Except that in the US your chances of being killed by a far-right lunatic are much higher. Lets just agree that extremist Muslims and extremist far righters are both dangerous groups
9/11 killed a lot of people, you live in NYC ... Though recently, just Islamic attacks make up a fraction of attacks. I feel like those that focus on them above all others do so for a political agenda
That theory went out the window when they started attacking Germany and Sweden. They don't give a crap about our foreign policy, they'd attack us either way because they despise our way of life.
As George bush said "they hate us for our freedom"
The thing is groups like ISIS actually want people to hate Muslims, they want everyone to turn on them & blame them all. Because when that happens (& it is happening) it turns more & more to extremeism. It is one big f***ed up vicious circle...
ISIS does want to be seen as the face of "true Islam "
The problem with these Abrahamic religions, including Christianity, is that they're very open to interpretation. You can find passages within scripture that justify just about anything.
Fortunately Christianity has come through the extremist period and a more moderate version is now practiced. Islam still has a way to go.

I doubt they give a damn about anyone's way of life, they kill their own kind indiscriminately. They feed off of the wars in the ME and anti-Muslim rhetoric being spewed globally, they crave the nonstop media coverage, the fear, etc. they receive after such attacks. They've been known to claim responsibility for attacks they weren't even responsible for. They're nothing more than power-hungry attention whores.
