Worldwide Islamic Terrorism Since September 11th
Worldwide Islamic Terrorism Since September 11th
Back in December, the Baron wrote a post in which he mentioned Samuel Huntington’s
well-known quote about Islam’s “bloody borders”. The imagery was graphic and
startling. In my ignorance, I asked the Baron if he could draw a simple map delineating
these boundaries. I wanted to be able to see these “fault lines”. I wanted to see if a
pictorial representation would help me better to understand the reach and the destruction
of what the Islamofascists have wrought.
The Baron reminded me that no such map could be made. Islamic terrorism takes place
among, between, and inside many countries. The constant, vicious, lethal storm of
Islamist violence stretches from equatorial Africa and the Barbary coast, across the Holy
Land and the Arabian heartland, snaking through the mountains and plains of South Asia,
making its way along the littoral of Indochina and the Indian Ocean, and ending in the
archipelagos of the Pacific Rim.
Remember when we heard about “The New World Order”? Few of us envisioned a world
order straight from the gates of hell. On that beautiful September day in 2001, the sky a
deep cerulean blue, we watched bodies, people, people like you and me, leaping, jumping
arm-in-arm, sailing through space. We never saw them land.
Everyone has his own interior landscape of that September day. For many of us,
September 12th was indeed the commencement of a New World Order. It was not an
order founded on innocence or optimism or platitudes. It had become a world of resolve
in the face of uncertainty. Whatever happened, we would not go quietly again.
We are well past the hopes and fears of the 20th century. The atomic Armageddon so
endlessly prophesied died in silence. The old ideologies belong to the ages. We have
come to some new, yet equally terrible, darkling plain.
Where there were previously two superpowers and three “worlds”, we have now, instead,
a roiling, ever-changing political and religious battle. Who could have predicted, when
Francis Fukuyama so dismissively consigned history to its own dustbin, that only a few
years later new historical battle lines would be drawn? Who, reading the End of History,
could have foreseen the Bush Doctrine?
Samuel Huntington proposes that, in the coming war between cultures, we will be
confronted with “the West against the rest.” Leaving aside the inherent simplistic
reduction here, he does have a point. If, by “the rest”, he means those who have no shared
history with the West — that is, who do not spring from its essentially Judaeo-Christian
foundations, nor partake of its Greco-Roman understanding of the law — he does have a
point.
However, many of the previously colonized cultures have adopted and adapted this
essentially Western Weltanschauung. One could include, for example, Japan, or India.
Differences among cultures are not inherently conflictual. The growing alliance between
Japan and the West is born of Japan’s fear of China, and the West’s need for an ally in
that part of the world. A developed, Westernized, and cohesive ally.
Of particular interest to Gates of Vienna are the cultural clashes which Islam has created
as it comes up against whatever it considers “foreign”. Think of it as a kind of cultural
spontaneous combustion. This has been a perennial problem for Islam, one which was
resolved in its favor several times through brute force, before the gradual decline of the
Muslim world. Were it not for petroleum, Islam might have vanished. Now, however, its
more powerful tribes float on a sea of luxury while the “Arab street” wallows in its own
uncollected garbage.
At the moment, in early 2006, Islam’s infiltration of other cultures, its demand for the
dhimmification of others, and its absolutist and utopian visions, have created a long fault
line of chronic bloody terrorism.
The Baron explained the difficulties inherent in making any map encompassing what I
wanted to see. To be accurate, his cartography would have to include the ongoing
quotidian massacres that have occurred and continue behind the screen erected by the
legacy media, the screen on which they display the bread and circuses meant to trivialize
and distract. What does it matter that thirty Hindus died in Kashmir today, or that 350
women were raped in Darfur, when there is the serious matter of Paris Hilton videos to be
considered?
As Providence would have it, late in December the Baron discovered a series of tables at
The Religion of Peace (TROP) showing the location and casualties for every Islamic
terrorist attack since September 11th. “All you have to do,” I told the Baron, “is put those
little numbers on a map.” He didn’t say anything for a long time. Now I understand his
silence; in fact, I find it rather admirable. As it turned out, what I wanted took him well
over a hundred hours of his spare time to complete… The things we do for love…
All Islamic terror attacks since September 11, 2001
Here’s how he did it: he used the more than 1,300 place names from TROP and matched
them to various online maps and gazetteers, particularly Falling Rain. The locations in
Iraq, Pakistan, and India were particularly difficult to match, due to wildly varying
spellings. The results were collected in a database, and then he wrote hundreds of lines of
program code to create the images, learning the rudiments of Macromedia Flash MX to
build the animation. Meanwhile, having had the time to repent in leisure, I learned the
hard wisdom of being careful about what you ask for.
Those endless hours hunched over the keyboard staring at the names of villages in Hindi
and Urdu and Arabic and Tagalog has left the Baron’s eyesight a little worse for the wear.
Never mind; his labors produced a wonder. You cannot watch the display representing the
ongoing murderous intent of so many groups, all of them under the umbrella of a brutally
insane worldview, without realizing with a sinking heart what we are up against. Every
time a little flash goes off, lives wink out.
And so we come now to what I call The Bloody Borders Project. Or, on my bad days,
“that bloody Bloody Borders Project.” Perhaps, as you view it, you too will be changed
by what you see. You are seeing it because of all those falling bodies in New York City
on that September day in 2001. How ignorant we were not to know that bodies had been
falling, falling for years, all along those bloody borders.
Note: the Baron intends to update the Project every month, as time permits, with new
data provided by TROP. The maps shown here and at The Bloody Borders Project cover
incident data through February 22, 2006.
Warning: The animation file is over 8MB in size. It is difficult, if not impossible, to load
and view with a slow dialup, such as ours.
Update (3/4/2006 1:00 pm): Welcome to readers from Peaktalk, Instapundit, Little Green
Footballs, and Pajamas Media!
Everyone should note that we are aware of a problem with the Flash animation involving
the Mac. We will work to resolve it.
Also, Minh-Duc points out that the origin of the phrase “bloody borders” lies with V.S.
Naipaul, from his book Beyond Belief: Islamic Excursions Among the Converted
Peoples, and not Samuel Huntington. We always suspected that there was a prior author
for the quote; it’s good to know who it was. Thank you, Minh-Duc.

— Baron Bodissey
September 11th captured our attention. Prior to that, few in the West had taken serious
notice of the extent and virulence of Islamic terrorism. It is both brutal and enduring.
The name of this project was inspired by The Clash of Civilizations and The Remaking of
World Order by Samuel P. Huntington (available at Amazon). The following quote is
from an earlier article, “The Clash of Civilizations?” in Foreigns Affairs from the summer
issue of 1993:
“The interactions between civilizations vary greatly in the extent to which they are likely
to be characterized by violence. Economic competition clearly predominates between the
American and European subcivilizations of the West and between both of them and
Japan. On the Eurasian continent, however, the proliferation of ethnic conflict,
epitomized at the extreme in ‘ethnic cleansing,’ has not been totally random. It has been
most frequent and most violent between groups belonging to different civilizations. In
Eurasia the great historic fault lines between civilizations are once more aflame. This is
particularly true along the boundaries of the crescent-shaped Islamic bloc of nations from
the bulge of Africa to central Asia. Violence also occurs between Muslims, on the one
hand, and Orthodox Serbs in the Balkans, Jews in Israel, Hindus in India, Buddhists in
Burma and Catholics in the Philippines. Islam has bloody borders.”
The goal here is to represent graphically the geography and the intensity of the violence
on these “bloody borders.”
For decades before the Fall of 2001 Islamists terrorized their neighbors. However, the
Bloody Borders Project is concerned solely with the violence since 9-11.
Seeing the worldwide sweep of the Islamist enterprise makes it evident that the attacks on
the United States, despite their unprecedented horror, were but a minuscule piece of the
enormous mosaic of Salafist terror. The terror masters have established their first
beachheads in the West — more so in Western Europe than the United States — but their
murderous ideology had long since become a way of life in many other parts of the
world.
Looking at the these maps helps to broaden the view of anyone accustomed only to
mainstream media reports of terror attacks. The violence in Iraq, Afghanistan, and Israel
is very clear — Iraq has the highest concentration of terror since late 2003 — but much
of the rest of the world endures a quotidian brutality that is scarcely mentioned in the
Western press.
Particularly notable are Algeria — in which the violence is Muslim-on-Muslim — the
Caucasus, southern Thailand, the Philippines, and India, particularly the state of Jammu
and Kashmir. Islamists were terrorizing these places before September 11th, and their
killing of apostates and infidels will continue. Even if the Coalition withdraws
completely from Iraq and Afghanistan, and the Jews are driven into the sea, the slaughter
will not cease.
The goal of the Salafists — those who espouse the extreme fundamentalist form of Islam
— is nothing less than the ascendance of Islam worldwide, and the re-establishment of
the Caliphate to rule over the Umma, which is the collective body of the faithful along
with their slaves and vassals.
The Bloody Borders Project charts the ongoing progress of their efforts.

Incident Maps
Below are maps showing different views of data on Islamic terrorist attacks since 9-11.
When a map shows incident severity, it is aggregated at each location within the full time
period. This is why Baghdad and Kashmir have the highest severity rating, even though
individual incidents in those places are are less severe than the attack in Manhattan on
September 11th, 2001.
All Islamic terror attacks since September 11, 2001
Note: Maps do not use any incident data after February 22, 2006.
Umma Maps
These maps combine Muslim population statistics with data on Islamic terrorist attacks
since 9-11. The intensity of green shading in a country represents the level of Muslim
population (population statistics drawn from answers.com).
In the heart of the Umma, where the population is nearly 100% Muslim, the terrorist
attacks are relatively few in number. This may be due to the brutal dictatorships that most
Muslims live under, which would explain why Afghanistan and Iraq are now exeptions to
the rule. It would also explain why the "stans", the former Soviet republics of Central
Asia, are relatively free of Islamic terror attacks, since the people there live mostly under
corrupt authoritarian regimes.
Note: When a map shows incident severity, it is aggregated at each location within the
full time period. This is why Baghdad and Kashmir have the highest severity rating, even
though individual incidents in those places are are less severe than the attack in
Manhattan on September 11th, 2001.

“From the time Muslims started arriving, around 632 AD, the history of
India becomes a long, monotonous series of murders, massacres, spoliations,
and destructions. It is, as usual, in the name of ‘a holy war’ of their faith, of
their sole God, that the barbarians have destroyed civilizations, wiped out
entire races.” Mahmoud Ghazni, continues Danielou, “was an early example
of Muslim ruthlessness, burning in 1018 of the temples of Mathura, razing
Kanauj to the ground and destroying the famous temple of Somnath, sacred
to all Hindus. His successors were as ruthless as Ghazni: 103 temples in the
holy city of Benaras were razed to the ground, its marvelous temples
destroyed, its magnificent palaces wrecked.” Indeed, the Muslim policy vis a
vis India, concludes Danielou, seems to have been a conscious systematic
destruction of everything that was beautiful, holy, refined.
In recent years Pakistan, either directly or through its terrorist surrogates, has
fomented Islamist violence in the neighboring Indian state of Jammu and
Kashmir. The Bloody Borders maps show that the vast bulk of Islamic
terrorism in India occurs in Kashmir. There has been a de facto ethnic
cleansing of Hindus in whole districts of the state.
According to informed sources, the bomb blasts occurred between 5.30 and
6.30 p.m. (IST) in the famous Sankat Mochan Temple complex, near the
Benaras Hindu University and Varanasi cantonment railway station here,
killing at least seven on the spot and injuring several other devotees.
The injured have been admitted to the SS Hospital in the Benaras Hindu
University campus.
Soon after the blast, panic gripped the city as people here were seen talking
on phones to know about their relatives and friends.
The reports in the Western press have refrained so far from using the
dreaded I-word when describing the attack, but the New Kerala is not so
shy:
Giving a political colour to the incident, former Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister
and senior BJP leader Kalyan Singh demanded the dismissal of the Mulayam
Singh-led government.
And note the modern instance of the time-honored Muslim practice: the
target was a Hindu temple.
Since its inception Islam has enriched its adherents by plundering the infidel.
The relative wealth enjoyed by some Islamic countries today comes from
petroleum, and is not dependent on any inherent industry or productivity
among the faithful.
When the last stronghold of the infidels has been overrun, and the dream of
the worldwide Caliphate has been realized, from whom will Islam gain its
wealth? Sitting in the ruins of the civilized world, living their Utopian dream
under the Shari’ah, what can be plundered to keep the emirs in the style to
which they have become accustomed? Whose fat will they batten on then?

Baron,
I've often pondered this question. What do they think they would do, when they
are in complete control? They produce almost nothing. The UN study of the Arab
world a couple years back noted that the entire Arab world has only gotten a
couple hundred patents during the decade of the 1990's, while the tiny country of
South Korea has gotten over 16,000 patents in the year 1999 alone.
Islam destroys the intellectual ability of cultures, leaving them virtually impotent.
If they got their wish and ransacked the entire world, their oil would no longer
mean a thing, because nothing would function.
The Taliban in Afghanistan is the model Islamic nation. That's what the whole
world would look like.
It's the largest collective lunacy the world has ever known.

My knowledge of India's suffering from Islam was near zero prior to 9/11. I knew
it had all this turmoil but did not really know the adversaries except in the most
vague terms. I've learned a lot. Sometimes I think how much richer the world
would be if Islam had not destroyed so much. The destruction of the world wars
were horrible, but Islam really destroyed everything within its reach.
I cannot express enough gratitude regarding this post and the campaign to keep
educating the world on forgotten (in the West) bits of history. Like the history of
Asia Minor and the demise of Byzantium, the history of the slaughters in India
and the Mughal Empires are little known to Westerners. We must continue to
educate others on the history of Islamic conquest before that history repeats itself.
The "Hindu Kush" is not called by that name for no reason, after all.
