    They're around 1.1-1.2 percent of the population in the US and commit around 11-13 percent of the terrorist attacks. These numbers are for the past five years. You can see the raw data from the Global Terrorism Database from the University of Maryland.

    I don't see how you disentangled those numbers from that site, but holy fuck there's a lot of things they call terrorist attacks. No school shootings included though afaik.

    Also, how did 851 people get injured in the LV attack? Was there more than one person, or was it just people stampeding over each other trying to get away?



    Here's something I found that seems to agree with you though. Fair enough.

    https://www.theatlantic.com/ideas/ar...t-wing/581284/

    From 2009 through 2018, right-wing extremists accounted for 73 percent of such killings, according to the ADL, compared with 23 percent for Islamists and 3 percent for left-wing extremists. In other words, most terrorist attacks in the United States, and most deaths from terrorist attacks, are caused by white extremists. But they do not cause the sort of nationwide panic that helped Trump win the 2016 election and helped the GOP expand its Senate majority in the midterms.

    The percentage of the population wasn't from that site.

    That aside, I think it's fucked up that I can fuck a girl in the ass and choke her on my dick until she pukes when she's 16, and that's all good.

    But if she sends me a picture of her tits, I'm put on a sex offender registry and go to federal pound me in the ass prison.

    This seems to suggest even a higher % of attacks are by Muslims. It doesn't include things like LV or other mass shootings though.

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Terror..._United_States

    From this, there were 57 terrorist attacks in the US since 2010, 24 of which were committed by Muslims. The Muslim attacks caused 86 deaths and 443 casualties. The non-Muslim attacks caused 57 deaths and 110 casualties.

    If Muslims are 1.1% of a US pop. of 300,000,000, this would work out to 1 terrorism-related death for every 383k Muslim citizens and 1 non-fatal casualty for every 62k Muslim citizens since 2010.

    So, are Muslim citizens a serious threat to American lives?
