Average of 337 attacks per year over the last decade = 3,370 attacks that amounted to only 254 fatalities? What kind of attacks are these?

Muslim extremists have proven to be more deadly than Christian extremists, in 2016.

RW extremists can be Muslims or Christians. Were you not aware of this??!

Am I a supporter of Christianity? NO.

apparently a lot older and more cynical than you are.

"There is plenty of time for more terror from left and right." Oh yeah? What's that supposed to mean? What does terror from the left entail?

12. some people are overly invested in the idea that Islam makes followers inherently worse than anyone
