      So, even if we assume those 122 attacks were committed by immigrants, how does that compare to violent crimes committed by Europeans themselves? 122 incidents over 9 years is remarkably low for a single demographic. How many bad actors is that per event? How many immigrants are there total and how many committed these crimes?

      It’s racist fear mongering.

        I said terrorist attacks, not violent crimes. Dont move the goal posts

          No ones moving goal posts. Give a ballpark of how many immigrants were involved in those 122 attacks.

          You’re making the argument that brown immigrants are more dangerous than Europeans and you’re then trying to exclude all types of violent crime except that labeled terror attacks to obfuscate the reality that immigrants are statistically no more dangerous than Europeans themselves. It’s dishonest.

          Even in terms of terrorism, the majority has historically been committed by domestic groups (ex. nationalists, political extremists, separatists etc.), not immigrants. Again, this is very similar to my own country where domestic terrorism is actually the greater threat than that from immigrants.

            Okay, you want to move the goal posts. Tell me, per capita, who commits more violent crime? Muslims or non-muslims?

              Per capita, men commit more violent crime than women. It’s not even close. Do you support restrictions on men just based on their gender?

                One is how youre born. The other is an ideology. What do you not understand about “Islam is an ideology”?

                  How does that address my point? The Y chromosome is the largest determining factor in violent crime, way more than any “ideology”.

                    Wait, so you dont understand why racism and sexism are bad? You know they’re bad without understanding why?
