The Global Terrorism Index says deaths attributed to Boko Haram increased by 317 percent in 2014 to 6,644 compared to 6,073 blamed on Islamic State. Boko Haram pledged allegiance to IS in March and calls itself that group's West Africa Province. The two are responsible for 51 percent of deaths by terror worldwide, according to the report published by the New York City-based Institute for Economics and Peace.[/quote]
Oh boy. Question is if they have more manpower than ISIS. Which should be focused more on?
Wow, if the two combined are responsible for 51% of terror-related deaths, who is responsible for the other 49%?

Bunch of wankers.
[QUOTE=DiBBs27;49140126]China has the least amount of terrorist cells in the world. I can only imagine why.[/QUOTE] Because, standard of living wise, China leaves the regions they conquer better than when they found them
Step it up, ISIS. Better luck next year.
[QUOTE=proboardslol;49140221]Because, standard of living wise, China leaves the regions they conquer better than when they found them[/QUOTE] lol, not even. They have the least amount to terrorists because they begin performing ethnic cleansing immediately and have had experience doing it since before the Revolution.

[QUOTE=TheNerdPest14;49139743]Oh boy. Question is if they have more manpower than ISIS. Which should be focused more on?[/QUOTE] They are based in Nigeria, and Nigeria has a more than half the population of the states, and almost as much as the entire population of the middle east. Manpower will never be a problem for them as long as they can find people down on their luck, and or uneducated enough to fall prey to their ideas. The fact that they have so many people possibly at their disposal, and the fact that they are in an even less stable region of the world makes them incredibly more dangerous off potential alone.
It scares me more that Boko Haram are affiliated/(allied?) with ISIS, and them being in entirely different regions. Boko terorizing Nigeria (Central Africa?), and ISIS covering the Middle East. That's a big portion of the world.

[QUOTE=plunger435;49141561]You don't actually believe that do you?[/QUOTE] as identified by law enforcement and the public, sovereign citizens (or domestic terrorism) are the biggest threat to daily life.
[QUOTE=Code3Response;49141615]as identified by law enforcement and the public, sovereign citizens (or domestic terrorism) are the biggest threat to daily life.[/QUOTE] They might have voted it, but there have been more successful instances of Jihadist extremists perpetrating terror attacks than sovereign citizens in recent times.
[QUOTE=Satane;49141495]Wouldn't be surprised if american school shooters make a considerable dent in overall terrorism deaths.[/QUOTE] Statistically it probably doesn't
Now if only there was a way to turn ISIS and Boko Haram on eachother...
[QUOTE=plunger435;49141724]They might have voted it, but there have been more successful instances of Jihadist extremists perpetrating terror attacks than sovereign citizens in recent times.[/QUOTE] Terrorism is more than just blowing yourself to kingdom come in the hopes of taking the disgusting infidels with you. It's any action designed to promote fear, uncertainty, terror amongst the population. Sovereign citizens have this really fucking bad habit of shooting cops, being general dickheads, and try their damn hardest to subvert the state at the expense of those who are not.
[QUOTE=plunger435;49141724]They might have voted it, but there have been more successful instances of Jihadist extremists perpetrating terror attacks than sovereign citizens in recent times.[/QUOTE] In recent times there has been zero Jihad attacks in the US. I dont know how else to tell you that. Using the GTD (Global Terrorism Database) provided by the University of Maryland you can search by perpetrators, weapons, countries, etc. from over 140,000 recorded terrorist attacks since 1970. A [I]vast[/I] majority of terrorism in the US is done by domestic groups. Foreign terrorism doesnt even scratch the surface of threats.
