These are not incidents involving nominal Muslims killing for money or personal pride. This is not ordinary crime. It includes incidents of deadly violence that can reasonably be determined to have been committed out of religious duty - as interpreted by the perpetrator.
Incidents related to combat, such as in Iraq and Afghanistan, are not included unless it involves particularly heinous terror tactics. Unprovoked sniper, drive-by or roadside bombing attacks on military personnel serving normal police duties are sometimes included depending on the circumstances.
The creator of this list acknowledges that a handful of incidents on the list may not fit the traditional definition of 'terror attack.' A small portion, for example, are of honor killings - although we very rarely include those in which a woman is killed by their husband, since this is often indistinguishable from a crime of passion (barring explicit circumstances).
Unfortunately, this list of Muslim terrorist attacks barely scratches the surface of atrocities committed in the name of Islam occurring world-wide each day.
The ridiculous level of violence that Islam serves up to the world makes it impossible to compile a complete list.
The incidents are collected each day from public news sources. There is no rumor or word-of-mouth involved. Although every attempt is made to be accurate and consistent, this list does not make claim that this is a scientific product.
No other religion inspires the sort of terrorism that the "Religion of Peace" produces.
