The vast majority of terrorism in America is committed by extreme political groups and for some reason, latin groups although I'm not sure what the story is there.

As an American, you're more likely to die in a terror attack committed by a psychotic white teenager who has brought a gun to school or a public place than you are from an attack orchestrated by a Muslim of Arabic descent. Attacks on places like abortion clinics from Christian extremists is more common in America than Islamic terror attacks.

It's near enough the same story in Europe, even with the recent attacks in France you're still more likely to die to a terror attack orchestrated from a European entity than a Muslim one.

You are not comparing like to like, you are talking about IN AMERICA... first of all muslims are only 1% of the US population, but they are responsible for 7% of the terrorist deaths? what does that tell you?

but i don't understand why you are only talking about America? i'm talking about GLOBALLY. Why are you pretending like the muslim majority countries don't exist, and why aren't you including those countries in your opinion??

and calling a lone gunman teenager a "terrorist" is ridiculous... there are not a billion white teenagers who all go to the same mosque and congregate every week. they are individuals, they can;t be lumped together at all. but people who self identify as part of an organization certainly can be lumped together, it's their culture, their texts, their religion, their ideology that links them all together.

comparing muslim terrorists to teens with mental health problems and a hormonal imbalance is not the same at all.
