This is truely an amazing post, and I am posting it in entirety from Atlas Shrugs, who did the same thing from Gates of Vienna:

A Bloody Borders Update from Gateway�

After my initial post on The Bloody Borders Project, a4g and other commenters suggested that I develop maps to illustrate the density of Muslim population as well as the terrorist attacks.

All Islamic terror attacks since September 11, 2001

The nature of the �bloody border� is astonishingly clear in this map. With the exceptions of Iraq and Afghanistan, the highest concentrations of terrorist attacks occur along the edges of the Umma, where it meets the areas of lower (but significant) Muslim population.� 

And now compare this map:

Islamic terror attacks in 2002

With this map:�

Islamic terror attacks in 2005

You can see that the Coalition interventions in Iraq and Afghanistan have, from a systemic point of view, caused the border of the Umma to involute, to form fractal boundaries extending into what had been the heart of Islam.� 

It�s not just the American troops that bring this about � the arrival of new ideas and new political systems brings its own instability and generates the �bloody border� response. The political and social concepts introduced by the Coalition into the Umma are an extreme violation of fundamentalist Islamic tenets. Thus the hardcore zealots of the Umma are drawn in to oppose the introduction of what they see as dangerous and deadly memes.

This is a must read post………...go to Gateway Pundit here now, there’s more , much more
