      Which do you think the media cares about more? The “fiery exchange” between Durbin and Nielsen over the President’s “strong language” or the new DHS/DOJ report showing that 73% of terrorism-related offenders over last 15 years were foreign-born?pic.twitter.com/ElxXwkE2ly

      An analysis conducted by DHS determined that approximately 73 percent (402 of these 549 individuals) were foreign-born. Breaking down the 549 individuals by citizenship status at the time of their respective convictions reveals that: pic.twitter.com/dd1EVzVMVw

      You're mischaracterizing the report. It specifies *international* terrorism. You wrote "terrorism-related" in general. There's more domestic than international terrorism in the US, most of which is committed by native born Americans.

      In fairness, I think the report's title and associated announcement are confusing, so it's not unreasonable you made this mistake. But you should correct it.

      Some is, but not most. More domestic terrorist attacks by far-right extremists than jihadist sympathizers. And, even if it were, the report specifies "foreign-born." People born in the United States to parents who were born elsewhere are native-born, not foreign-born.

      Not a phantom or any sort of bogeyman. Just the facts. Your opinion is up to you. Whether we agree or not, I respect your right to have it. But the facts are not up to either of us. They're facts.

          In US since 9/11 -62 terrorist attacks by far-right extremists, causing 106 deaths (ex. Charleston Church) -23 attacks by jihadists, causing 119 (ex. San Bernardino) Overall, jihadist threat larger (for this and other reasons). No need to be inaccurate with the stats.

          I didn't harp on anything. I noted the presentation of the stats was inaccurate and then responded to questions you asked. If you hadn't asked, I wouldn't have discussed it further. On why it makes sense to measure starting after 9/11, I wrote an article:http://www.nationalreview.com/article/454643/nyc-subway-bombing-puts-terror-perspective …

          Oh, you're right. I'm sorry. They wanted the final version to be shorter and that part got cut The reason it's common to start after 9/11 is US implemented many new security measures. To evaluate threats to US security today, it makes sense to look at the time with those measures
