Know your terrorist

What a silly title eh? As if we don't constantly have images, videos, sights and sounds of "our" terrorist foe drummed into us every time we do anything other than literally watch paint dry. I mean, this little game of spot the terrorist isn't exactly difficult is it? Try your luck!

OK, the Poorhouse made it harder than he had to - after all they both had facial hair to confuse the issue. But in true Daily Mail propaganda fashion, the Poorhouse reckons most of the UK populous would have gone for the one on the left, due to the apparently literally killer combination of headgear, big beard, and darker coloured skin. Shove a Koran in his hand, and it's a done deal, right?

Well no, not unless stock image sites have a high incidence of ex-terrorists within their libraries. That's just a random guy. The one on the right is Francisco Javier Lopez Pena, who was the (political?) head of Euskadi Ta Askatasuna: the ETA - an organisation banned as being of a terrorist bent, having killed several hundred people and injured many more in the name of Basque separatism.

OK sceptics, the Poorhouse hears you say, well of course one religious looking fella is a goodie and one beard-free pale guy is evil; that's just chance. But it's right to continue to fear and bully the Muslim minorities here in "civilised" Europe because that's where all the trouble come from. After all, now Europol have published their report on the EU Terrorism Situation we even have figures to back it up (NB: report mirrored onsite here in case it goes astray from its original location). Check this pie chart of the terrorist attacks that took place within Europe in 2006. It's divided up as to type / motivation of the group or individuals responsible for it.

Guess which flavour of pie is which?

  • Islamist
  • Separatist
  • Left-Wing
  • Right-Wing
  • Other/Not Specified

Once you're done, click here and see if you got it right.
