  Gonna give you these:

  • have no place in society
  • used as the bogeyman

  White supremacy + Islam are NOT “very rare”. About 2B people are Muslim, it is the second largest religion and the fastest growing.

  If you mean radical Islam, what are you basing the word “radical” on, just so we can be clear about who it is we’re talking about?

  I wouldn’t call white supremacy little to no threat to society either:

  Violent attacks that can be directly contributed to white supremacy aside, the culture around white supremacy (at least in the US) is responsible for most of the racial discrimination and divide throughout the entire history of the country. So one could argue it’s been a massive detriment to society for generations.

    I’m referring to radical islam, that’s why I used the term radical Islam. Normal muslims don’t attack people for not being muslim, only radicals.

    80 murders over 3 years is close to what lightning killed over the same period. It’s not a huge threat and the effort to fix the problem to stop white supremacy could be used in other areas to much higher effect.

      I know you referred to radical Islam. That’s why I asked what your definition of “radical” was so we could come to a consensus.

      lol I knew you’d stick on that number. Just because we don’t have a record of white supremacists killing more people than “radical” Muslims in recent history doesn’t mean white supremacy (and racism in general) hasn’t caused the death, torture suffering or exploitation of countless others over our species’ history.

      If you’re just focusing on recent deaths, you’re missing the bigger picture.
