"As a practical matter, the current hysteria needs guidance, not a sense of proportion along the lines of what the New York Times just mentioned in passing: "The death toll from jihadist terrorism on American soil since the Sept. 11 attacks -- 45 people -- is about the same as the 48 killed in terrorist attacks motivated by white supremacist and other right-wing extremist ideologies.... And both tolls are tiny compared with the tally of conventional murders, more than 200,000 over the same period.""
7,397 people were killed in Chicago during that same time period.

Houston had 3,614 murders from 2001-2013.
So if you want to worry about getting killed, worry about crazy cops, friends, family member, and neighbors killing uoi instead of nutty muslim terrorists.
Don't you think these statistics are actually pretty bad? It's basically saying that since the day Islamic terrorists killed over 2000 people, they have been as violent as your average white supremacist group. So not including the 2000 that died that day, they're as violent as white supremacist terrorists, with the added factor that they're continuing to attack Europe and promising America will be next.
To me it seems like the mentality of an abused housewife to view these statistics as promising in relation to Muslims . It's like saying "well since my husband beat me half to death with a baseball bat he's only beat me as much as an average domestic abuse victim so I'm sure there's nothing to worry about"
Nice try.
What I said was that muslim and white supermacists kill an insignificant number of people in America at this time. Crazy cops,friends, family member, and neighbors kill people like they're mowing the lawn.
Over 200,000 dead from crazy cops, friends, family members, and neighbors versus less than 100 dead during the same period from muslim and white supermacists. Of the two death tolls which would would rather have? If only 93 people had been murdered in all of America since 2001 you would think you're living in heaven. Instead people run around like crazy chickens clamoring for wars in foreign countries that will cost $trillions which they don't want to pay for with taxes. In addition they want thousands of military personnel to get killed and wounded because they are wimpy cowards who fear some insignificant problem that they are willing to surrender all of their freedoms in a vain attempt to gain safety. The real enemy is the people who want to do that.
