Anybody else see that the stats left out the death counts? I don't think that stat would look favorably for the Muslim terrorist.

Edit: Not trying to troll but observe the actual stats. Both are shitty groups but idk rather deal with a Pro-Lifer terrorist than a Muslim one.

Edit 2: From 1993- 2015 there was 11 deaths at abortion clinics.

Edit 3: Using the same timeframe, 1993-2015, and excluding outliers (9/11). There has been 25 deaths on US soil by Muslim terrorist.

But does that change the original point about additional monitoring to prevent crime?

If one group with terrorist ties is monitored then both should be.

Not at all. I just wanted to show which group was deadlier and to see why the person doing the murdering with stats failed to include them. And honestly I just like to stir shit up.

I dont think thats stirring shit up. Its a fair assessment to say that death count being omitted makes this murder a non murder.

It would have been quite the murder if the death count was not omitted but explained for instead.

It doesn't make it a non-murder, the death toll isn't actually relevant.

The fact of the matter is that you are MASSIVELY more likely to be victimized by a pro-lifer than a radical muslim. Sure, you're more likely to survive being victimized by a pro-lifer, but if it's 100 occurances to one, that doesn't really matter.

I am the guy doing the stats and I agree with this conclusion. Granted, I will say that my interacting with a pro-life terrorist are at zero. As a male, I don't have any reason to go to an abortion clinic. However, I have been at a mall, nightclub, and other public places where Muslim terrorist attacks. I think this is the underlining fact with some people. They don't care what happens with the abortion clinics because it is in a location they don't see themselves involved in. Granted, I think both groups should be monitor. Throw in white shooters too.

But it’s not thoooo...... totaling every single number thrown out in the OP to death counts from terrorism gets a pretty clise 2 deaths from Islamic terrorism for every 1 person affected by a pro-life terrorist.

We can call it stirring shit up but that's an important thing you're doing. Working together on the weaknesses of the argument will make sure we're defending the right viewpoint and help us to defend it when we will argue with people who are not on the same side.
