We're also told "not all Muslims are terrorists; in fact, hardly any are terrorists. Therefore, fearing or hating Muslims because of terrorism is not justified and irrational." In fact, we have been told that quite a lot by left wing academics.

Why do lefwing academics not find their own logic & arguments about unjustified fears of Muslim terrorists palliative, soothing, and persuasive when it is rightwing individuals engaging in terror? (last weeks' events are not even groups).

I take full responsibility for my own behavior and tweets. I reject the idea that I changed the topic. I brought up the topic of antiSemitism. I was not the one who brought up "The country feels under siege by domestic terrorists." I did reply to it.

God this would be a great study to run. "How persuasive to you find this argument?" Hardly any of X are violent terrorists. Therefore, fearing them is bigotry. Randomly assign people to X. X1: Muslims X2: The alt-right. DV: Rated compellingness of argument.
