As far as terrorism against the US, Muslim population is 25% and they are responsible for more than 90% of terrorist attacks against the US and US Embassies. So it may be true in this case but what about economically?

That seems to be true in all facets of life. The office, criminals on the street, unpleasant people. Most people tend to be decent, it only takes a handful to make life difficult for the rest of the world.

Since when does terrorist attacks in the US the measuring device for the world's problems. Muslims are by far not the world's problems. Neiter is Christian religious bigotry against non-whites. Far less than 20% of the population cause pretty much 100% of the worlds problems. And they are definitely anything but muslim. They are the ones in power, but do not use their power for good. With great power comes great responsibility. It is up to you whether you will use this power for good or use it for peronal gain. Those with great power have appetites for personal gain that are so beyond comprehension that the planet and millions of its inhabitents suffer massive devestation.
(Please give me best answer. Thank you! :D)

I think it makes sense for both issues. Consider two things: The squeaky wheel gets the grease, and the game telephone.
In telephone one person passes a phrase(gossiping or complaining, essentially starting an issue, debate or resistance) then by the time it gets down the row its completely distorted and each person has taken their own truth and offense away from it, then they react.
Squeaky wheel gets the grease, once someone starts a major debate or resistance everybody turns their head to see what the big deal is and causes everyone to form an opinion and spend the majority of their lives suddenly focusing on this one issue, even when it might not ever affect them.
These are snowball effect issues. Which are common in government and politics. One person or groups' actions spark millions of reactions.

The United States accounts for roughly 20% of the worlds population. Makes sense to me.

I would of thought 25% a high estimate.
Economically of course terrorism is accountable for a huge vacuum of funds world wide. considering the jump in the price of public liability ever since 911.

It is a generalization, and generalizations have some truth, but there are always a lot of exceptions.
It is like saying 80% of water is cold.
Timothy McVeigh was not muslim, and neither was David Koresh, or Jim Jones, or Charles Manson.
How about 80% of Christians are good, and 20% are bad, and 2% are really really bad?

Similar economically. Certain countries (but maybe they are more than 20 percent?) have always been and will continue to be a drain on the rest of us.
Do you think that the 25 percent you mentioned are the cause or the effect of US policies....... or perhaps a combination.

Seems to fit the 80/20 model used in economics.

Far more than 90% of the terror attacks.

I see it as 20% supporting 80% of the worlds population. The half full, half empty theory.
Got to be positive.
