96% Islamist? The figure mixes two different categories

Evidence checked: 13 October 2026

The 96% can be reconstructed by adding Islamist terrorism to a separate category that includes non-Islamist terrorism. That combined figure cannot accurately be called Islamist alone. It also describes selected federal investigation counts, not the share of attacks in Germany.

The finding concerns the inaccurate category label and the broader scope of the image headline. We have not established the publisher's exact source or intention, so we do not label this deliberate disinformation.

Research checked 13 October 2026. We inspected the original post and two official parliamentary replies, translated the relevant definitions into English and recalculated published counts. The public CSVs are our factual transcriptions, not raw case-level government data. The category share is a reconstruction with explicitly limited scope. Research and production assisted by AI.
