(58,785 posts)committed by Muslim terrorists, and 60% of those (11 and 13) were from 2 events.
Of course, a far greater threat comes from our own right-wing haters acting out.
Although, btw, those 215,000 deaths were about 0.065% of all Americans. Grab the nearest conservative and tell him that so he can calm down. Bad as it is, guaranteed he'll think it was far higher.

(58,785 posts)she started carrying a knife on her daily walks because of some brown-skinned boys who'd play on one of the streets after school. And our city was usually 15th or below in lowest crime in the nation. No, she wasn't crazy. She was very conservative and...just naturally very concerned.

(25,406 posts)And I suspect that many DUers are, too.
Looking back, I have been in several spots where there have been Islamic terrorist attacks and where I would have been killed if I had happened to have been there at a different time. I have never once been in a place where a right-wing terrorist attack has taken place.
Also, I fly quite frequently, and while there have been several Islamic terrorist attacks on aircraft there has not been a single right-wing terrorist attack on one.
14 people were killed in San Bernadino. 130 people were killed in Paris. Those blustering idiots in Oregon, however, have not killed or even hurt one single person.

9/11. Let me explain. Any religious fundamentalist prepared to fly a plane into a building based on religion is right wing to me. To be honest, in my opinion, Islamic terrorism is right wing terrorism.
Number Two:

Maybe not them. But if you paid any attention to the video, there are an average of 337 right wing terrorist attacks per year. Yes, right wing terrorists kill people.
