that article is a lesson in how not to read data. @rezaaslan @thenation @wkamaubell @JoshuaHol

1) counts 'attacks' and not fatalities in a self-serving manner
@rezaaslan@thenation@wkamaubell@JoshuaHol -
2) compares well-educated & high earning sample to entire American population
@rezaaslan@thenation@wkamaubell@JoshuaHol -
3) compares unrelated stats to imply that figures are somehow 'low' or 'acceptable'
@rezaaslan@thenation@wkamaubell@JoshuaHol -
Truth is US muslims are outrageously conservative when seen in economic/educational context
@rezaaslan@thenation@wkamaubell@JoshuaHol -
And vastly over-represented in political violence. & not even measuring domestic violence!
@rezaaslan@thenation@wkamaubell@JoshuaHol -
But oh well. Hasan, Mateen, Farook, al-Awlaki had degrees! Checkmate, Islamophobes!

tell this to
@MaajidNawaz who misleads by saying muslims say terrorists are non muslims, they're unislamic -
the success of Muslims in America literally has nothing to do with Islam.
@rezaaslan@thenation@wkamaubell@MaajidNawaz -
so success is not because of their faith but failure is ?

-
name anything in the Quran that hints at integrating into secular democracies
-
Quran doesn't deal with politics , rulings cannot be applied on multiple sects
-
oh really? The Quran is politics and spirituality combined. But please, answer my question.
-
use common sense , can one sect view be applied on another sect ? What's the alternative? Secular politics correct ?
-
where's the bit on secularism in the Quran?

"It could be worse!" is the whole argument. Quran describes a death cult. Gun control won't help.
