#6  Numbers are great.
Bad guys killed good people.
Evil guys told them to.

We allowed it to happen.

#5  Read the article. The distinction is between "terrorist incidents" and "terrorist fatalities". If you count terrorist incidents, then 9/11 is counted as one incident, and so is the beating to death, in prison, of a pedophile by an Aryan brotherhood inmate, and so is the Oklahoma bombing, and so is a hate crime directed at a muslim mosque. Counting terrorist FATALITIES factors in the seriousness of the incident, which puts Oklahoma at #2 and 9/11 at #1. Of course, leaving out 9/11 skews the measures further. Oklahoma accounted for most of the remaining 6%.

As expended, The leftist trolls responding to the article clearly avoid the point, insisting on counting incidents instead of fatalities.

#4  statistics

a lot depends on definition of terrorism

a lot depends on the start and end time of the data

the part that the Islamic apologist miss or intentionally ignore is that, in muslim majority countries, Islamic terrorism is responsible for the deaths of tens of thousands of muslims every year

and since Islamic terrorism is Islam in a more virulent form, to me, the real killer of muslims is Islam itself

also, fear of Islam is real and is justified

#3  But, but, what about all the incidents of Islamophobia? The rolled eyes, the frowns, the failure to acknowledge the glorious things Islam has contributed to America?

#2  94%? Yes, but, but, but this goes against the meme/narrative that has been pushed for so long. The basket of deplorables/unredeemables/war fighters seem to have gotten this.

#1  We'll hear a lot of that, not, right there with which self identifying community commits a gross disproportionate amount of violent crime. Things not to be seen or heard in the LSM.
