MORE INFORMATION REQUIRED

Antony "Leftard" Loewenstein reckons government and media aren't giving us the full story on terrorism:
We're told that we live in the age of terrorism. Our government and mainstream media fill our heads with an imminent threat. ASIO recently estimated that up to 800 Muslim 'extremists' are living in Australia and, in the words of The Australian, 'could be motivated to carry out a London-style attack.'

It's a petrifying thought that Australia could be vulnerable to terrorist attack. But do we know how much reliable information about terrorism we are actually receiving? In the Western media, there appear to be limits on the acceptable parameters of the debate surrounding terrorism.
If this list is even remotely close to accurate Leftard's absolutely right, we're not getting anywhere near the whole story:
This week TROP [The Religion Of Peace] documented a 3,000th Islamic terror attack committed since 9/11...
This little incident hasn't made the list yet:
An Iraqi insurgent group posted a video on the Internet on Wednesday showing the apparent beheading of two Iraqis it said had spied for the U.S. military.
The list compilers at TROP have assumed a never ending, full-time task.
