I'm sure you saw that stat and would just love to use it to support your narrative, but you might want to slow down there bud.


   

Your stupidity is truly spectacular. In your effort to make everything neatly fit into your 'guns good, Muslims bad' narrative you have selected a source that actually goes against that narrative completely, and to further show your stupidity you have proceeded to entirely misinterpret the very statistic that you are using to make your ridiculous point.


You suggest that 40% of mass murders in the US are done by Muslims. You then use the New York Times article as your source. Let me make this clear: that article is about 'extremist attacks', it is not about all mass murders in the US. The actual statistic is that 40% of 'extremist attacks' in the US have been committed by Muslims. The common sense interpretation of this evidence is actually that, as a whole, that we should be more, or at least equally, concerned about other forms of extremism.


Here are the actual statistics for 'mass shootings' in the US. Of course, anybody with even an ounce of intelligence and analytical thought will know that not 40% of all mass shootings in the US are committed by Muslims. You are clearly not in this category.

First off, when you resort to insults you've already lost the argument.


 

The numbers in the BBC article include mostly normal crime, gang warfare, and people who are killed by someone who knows them. That's entirely different from killing strangers for political or religious motives. I used "mass murders" and "extremist attacks" synonymously. Change the words to your definition and the point I was making is not changed.


 

Muslim Americans (0.8% of the US population) have carried out over 40% of the extremist attacks.

That must be a convenient rule for someone who probably gets called an idiot multiple times a day!

Actually, now you have explained your position more clearly I can see that you are a rational and intelligent person who has interesting things to say.*
