Blast rocks a Minneapolis suburb Islamic center during early hours prayers

Do you think this is true?

Absolutely not, and nothing you said matters in the least.

Deaths don't mean shit when you look at the prevalence of a violent ideology, what the fuck? Which is the bigger problem, one religious attack that kills 40 people, or 35 religious attacks that kill 1 person each?

The first one may have killed more, but the second one shows a serious problem where a violent ideology has spread amongst a community.

The number of people dying is only indicative of how the committed the attack. Islamic terrorism having a higher death count means there are a handful of people who plan their attacks, and Right-wing terrorism having a lower death count means there are a lot more people who just shank 1 or 2 civilians.

While I do care for the innocent lives taken, I'd much rather look at actually relevant statistics regarding these matters. I care about the number of attackers, not victims. And as far as I'm concerned in the US, violent (alt)right-wingers are a bigger problem.
