I wish I could say I was even remotely surprised – perhaps only at the precise
time, and that’s all. For this is just another example of what I and so many
others have been saying, as recently as the Cherlie Hebdo attack just in
January.

Well, in this post, I’m here to straighten these people out on these things, as
Bill Maher did in his interview with Brian Levin after the Boston bombing –
video does not allow embedding. Please visit the site:
https://youtu.be/e-iBD8Y1MAY
The problem, ultimately, is this:
The bulk of “terrorism” comes from one broad group of people:

Muslims.
I know that that is partly a matter of definition:
But I want people to think of something. See this from my earlier post Guns &
Violence, Again…
Now see this (from Wikipedia):
The maps are pretty similar. The places on Earth with much interpersonal
violence are generally also the places that larger-scale prolonged conflicts.
One might note that Muslim nations have fairly low rates of interpersonal
homicide (assuming that these statistics are reliable, which is hardly
guaranteed). This is partly because of the system of clan retribution, as Peter
Frost explains here (The return of fear – emphasis mine)
Most Muslim immigrants come from societies where the State has
pacified social relations only in recent times and where men still see
violence as a legitimate and even necessary means to advance
personal interests, to defend themselves and their families, and to
acquire land, goods, and even women. Violence is constrained
not by the State but by a balance of terror—the threat of
retaliation by the victim or his kinsmen.
Hence, violence is Islamic societies quickly moves from being one-on-one (or
one-on-a few or few-on-few) affairs as it is in many other places in the world to
being protracted struggles between rival clans and tribes (featured at what is
the MATTER with you people? | hbd chick):
What Muslim groups putatively lack in interpersonal violence, they more than
make up for in prolonged mass conflict.
Despite these key facts, in response to this latest rampage in Paris, we have the
usual nonsense, as representated by these Tweets:

Perhaps what’s needed here is the idea of a terrorism quotient:
JayMan
@JayMan471
If there's such a thing as a "terrorism quotient," many Muslim

populations score significantly higher than average. A big deal
at extremes.
1:03 AM - Jan 12, 2015
This is modeled after the “Amish Quotient” of Greg Cochran and Henry
Harpending.
The idea is that there is a suite of behavioral traits that is more prevalent in
many Muslim populations which makes them more likely to perpetrate acts of
terrorism.
(Of course, every ethnic group has a group-typical suite of behavioral traits – an
“x quotient” – see Predictions on the Worldwide Distribution of
Personality.
JayMan
@JayMan471
Regression to the mean (in the statistical sense) explains why

we all have many ethnicity-typical behavioral traits.
7:15 PM - Nov 13, 2015
This is basic HBD.)
This is illustrated by the number of terrorist acts (defined here as instances of

mass murder/assault/hostage taking) per capita for a given population. There
is little question that this rate is incredibly high for many Muslim populations
relative to other populations (and of course, there is a great deal of variation
between Muslim populations) – even more so when you consider the sizes of
the Muslim populations living in Western countries:

Edit, 11/15/15 [And indeed, Emil Kirkegaard has found just that – from The
general religious factor among Muslims: a multi-level factor analysis
| Clear Language, Clear Mind:
In the review of a paper submitted to ODP some time ago, the

issue of a general extremism factor in religion came up.
...
Specifically, the topic was if and how one could rank order Christian
denominations on a more/less extremist scale.
...
I was recently reminded of the above due to re-seeing Pew

Research’s large-scale study of the beliefs of Muslims in
their home countries. The dataset is publicly available and is
fairly massive: 250 variables and a sample size of 32.6k. The
questions cover socioeconomic variables as well as a large number of
questions about stuff like Sharia
...
A general factor seems confirmed. I hereby dub it general religious

factor (GRF), hopefully no one has used that term or letter
combination yet
...
Mean level by country (reordered):
Emil noted this in a tweet:
Emil O W Kirkegaard
@KirkegaardEmil
@JayMan471 terrorism support surely loads on GRF among

Muslims. Just add the var and redo the analyses.

All that’s left is to see how predictive this factor is of each country’s per capita
rate of terrorist acts, and the “terrorism quotient” will be confirmed. ***End
Edit***]
But the problem with Muslims in the West is hardly confined to terrorism, but
plenty of regular old violence and other crime (especially in Europe – not so
much in North America) – again from Peter Frost:
In France, Muslims make up 60% of all prison inmates, while being

only 12% of the total population (Leclerc, 2014). Similarly, 7 out of
10 burglaries, assaults, and violent thefts are committed by first- or
second-generation immigrants (Chevrier and Raufer, 2014).
Most of these perps seem to be Muslim, although a third of them
may be West Indians, Africans, and Roma of nominally Christian
background. Muslims seem to be especially overrepresented in
serious violent crimes that lead to prison sentences.
Similar trends are developing elsewhere. Muslims make up 70% all

prison inmates in Spain and 45% in Belgium (WikiIslam, 2013 see
Note 1; Sudinfo.be, 2013). In England and Wales, the figure is
only 14%, versus 4.7% of the total population, apparently because
certain other communities are likewise overrepresented (Morris,
2014, see Note 2).
A Danish researcher has studied the relationship between

criminality and immigrant origin in Denmark, Norway, and Finland
(Kirkegaard, 2014a; Kirkegaard, 2014b; Kirkegaard, 2014c;
Kirkegaard and Fuerst, 2014). He found that the prevalence of

Islam in the immigrants’ home country was the single best predictor
of criminality both for “all crime” and for “violent crime,” being
better than the home country’s mean IQ or GDP per capita and
much better than its murder rate.
And let’s not forget Rotherham:
Report found 1,400 children abused between 1997 and 2013 in

Rotherham
The figure is likely to be a conservative estimate of the true scale
Victims terrorised with guns and doused in petrol and threatened
with fire
More than a third of the cases were already know to agencies
Author of the report condemned ‘blatant’ failings by council’s
leadership
Action blocked by political correctness as staff ‘feared appearing
racist’
Majority of victims described the perpetrators as ‘Asian’
[overwhelmingly Pakistani] men
Leader of Rotherham Council has stepped down with immediate

effect
No council employees will receive disciplinary action, leaders state
This illustrates that the typical WEIRDO response to these crimes – such as
pointing out (correctly) that only a small fraction of all Muslims commit these
crimes, as true as that is, misses the point.
What’s more there is no reason to have large populations of Muslims

in Northwestern European countries. It’s one thing when a group has a
historic presence in a place, like American Blacks or the long-term Mexican
residents of El Norte in the U.S. do. The country is as much theirs as it is that
of the Whites living there. But the Muslim populations in Europe are
overwhelmingly recent immigrants.
At the very least, one would imagine that it would be prudent to stop
admitting more Muslims into these countries. As much as I am loathe to
quote Ann Coulter:
Ann Coulter
@AnnCoulter
Why does NO ONE say the obvious thing on TV?! It's insane.
Don't want terrorism in US? Stop importing Muslims!

But there’s a good chance that that won’t happen. Much of what I say here –
meant to jar Northwestern Europeans into prudent action to protect their
societies – may end up falling on deaf ears. The reason why is explained by the
very same HBD that explains why Muslims are so much more violent, on
average – namely, Northwestern European universalism:
As we saw previously in my posts Clannishness – the Series: Zigzag

Lightning in the Brain, there is a strong correlation between the size of the
Muslim fraction in European countries and their scientific (and other
intellectual) performance. A suite of behavioral traits found principally in
Northwest Europeans – regard for all humanity, generosity, high-trust, the
absence of kin-based social bonds – leads them to accept clannish migrants. See
The Rise of Universalism:
Worse still, NW Europeans accept immigrants from the most incompatible

corner of the world, the Muslim/Arab world:
World Values Survey

@ValuesStudies
Based on #WVS data: Welzel-Inglehart Cultural Map 2015.

11:00 PM - Jan 26, 2015
In many respects, Muslim groups (especially Arab ones) are the polar opposites
of Northwest Europeans. Northwestern European society is liberal, democratic,
individualistic, secular, and high-trust. Arab society is illiberal, autocratic,
collectivist, extremely religious, and low-trust. Social bonds in Northwestern
European societies are primarily among non-relatives (at least past the nuclear
family). Social bonds in Arab society are structured around kin. Institutions in
NW European societies are rule-bound. Institutions in Arab societies are
corrupt.
This is genetic in origin, the product of evolution.
For more, see these two key posts by HBD Chick:
big summary post on the hajnal line | hbd chick
community vs. communism | hbd chick
Because the differences between these groups of people is inherited,

the result of centuries of natural selection in their respective
environments, these features can’t be expected to change much.
Northwestern Europeans and Arabs (and many other Muslim groups) are, as
groups, largely incompatible. Social strife emerges when they are brought
together as they are in modern Northwestern European countries.
To illustrate that Northwestern European universalism is responsible for the

settling of large numbers of Muslims in Europe, note what you don’t see:

Unfortunately, the very HBD that leads to these differences also makes it hard
for Northwestern Europeans to see the folly in their immigration policies. In
reaction to events like the Paris attacks, we get this:
As discussed by M.G. over at Those Who Can See: Reacting to Spree

Killings, Progressively
Oh, and for the New Atheists out there that like to blame Muslim violence on
their religion, it’s worth noting that the behaviors we associate with religion –
including the religion itself – are all heritable:
The Atheist Narrative
Religion comes to the religious because that’s how their brains are
wired. A believer cannot think any different … Believers literally
have God/Earth spirits/Buddha on the brain. To such a person,
their deities are as real as the Sun in the sky (since, after all, the
believer’s brain is the only brain he’s got). Religiosity is highly
heritable (as are all behavioral traits)…
This indicates that religious belief – or lack there of – is largely

intractable. It is a futile effort to get people to give up religion en
masse (or, for that matter, to get non-believers to believe). You may
have some individual “successes”, largely because of changing the
environmental context of people who already had the genetic
potentialfor whatever belief you want to instill, but you’re not going
to achieve broad change in the population.
However, the “New Atheists” don’t seem to see it that way. Many of
these speakers, including the likes of Richard Dawkins, or groups
such as American Atheists proselytize atheism. Indeed, Dawkins,
a self-described “militant atheist”, is very much an atheist
evangelist.
The belief that these individuals’ actions appear to be based is that

by spreading atheism and getting people to give up their religious
beliefs, society can be improved.
As I have previous written, that is a foolhardy goal. The

unsavory traits the New Atheists seek to change stem not from the
religion, but from the people. Indeed, in the spirit of what HBD
Chick would ask, where do religious beliefs come from? Sorry
atheist zealots, you can’t get Muslims to behave like modern
civilized (Northwestern European) people by getting them to give up
Islam. You can’t turn the U.S. Deep South and Greater
Appalachia into Yankeedom or the Midlands by getting the
former two to give up fundamentalist Christianity.
So what to do, then? First and foremost, especially for Northwestern European
countries, is to stop admitting Muslims en masse into Europe.
(It’s worth mentioning that the problem is much more acute for Europe than it
is for NW European diaspora nations like the U.S. or Canada. Put simply, the
Atlantic Ocean is a bigger barrier than the Mediterranean Sea. Europe gets a
much more representative slice of the Muslim population. By contrast,
immigrants to North America tend to be more select because of the demands of
making the trip. Hence, here in the States we get higher IQ, less clannish
Muslims. Of course, that’s not all that rosy – a smart terrorist is a much more
dangerous thing than a stupid terrorist. But North American Muslims don’t
have the incredibly high crime and poverty rates European Muslims do.)
At the very earnest, any attempts to address the problem should start with not
making it worse. Even more troublesome, a loose, porous border allows
radicalized Muslims to travel freely from terror hotspots in the Middle East to
Western sites. France’s emergency reaction to close it’s border was the right
step (but, on cue, there are calls for France to open its border once again –Why
France Should Not Close Its Borders). Cutting the number of “refugees”
granted asylum in Western nations would be next. (Most of whom are economic
migrants anyway.)
That addressed new Muslims in the country, but what about the existing
populations? I for one do not advocate mass deportations, nor do we
need encourage Westerners to engage in mass persecution of their
Muslim populations. That said, some steps can be taken to tackle the issue.
For example:
Disallow entry for families of Muslim immigrants

Deport any immigrant convicted of a crime
Now, that said, for France – with it’s very high Muslim population and it’s
much higher Muslim share of births in the country – there doesn’t seem
to be an easy remedy. They’re in a hard position – and worst of all, they don’t
even realize it, generally.
Unfortunately, I don’t see this matter headed to good places, neither for
Europeans or for the Muslims and other foreigners that live in Europe. That last
thing we need is to inspire backlash against the Muslim residents by the natives.
One hopes that steps to address this issue in an orderly and humane way can be
taken, but I have to admit, that’s just a hope.
