Clearly this is a very important issue

Hmm, I wonder why America would retaliate when getting attacked by organizations who exist to destroy America

You very well might have just solved the problem.

Oh wait homicide is already illegal. Darn.

Yet they are so bad at destroying America because they cause an insignificant number of deaths.

that said, the Iraq war makes no sense. But that isn't the reason why.

Suppose Iraq bombed the twin towers, then yeah, that would be an appropriate response, but that's not what happened

All homicides

Number of deaths: 17,793
Deaths per 100,000 population: 5.5

It might actually be less than 1.7%, but who gives a shit

It would be better to say, ".001% of deaths in the US are caused by Muslim terrorist attacks, but that hasn't stopped Trump from implementing an indefinite immigration ban on several majority Muslim countries over concerns of terrorism."

It's only the 6th day in the month, and already 86 people have been murdered by Islamic Terrorist Attacks (in March)

86 is a super small number when you are talking of a population of 330 mil.

I actually have a pretty good idea for screening refugees.

I've said this before, but they should have the refugees live with high target American politicians

If the refugee doesn't use this opportunity to kill the politician, then they can be incorporated into the populace.

This way legislators actually have consequences for their decisions

obligatory "TELL THAT TO THE FAMILIEZ OF THOZE WHO LOST THERE LIVES!!!!!!" response.


86 in 6 days? Are you guys crazy or what? Obviously a sample size of 6 days is too small to stretch across a year, but that 86 deaths for every 6 days is 5,300 dead people from Islamic attacks per year.

Granted, there's literally no way we would have attacks comparable to the middle east as that's where all the jihadists are located.

If we took in refugees, we probably wouldn't even be taking in 1% of the world's jihadists

Idk, because it ended up killing more US people than the attacks did.

The changes to our security have done much more to prevent terrorist attacks than the war did.

And all it cost us was our privacy, freedom, and fundamental rights.
