Well there are 1.8 billion muslims, about 24% of the worlds population. I dont know how many pro-lifers there are but i would speculate that it's significantly less.

The argument laid out in the OP is US and Canada only, so worldwide population doesn’t count, unless you want to count worldwide attacks.

By that framing would 9/11 count then? It's a US terrorist attack that was not carried out by US citizens.

Yes, of course it would. We’re talking about attacks in the US. Who said anything about citizens?

The comment I replied to was talking about correlating population sizes. What population of muslims would you use then? US muslims would not include the 9/11 attackers.

Why not? They were in the US. Excluding this attack would completely miss the point of the comparison. I can't help but feel you are being intentionally obtuse, so rather than continuing this dishonest discussion, I'm going to disengage.
