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.
