But I still fail to see where you're going with this comparison. It's sort of like asking "Who's killed more, Islamic extremists or school shooters?" - just because Islamic extremists win that contest doesn't mean that school shooters aren't horrible f***ing monsters who deserve every bit of our scorn for preying on society's most vulnerable.

I'm not saying that at all, we obviously can and should condemn both. And just caring about the stuff that hits close to home exclusively is immoral. I understand valuing the impact somewhat more of stuff that hits close to home. But to completely ignore the atrocities that are happening abroad because your political ideology claims that "Muslims are top-tier victims" is abhorrently immoral.

We don't need to have some sort of Olympics of Awfulness to figure out who we're supposed to despise the most - we're allowed to multitask here.

Yes we do. It's important to be realistic about which problems are worse. I'm not saying we should only focus on that problem at all.

And if you want to put what's happening abroad aside and only focus on terrorism in the US, then Jihadists are still worse here than white supremacist terrorists. Even if you disinterestingly swindle out the worst terrorist attack in world history.
