IMO:
The OK beheading was done by a very disturbed man who just happen to have converted to Islam. The Ft. Hood shooting not so sure, even though I orgianlly thought it was workplace violence, but not so sure anymore.
I can't post the graphics now, but what's also interesting from the U.S. data is that for the time period, the attack success rate averages at 77.94% but that the average lethality rate is 16.59%. 70.59% of the lethal attacks were committed with firearms. Historically, and generally speaking, bombings are the most common form of terrorism, and whole this is true in the U.S., they are not the most lethal.
