Lot's of people died in 2 cities in 2001, but after 2001, Muslim terrorists have killed less than 10 people afterward. In 4 different cities.
Not sure where you got that "less than 10" from, but its off a little. There has been at least 126 killed and 503 wounded in 72 islamic attacks since 2002.

I could only find one list of the deaths, and it ended in October, 2018. There have been more since, so the actual number is closer to 400 or more now.

And those domestic terrorists are still killing people. There were 85 attacks between 2001 and 2016, the year of the Pulse nightclub shooting, the first of the high-casualty shootings.

The Pulse shooting showed our own domestic terrorists how to really get attention, and the attacks have increased in frequency and numbers ever since. 40% more in 2019 than in 2018. With no end in sight.

Try finding the numbers of deaths our domestic killers have slaughtered, and you'll have a hard time trying to come up with an accurate figure, because people are still dying one or two or three or four at a time, every couple of weeks now, and no one is bothering to keep up with the domestic terror death count.

When only one or two people die, it doesn't even make the headlines now.

Anywhere, everywhere. Big cities, small towns. The Muslims are still bombing, but not here. They've chosen much easier targets than the United States nowadays.

But our own people are continuing their slaughter unabated for them. There's no need for the radical Muslims to try to kill us anymore. We're doing a pretty good job of it for them.
Don't kid yourself, they're still trying to kill us.
There have been 111 terrorist attacks thwarted since September 11 2001, and at least 105 of them were planned by muslims or those who had pledged allegiance to ISIS. The other six there wasn't enough information to be able to tell if there was any islamic connection or not. https://www.heritage.org/terrorism/c...against-us-911

On a yearly average, muslim terrorists kill 7.4 Americans. With a male muslim population of about 1.7 million, that comes out to about one murder per 229,700 muslim men.

Assuming your number 368 is accurate, and all of those were committed by white men, that averages out at 21.6 murders per year, or one murder per 5,322,600 white American men. Looking at it another way, those 21.6 murders a year are less than the homicide total in the city of Chicago for the first two weeks of June alone (23). https://heyjackass.com/

White men aren't the big problem. Petey is full of sh*t.

I'll take Pete over Putin any day.
I thought the same when I read this. Giggling Putin versus an American candidate. I guess people think Putin is amusing?

I'll wait.
I already gave one example, you ignored it. Its a big one too. The only one in this list I cant find is the military base attack, but then again, the military wouldnt list that publicly .

“In the past decade, more Americans have been killed in America by right-wing extremists than by those inspired by Al Qaeda and ISIS,”

Mayor Pete just confirmed my suspicion that he is not a serious candidate. He's playing to the TDS crowd.

I recently read Threat by former FBI acting director Andrew McCabe. He was head of the FBI counter-terrorism division for several years, and worked on a bunch of high-profile terrorism cases, such as the 'underwear bomber,' the Boston Marathon bombing, 9/11, the 'Fort Dix Six,' and the Fort Hood shooting. He covers a bunch of cases in his book, and exactly ONE involved 'white nationalists.' That was a planned bombing of an MLK day parade in Spokane, WA in 2011. The bomb was found and defused.

Watch out Mayor Pete, there may be a platoon of white nationalists hiding under your bed.

I have lived in Russia, still visit often, and I doubt this Peter guy has ever even visited, but will say the living in the US is no more or less different now, than living in Russia, even ten years ago.

Im not sure what your point is. Either that is a list of cases he directly worked on, or a list of cases that affected him. That doesnt mean they were the only cases that happened, and the fact that the Dylan Roof shooting took place while he was there proves that.

Your definition of white supremacist may consist of just an organized group rather than lone individuals, but if thats the case, none of the people on your list qualify as Al -Qaeda or ISIS as well.

If ISIS is no longer a threat, you can thank Trump for that.
