Amazing statistic

There's commentary aplenty about the Muslim riots weekend before last here. The situation has calmed down and it was peaceful last weekend both in Sydney and Melbourne, but the media is full of pontificators all giving their particular take on it all. I think that's a good thing. A national discussion analysing the events.

There's one thing mentioned in all this that's really surprised me. Up until now I've pretty much just assumed that we in the West have given the Muslim world an absolutely terrible time and been responsible for the majority of Muslim deaths in the last 70 years or so. This isn't only not true, but it's grossly untrue.

It was in some opinion piece somewhere where I read a reference to this, can't remember which opinion piece there's been so many. I thought "wow" and wanted some cold hard statistics to actually see this in fact, rather than taking a comment in an opinion piece as right. 

I ended up here:

In a different perspective, some 11,000,000 Muslims have been violently killed since 1948, of which 35,000, or 0.3 percent, died during the sixty years of fighting Israel, or just 1 out of every 315 Muslim fatalities. In contrast, over 90 percent of the 11 million who perished were killed by fellow Muslims. More

Far out. It appears the rage against the West is perhaps a touch misguided.
