I would expect the vast majority are. I could have picked a different stat, as only 24 americans have been killed by terrorism in the us in the last decade.

Although we have recently added some folks to that list its still fairly small.

I could use the fun statistic that 33 people are killed by lightning every year.

Meaning that in a normal year more people in the US are killed by lightning then have died from terrorism in the last decade.

Emotional laden words. Nice! And by doing so you help the spread of terror. Good job!
These days it is so easy to manipulate people. This fellow is a Democrat. He senses that the right is going hardline at Muslims. What’s he do? Defend Islam, deny Islam is a factor in killings and actually finds good things in Islam.

Since only 24 Americans have been killed by terrorism in the past decade, which attacks are you using to arrive at that number?

Well, they succeeded in quadrupling them so far..

Terrorism Deaths Quadruple Under Obama


I guess as long as we have more DUI deaths than terrorist murders then it ok to let them in regardless of the innocents that are being killed around the world because of this complete idiot. That's moonbat logic right? Something like Black Lives Matter. The group of racist, thieves that call anyone who is not black racists while they burn their neighborhoods down and steal from their family and friends.

You do know your link is about worldwide terrorism right? Not whats occurred here in the US. I mean its cute how you conflate letting them in here, with a quadrupling of terrorism deaths around the world....but...yeah....then you wander off into black lives matters, and hating on blacks. and you even get in moonbat logic!

Im just left here sitting going "What?"

Your view of the world and current events are very very small. When you allow terrorists to propagate you get the results we have today. By not a acknowledging Islamic terrorism and engaging it to destroy it Obama assisted with the spread of the Islamic disease.

It's Obama's world view that has helped the world to spin out of control. He believes that minorities have the right to steal and loot, that Islamic terrorists have the right to kill. All of this because of a twisted view they were wronged in some way.

Quit looking at issues in singularity. Your look like a sheep.

One last note, do you realize how many innocents Obama has killed with his drone wars? Look it up.
