No one said anything about caring "exclusively" about stuff close to home... omnichaos posted... But to completely ignore the atrocities that are happening abroad because your political ideology claims that "Muslims are top-tier victims" is abhorrently immoral. ...and no said anything about ignoring the atrocities happening abroad. For the record, if you think Islamic Extremism is the world's number one threat, it's worth noting that the overwhelming majority of their victims are other Muslims. omnichaos posted... Yes we do. It's important to be realistic about which problems are worse Worse in what context? Because if we're talking about domestic impact, white supremacy is significantly worse. omnichaos posted... 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. Except they're not. Take a look at that graph I posted above - far-right terrorists are by far the largest threat to the United States and have been since the Cold War ended. omnichaos posted... Even if you disinterestingly swindle out the worst terrorist attack in world history. An attack that is now 16 years old - it's sort of disingenuous to still consider September 11 indicative of modern events, because it's slipping further and further back into the history books. In three days, there will be people with their driver's license who were born after the 9/11 attacks. Let that sink in for a few minutes. But maybe you want that historical perspective. OK... how far back in the history books do you want to go? Because if we're really factoring in history, let's tack on a few more years so we get into the Jim Crow era and all that lovely news about police officers beating down peaceful black protesters and siccing dogs on them. At that point, white supremacy dwarfs islamism as a domestic threat by an even larger margin. --- Kill 1 man: You are a murderer. Kill 10 men: You are a monster. Kill 100 men: You are a hero.
