Far fewer Americans have died from terrorism under Obama's administration. This isn't open to discussion, it's just a fact, and claiming the opposite is not "speaking the truth".


By that measure far fewer Americans died at pearl Harbor attack, than did under bush. Attacks under obama are more frequent.

Not all Trump supporters are fascists. IUA is, and isn't the only one either on this forum or in general.

If the guy's name is Ahmad (he must be pretty mad to set off a bomb) and the guy was born in Afghanistan, there's a high chance it was motivated by religion.

Pretty good chance it was just mental insanity, given that a good portion of attackers in the past decade weren't devout Muslims (or observant Muslims at all).

The Minnesota stabbed referenced Allah according to the police chief, and an ISIS wing claimed responsibility. That's about it. Nothing else on the other two attacks.

I am Jack's complete lack of surprise. How did I know his name was not going to be John or Ryan?
Okay so apparently these days it's hot and happening to show your gender.
I am MALE. WTF is cis? I am MALE. I like to belch and laugh at fart jokes.

Oh, by the way: gender and sex are the same thing. They are part of a binary system.
Transgenderism is not supported by scientific evidence.

The greatest evils of our day: islamism, liberalism, George Soros

How can you accuse me of evil? Though these deeds be unsavory, no one will argue: good shall follow from them.


The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing

There's a high likelihood that the bombings and stabbings and whatelse were caused by lone-wolf Islamic extremists. High likelihood isn't the same as 100%.

And given that he was a naturalised citizen banning refugees from entering the country would not have prevented this.

It could be different cells. Just because the same person wasn't facilitating both doesn't mean they can't be traced back to ISIS. If ISIS was responsible for the NYC/NJ bombs at all.
Vaguely a pessimist, certainly an absurdist, unironically an antinatalist.

If ISIS are responsible why haven't they claimed responsibility or inspiration?

Keeping in mind that incidents such as the Brighton Bombing shows that terrorist organisations do claim attacks that failed to achieve their objectives.

If they were even remotely connected, they'd claim responsibility even if it was a partially failed attack. No point in terror attacks if you don't use them to further your own agenda.
