And Africa wasn't in Europe last time I looked.
Nice try guys.
But you can look at Belgium and France over the last 3 years.
Many killings and even more injured by Islamic nutjobs.

Not cherry picking, just re-stating my original post that you deemed to quote beyond the remit that I'd set.

quote:

A total of 152 terrorist attacks occurred in five EU Member States. The majority took place in France (63), Spain (33) and the UK (35). After an increase in 2012, the number of
terrorist attacks in 2013 fell below the number recorded in 2011.
...
European Union (EU) Member States reported no terrorist attacks specifically classified as religiously inspired terrorism for the 2013 period. However, in at least two attacks, the role of religious radicalisation appears to be evident.

quote:

The number of attacks increased in 2014, contrary to the trend in past years. A total of 201 failed, foiled or completed terrorist attacks were reported by seven EU Member States, more than half of them by the UK. Overall, attacks specifically classified as separatist terrorism accounted for the largest proportion, followed by anarchist and left-wing attacks. France reported 50 separatist attacks, all of them in Corsica.

Two attacks were classified as religiously inspired. In one of these attacks, which occurred inside the Jewish Museum of Belgium in Brussels, the perpetrator used a semi-automatic rifle to kill four people. In addition to the four fatalities in Belgium, injuries as a result of terrorist activities were reported by France and Greece.

Further attacks in which religious extremism seems to have played a role occurred in France.
