      I'm told this comment is indicative of my burning hatred for all Muslims and secret Islamophobic beliefs. I guess that explains why I spent weeks fervently defending Ilhan Omar against warped, disgusting attackshttps://twitter.com/mtracey/status/1120465964246736896 …

      Islamists killed hundreds in Sri Lanka in shocking fashion. I don't think this means we should exaggerate the threat of Islamists in the US. But I note how eagerly US left/liberals latch onto any isolated incident of "white nationalist" violence abroad, yet largely ignore this

      I've also denigrated for years the tendency, mostly but not exclusively on the Right, to maliciously exaggerate the threat posed by Muslims in the US, and to use that exaggerated threat as a basis for curtailing civil liberties or inflicting other harms. But you know, whatever

          I also reported personally on the harms inflicted by Trump's "travel ban," which irrationally penalized innocent Iraqi Muslims and others, who should be receiving reparations from the US Government rather than singled out for penalties. Impugn motives all you want, though

          The threat is underplayed because the media completely ignores Islamic attacks that were prevented. We only hear about the 10% or so that succeed.

          Your support of Omar and others isn't an immediate waste. The point is that using the term "Islamist" is far too general at this conjuncture. So what reactionary branch of Islam are we *specifically* dealing with in Sri Lanka, and what are the politics that result from it?

          What will you say when threat becomes an everyday reality? “Hey at least I stood for the minority”? How can an educated person not know anything about Islam and its tactics that have been repeated for 1600 years is beyond me.

          That's not the point. You still have a responsibility as someone with a platform to be more careful with how you word things.

          Muslims are 1% of our (U.S.) population yet commit close to 50% of our domestic terrorism. There is really no possible way to exaggerate their danger & threat.
