified terror attack over the past ten years, they amount to a mere 13.5% of the number of terror attacks perpetrated by Muslims. That’s the truth, ready to “pull its boots on” and play catch-up to Sabrina Park’s fabrications.
So you see, deception and lies just second nature to pios muslims like sam1528, you see it everywhere, from 1MDB scandal to religious forum in Cari.com....
