That's because they are both incredibly rare
Well WS aren't rare unfortunately.
WS that become terrorists are luckily rare though.

Same logic can be used for Islamic supremacists. The kicker? There's almost double the number of Muslims (lots of bleedover as there's quite a few white Muslims) than white people and a much higher percentage of them hold views you'd think are extreme.Well WS aren't rare unfortunately.

Eh, I would say it's about the same when you take atrocities committed by groups like the KKK throughout the years such as the Tulsa race and Lawrence massacres, which the klan took part in. The KKK between 1867 to 1877 killed over 3,000+ lives and singlehandedly destroyed what was supposed to be the Reconstruction era.
From what I understand, according to statistics of terrorism committed in the United States throughout the years (also counting planned/failed attempts), the far right has a higher count overall than Islamist terror groups but Islamist terror groups have the highest count for single terror attacks like 9/11.
No extremist group is blown out of proportion, Islamist, white supremacist or whatever. Both are a threat that need to be stopped.

Lovely post but anecdotes don't change facts. And I stated verifiable facts.
Lol, seriously? If nothing else look at the behavior of their figureheads for examples.Islam, Christianity.... is there any difference?
No, not really.

It seems you're defensive of Muslims because you keep making rebuttals to points I haven't made. Read the last few points before taking exception to this post please.So you say. Personally I think it's pretty complicated and arguably zero percent of people take the time to formulate an educated opinion; yes I'm obviously a part of that zero percent, but I'm working on it.
Here's a pretty comprehensive report on Islam and the Patterns in Terrorism and Violent Extremism
There's a lot going on in that report, but here is what they considered that the clear patterns indicate:
- First, the overwhelming majority of extremist and violent terrorist incidents do occur in largely Muslim states.
- Second, most of these incidents are perpetrated by a small minority of Muslims seeking power primarily in their own areas of operation and whose primary victims are fellow Muslims.
- Third, almost all of the governments of the countries involved are actively fighting extremism and terrorism, and most are allies of Western states that work closely with the security, military, and counterterrorism forces of non-Muslim states to fight extremism and terrorism.
- Fourth, the vast majority of Muslims oppose violent extremism and terrorism, and,
- Fifth, religion is only one of many factors that lead to instability and violence in largely Muslim states. It is a critical ideological force in shaping the current patterns of extremism, but it does not represent the core values of Islam and many other far more material factors help lead to the rise of extremism.
Not me. Fuck, I love getting stabbed. In fact, I'm going to get stabbed right now.You guys are scared of stabbings? Rofl
You guys are retarded
Using your logic anything done by the Westboro Baptist Church is Christianity’s fault.Of course it has nothing to do with faith when they are inspired by Islamic State militant groups.
Who actually knows a White Supremacist? I've yet to meet one.
Mean while the middle east gets carpet bombed on the daily with multiple drone attacks
You guys are retarded
Using your logic anything done by the Westboro Baptist Church is Christianity’s fault.
No it’s not.It kind of is
Using your logic anything done by the Westboro Baptist Church is Christianity’s fault.
If the US fell apart socially and economically the way the Middle East has, if Kentuckians and Tennesseans were bombed and embargoed out of existence, you don’t think that would happen with Christian groups? You guys are truly living in denial if you think what’s happening in the Muslim world can’t or won’t happen with Christians. It has before, and I’m willing to bet it will again.westboro baptist church took over 2 countries, declared it as christian state, kills anybody that rejects jesus and instructs their supporters to commit terrorist acts all over the world?
No it’s not.
