You really have to go back in time to find these examples. Their dates of terror operation are 1970&#x27;s, 1980, 1980&#x27;s, 1995 and for one which doesn&#x27;t very well compare, 2010. And then they were largely hounded down and imprisoned (or executed, for McVeigh). Islamist terrorism is a newer and also much bigger trend (even in the West, although the vast majority of people killed are in Muslim countries).<p>I see this line of argumentation regularly, but since those movements were brought down with significant police and military operations, I don&#x27;t see them as good examples for why Muslim extremism should not be brought down by police and military operations. There are other reasons, but this comparison doesn&#x27;t qualify.
