25,000 non-Muslim casualties of terrorism last year

I already blogged the State Dept's report on terrorism which showed the number of terror incidents shot through the roof in 2005, but reading this mention in a USAToday article, something else struck me...

Overall, the report tallied about 11,000 terror attacks around the world last year, resulting in more than 14,600 deaths. That is almost a fourfold increase in attacks from 2004, though the agency attributes the change largely on new ways of tallying the incidents.

At least 10,000 to 15,000 of the approximately 40,000 people killed or wounded worldwide were Muslims, most of them in Iraq, said the National Counterterrorism Center, which provided statistical information to the State Department.

About 3,500 of last year's attacks occurred in Iraq and about 8,300 of the deaths occurred there, accounting for a large part of the increase over 2004.

Okay, if I'm doing my math right, that means there were at least 25,000 non-Muslims killed or wounded in terror attacks last year. It's not that I value Muslim terror victims less, but as Iraq is included in the statistics, I'm not surprised by that number.

But, I'm about as news-junkie as news-junkie gets, and that 25,000 number is surprising to me, because it's a pretty big terror attack that kills or wounds a hundred and you'd be looking at a major attack outside Iraq more than one every two days. Or at least one major attack a week with many smaller events at several a day. Am I missing something, am I forgetting something?
