More people will suffer by the hands of our government than by terrorism over here.
Head in the sand. Pathetic

What a abject goofy point of view some people hsve

Go to Detroit... or any other community filled with secular Muslims who don't want any integration into American society..who practice Sharia law abet our justice system
Listen to the call to prayer broadcast

That call is an ever present reminder some sick jihadi is coming for every non Muslim


Kids cry

A slight difference in perspective don't you think?

Toddlers:
It’s high time someone called out these crawling, miniature menaces.
Who knows what they are planning with their indecipherable gibberish.
These pablum powered provocateurs have been pampered for too long.
Let's call them what they are, usurpers. They mean to replace us.
It’s time to stand up to these tiny fingered, toddling terrorists.

According to the Washington Post, our nation's nurseries are housing more than just unbearable levels of cuteness: Twenty-three people have been shot by toddlers in the U.S. since the start of 2016 — exactly 23 more than have been shot by Muslim terrorists over the same period.

I sure hope you're being facetious.Edited to add:

You were not jesting and that is just sad. The fact that as of a certain date there had not been a massacre does not mean that there isn't a very serious problem. People killed by toddlers are usually reckless for leaving guns out or the victim's safety is being guaranteed by a careless person. An attendee at a San Bernardino holiday party, a gay person out partying in Orlando, or a secretary sitting at her desk in the World Trade Center were all just living life, and were killed because of some 9th Centry belief. I don't care that these people have grievances, are angry, don't believe Westerners should exist in the Middle East or anywhere in the wold.

They are at war with us and we need to fight back.

Look Im a left leaning party, but if you can say that toddlers kill more than terrorists pro-gun advocates can say vehicles, bombs etc kill people but they arent banned. you can't get it both ways. I've had enough of ban the guns and ban the Muslims along with the hypocrisy on both ends..

We can play this game with just about any subject. For example: black people are FAR more likely to be killed by other black people than they are by the police. These are well known statistics. Yet which subject makes the news and gets the attention? Which subject draws the attention of liberals and BLM supporters?
I wonder if you or other left leaning people would be as flippant or facetious with this subject as you are with terrorism!

I tend to doubt it.

People don't get outraged over pure statistics. People aren't logical, unemotional automations!

People are outraged over police shootings despite the fact that black on black violence is far worse because the police are supposed to protect us and be held to a higher standard.

People are outraged over acts of terrorism because we don't want to live with the constant fear of a suicide
bomber blowing themselves (and us) up every time we step into a public area. It's the randomness of it!
We know we are more likely to die in a car crash or from heart disease or cancer but we get outraged when
our freedom to move about in public becomes threatened with the possibility of a totally random attack at any time or place. We don't want to turn into Israel where terrorism has become a fact of life as much as car crashes and heart disease!

I haven't read the entire thread and maybe its already been pointed out but the premise of the article is entirely wrong. The Orlando jihadi attack alone is more than double the # of toddler shootings.

Toddlers should be properly vetted before being allowed to leave the womb. Lets have a moratorium on further births until we can identify the dangerous ones.
