@emptywheel Bigger threat maybe due to numbers. In any case why invite more trouble? Sectarian violence in middle east goes back centuries. -
@unusr1 You're suggesting there are more people of Muslim descent in the US than white people? Are you sure? That surprises me. -
@emptywheel Deliberately obtuse. More whites in absolute numbers means more crime instances, even with a lower proportion of criminals. -
@unusr1 So you agree white terrorists are the bigger threat, but don't want to do anything about them? How about random gun violence? -
@emptywheel No - as you know, blacks have the highest rate of violent crime, but at least they came here honestly. Don't need to import more -
@unusr1 Well, convo started abt terrorism. Whites are biggest threat there per FBI. What do you mean by "blacks ... came here honestly"? -
@emptywheel I mean, they are a historical part of our country. We have enough problems without needlessly importing ME sectarian violence. -
@unusr1 No. You made a comment about how they came here. How did they come here? - 12 more replies
