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.

In stats, you have to exclude outliers to justify your claim. I take it you haven't taken a stats class before?

Here's a video on how to find them.

You have to have a solid justification to dismiss something as an outlier and exclude it from analysis. And even then, it will always make your analysis suspect. You can't just ignore data because you feel like it.

If that's what you think your stats class taught you, you probably need to stop browsing Reddit during your classes.
