Yes, it's from radical Muslims who hate people who don't know the difference between "their" and "there."

Won't be the last to distance themselves

 

Prevents the Muslim golfers from boycotting.

 

Don't forget his gem about the terrorists not being good enough to kill more people on a year's worth of planning.

The highest death toll from a terrorist attack on U.S. soil since 9/11 obviously showed they were inept terrorists.

 

Trump was totally right.

 

Huh

The Unbearable Lightness of America’s War Against the Islamic State

 

Why worry!

Terror is barely a threat a all.

And so what if they exterminate religious minorities, and a refugee crisis sends millions across the globe?

If the United States were truly serious about terrorism, it would start by gauging the level of threat properly and communicating that appraisal to the American people.

As numerous scholarly studies have shown, the actual risk of terrorism to the average American is remarkably low. In their new book Chasing Ghosts, John Mueller and Mark Stewart estimate the odds that an American will be killed by a terrorist are about one in 4 million each year. Compared with more prosaic dangers that we accept on a daily basis, this level of risk is absurdly small. Yet instead of using logic and evidence to reassure the American people, leaders from both parties have encouraged, since 9/11, the irrational fear of terrorism to drive a host of counterproductive policies. Even President Barack Obama, who seems to have a more measured view than many of his counterparts, did a rather limp job of reassuring the public in his Oval Office speech last Sunday.

What is needed is not a single presidential speech, but rather a sustained, all-out effort by top U.S. officials to remind their fellow citizens how safe they actually are.One often hears that fear is inherently irrational and that such a campaign would never work, but how do we know until someone tries? By refusing to tell the truth about the actual (very low) level of risk, presidents and other officials cede the ground to threat-mongers and guarantee that the public will overreact to the rare but dramatic events that do occur.

 

What is needed is not a single speech, is not a single speech, is not a single speech.

 

While it's true that the odds are low for any American to be killed by a terrorist, that's not the point of terrorism. It's to terrify. Then that terror is turned into hatred toward all Muslims because since they are Muslims they must be future terrorists. Then people try to keep Sikhs from attending NFL games or burn down mosques or attack women wearing headscarves. Or try to keep any of them from coming into the country.

I'd rather see our leaders tell people that just because someone prays to Mecca, it doesn't mean a terrorist has moved next door. Dying isn't the only way terrorism can affect you.

 

Oh, and don't forget, it's our fault:

If the United States were truly serious about terrorism, we would also have a more honest and open discussion about our own role in generating it.
