Another peaceful day getting to paradise !

It's a big world. Lots of impoverished and angry people.

Want me to run a list of murders in US for that same period. I could probably outnumber the number of terrorist attacks, and we're just one country. Land of the free, home of the Brave ...

Point taken.

I say we keep those impoverished and angry people out of this country and in the countries they reside in.

That only leaves us to deal with our shootings and gang bangings of our citizens here - that's a big enough job for the time being.

There's a lot more people in the US than there are people from the third-world with a 7th century mentality that you can hack them to pieces if they insult your God.

The first step is to quit comparing terrorist attacks meant to, or hoped to, kill thousands or millions of innocents, and cripple or destroy the ability of the states to influence foreign events to frikkin’ local crime.

It is stupid. There is no other word for it. Most liberals can never quite get past the first step because taking life seriously is hard for liberals.

Are you implying that in the same time period, there were no everyday murders in Turkey, Somalia, Nigeria, Bali, etc.

In this context, your appellation is not only inappropriate but offensive.

First, we should bust the old stereotype that ISIS and Al Qaeda recruits must be "impoverished and angry." Some are, but plenty are from decent economic background and are lucid and educated.

The list does provide support for those who say media is ethnocentric, so a bombing in Europe gets front page headlines while Ivory Coast and Turkey are small blurbs.

The list also shows the silliness of Daily Kos types evoking abortion clinic shooters or the standby name McVeigh while attempting to draw equivalences. In terms of sheer scope, structure and frequency, no one comes within a light year of the Islamic jihadists.

The Religion of Peace has brought war and terror upon the world since its inception.

no, we cannot do that. Remember "Job Programs?"

"climate change"

Interesting take on terrorism.

While those who would happily take us back to days when everyone who looked a certain way or thought a certain way was rounded up and put into holding pens (Japanese-American internment camps) are having a field day pointing fingers at those they're afraid of, truth is white right-wing extremists are still the most likely to commit acts of terrorism.

http://usuncut.com/news/guess-which-terr...americans/

Quote:Most notably, while there were zero terror attacks on U.S. soil by Islamic extremists between June 2, 2009 and April 14, 2013, there were eight attacks by right-wing extremists in that time frame. The most deadly of those attacks was the Sikh temple shooting in Wisconsin in 2012, which left six dead and four wounded.

But despite the frequency and brutality of white terror attacks, there are far more Muslim terrorists prosecuted and/or killed for their crimes in 11 of the 15 years studied. As the chart below shows, the only years between 2001 and 2015 where non-jihadist terrorists were indicted or killed for their crimes more than their jihadist counterparts were 2001, 2004, 2008, and 2012:

The one attack was at a bus-stop. Did he really think he was going to kill thousands at a bus-stop?

Then you have the mass killings by your average white lunatic, which seems to almost exclusively happen in the U.S. - Columbine, Virginia Tech, Newtown, NIU, the Aurora movie theater shootings, and plenty more. It's just a different kind of crazy.

Other than the current leading Democrat candidate for President.

For someone who claims to not be liberal, you certainly do seem to get huffy when they're criticized.
