BTW: An example of a non-correlative relationship between statistics is: Last year students’ scores on math tests in Minnesota increased. Last year there were more hurricanes in the Caribbean. The higher test scores are leading to more hurricanes or visa versa.

There are far more muslims than non-muslims. In particular, there are more Arab muslims than Britons. Consequently, Reid represents a higher proportion of the British population than the 19 Arabs who acted on 9/11 are of the Arab muslim population. Does that mean that Britons are propotionately more likely to try to blow up a plane than an Arab Muslim?
Like I said, statistics can be used to prove almost anything. They are generally used to prove anything but the truth.
Asshole.
