So when they say "on American soil" they aren't counting all of the incidents at embassies and other American soil in foreign countries? That changes the numbers substantially, I believe.
"Question:
Does the Quran really contain dozens of verses promoting violence?
Summary Answer:
The Quran contains at least 109 verses that call Muslims to war with nonbelievers for the sake of Islamic rule. Some are quite graphic, with commands to chop off heads and fingers and kill infidels wherever they may be hiding. Muslims who do not join the fight are called 'hypocrites' and warned that Allah will send them to Hell if they do not join the slaughter.
Unlike nearly all of the Old Testament verses of violence, the verses of violence in the Quran are mostly open-ended, meaning that they are not restrained by the historical context of the surrounding text. They are part of the eternal, unchanging word of Allah, and just as relevant or subjective as anything else in the Quran.
The context of violent passages is more ambiguous than might be expected of a perfect book from a loving God, however this can work both ways. Most of today's Muslims exercise a personal choice to interpret their holy book's call to arms according to their own moral preconceptions about justifiable violence. Apologists cater to their preferences with tenuous arguments that gloss over historical fact and generally do not stand up to scrutiny. Still, it is important to note that the problem is not bad people, but bad ideology.
Unfortunately, there are very few verses of tolerance and peace to abrogate or even balance out the many that call for nonbelievers to be fought and subdued until they either accept humiliation, convert to Islam, or are killed. Muhammad's own martial legacy - and that of his companions - along with the remarkable stress on violence found in the Quran have produced a trail of blood and tears across world history."

The link actually contains passages from the Quran, not only advocating violence, but actually demanding it; it's pretty interesting reading. I'm a little rusty on my Bible reading, don't think you'll find anything like it in the Bible.
This isn't to say that I believe that all Muslims are violent, because I don't. I've met and actually became acquainted with some of them.
Non-Muslims Carried Out More than 90% of All Terrorist Attacks on U.S. Soil

The above link will take you to the acts of Islamic terrorists since the 1980's. Pretty alarming, the lengths these guys go to and apparently don't seem to care of their own people.
I don't know if I know a Muslim. If I do, they haven't caused any acts of terror and been popped for it. I believe that I can safely say with a great deal of accuracy that not all Muslims are terrorists. Conversely, not all terrorists are Muslim.
Pertaining to Christians killing millions. The killed millions of people under the guise of religion. Not so much today. Granted, the catholics and protestants in Ireland often have a car bombing, just to keep everyone on their toes.
Historically speaking Christians killed millions, they started the Crusades, Christians instituted the pogroms, Christians killed millions of indigenous peoples because they considered them savages because they didn't accept Christ as their savior, and oh yea, there was the inquisition and all the Jews they killed too, not to mention practitioners of pagan religions.
Timothy McVeigh who bombed Oklahoma city was not Muslim, the bombers at Columbine were not Muslim.
I do not condone the violence but who started bombing the poop out in the Islamic countries in the last decade(s) ??? oh, yea, that was us as in the U.S. They have a clear reason to hate us yet, when I was traveling in Islamic countries from 2001-2004 I met countless Islamic people who wanted to prove to me that they were good people.
Don't believe the hate propaganda against any religion !!!!!
