omnichaos 16 hours ago#1 That article has been circulated constantly for a few years now, and it's total nonsense. Firstly, the population of the US is less than 1% Muslim. And a small percentage of those are Islamists, and a small percentage of those are Jihadists. And Muslims in the US tend to be the most secular/Liberal Muslims on the planet.  Also notice that they start counting on 9/12 (ignoring the worst terrorist attack in world history.) And who knows which murders they're counting as a "white supremicist" attacks and which murders they're not counting as "Islamic terrorism." If you take population into account, Muslims are way over-represented as a demographic in US terrorism. A random US Muslim is much more likely to be terrorist than a random US Christian white male, as a random US Islamist is more likely to be a terrorist than a random US white supremicist. And this of course completely ignores terrorism globally, of which is well over 90% Islamic terrorism. The Left has to stop with this dishonesty and nonsense. Please stop making Liberals look like f***ing idiots and stop so easily handing the narrative that happens to contain more truth this time around (because Regressives have decided to continue to push this issue to new levels of wrongness and factual error) to the f***ing momos on the Right.
