This is the issue with statistics that looks at events in isolation without context. Islamic terrorism in England is not relevant to terrorist acts that took place in, or originated from, what many people considered to be an occupied territory (Ireland), but if you lump all "terrorism" into one group, it paints a different picture.

It's like how in Canada, the Air India bombing was the largest mass murder and terrorist act in Canadian history. Yet it had more to do with Indian politics and wasn't an attack on Canada like the 2014 Parliament Hill shooting that had far fewer casualties. If you were speaking specifically to statistics, 1985 was a worse year than 2014 when it came to domestic terrorism, but 2014 was probably more dangerous if you were to consider the potential for a random attack on Canadian soil (although the danger is still small).
