96% Islamist? The figure mixes two different categories REPRODUCE THIS INVESTIGATION Repeat the category check and calculation yourself, with the limits beside each step. You will need: A browser and Excel or another spreadsheet app; Python 3 is optional for the included calculation script ACCESS AND DATA LIMITS These downloads contain our transcribed public counts and calculations. They do not contain individual cases, covert investigations, a deduplicated national dataset or proof of the publisher's method. Direct official PDF downloads may show a verification screen; our source text was checked through the web reader.

Compare the original words Open the original Instagram post. Compare the caption's federal scope with the wider image headline. Find the 96% label and the nine/two counts. Keep in mind: The exact wording was preserved during our signed-in check. Instagram may require login; the source-notes download explains our access. Original post: https://www.instagram.com/visegrad.24/p/DebRuovCdcx/ 2. Find the official 2025 counts Open document 21/4372. Go to question 66, printed pages 48 and 49, PDF pages 54 and 55. The answer is dated 26 February 2026. Read the question, the complete reply and its scope. Keep in mind: Look for 180, 9, 2 and 114. The measure is newly opened Federal Public Prosecutor proceedings in calendar 2025. Question 66 and full reply: https://dserver.bundestag.de/btd/21/043/2104372.pdf#page=54 3. Check the second category before adding Read the definition on printed page 49. It includes international non-Islamist terrorism and international left-wing and right-wing extremism. Keep this category separate from Islamist terrorism. Category definition: https://dserver.bundestag.de/btd/21/043/2104372.pdf#page=55 4. Recalculate the possible route to 96% Open Four reported counts / CSV in the download links. Add its four reported count values, then add the Islamist and foreign-related values. Divide the second sum by the first and multiply by 100. (180 + 114) / (180 + 114 + 9 + 2) × 100 = 96.3934426% Keep in mind: In Excel enter =(180+114)/(180+114+9+2)*100 and round to zero decimal places. Matching 96% does not prove this was the author's method. Source of the four values: https://dserver.bundestag.de/btd/21/043/2104372.pdf#page=54 5. Cross-check the later category breakdown Open 21/5343. Read questions 5, 14 and 20 for the new 2025 counts under international right-wing terrorism, international left-wing terrorism and international non-Islamist terrorism. Compare with the cross-check CSV. 1 + 2 + 111 = 114 Keep in mind: Compatibility of aggregate counts is not case-level reconciliation. Do not add active-case counts or numbers of suspects to new-proceedings counts. Later official reply: https://dserver.bundestag.de/btd/21/053/2105343.pdf 6. Read the counting limits Read the April reply's introduction on PDF pages 1 and 2. It says proceedings can appear under more than one category and excludes covert cases. Read the later questions to see other categories beyond the four-count sum. Keep in mind: A row sum of 305 is not a verified total of different cases in all Germany. Do not turn it into a national attack rate. April introduction: https://dserver.bundestag.de/btd/21/053/2105343.pdf#page=1 7. Check what happened to the proceedings Return to question 66. Note the alleged offences abroad, IS/Taliban connections, transfers and discontinuances. Keep a count of cases opened separate from outcomes and attacks. Scope and alleged foreign offences: https://dserver.bundestag.de/btd/21/043/2104372.pdf#page=54 8. Run the optional script and retain uncertainty Extract the recalculation ZIP and run python calculate.py from that folder, or use the Excel formula above. The script reads the CSVs and should return 305, 294, 96.3934426% and a cross-check sum of 114. Keep in mind: The script checks arithmetic only.
