Rep. Keith Ellison (D-MN) said that “the greater majority of domestic terrorist attacks are not by Muslims at all; they’re by people like Timothy McVeigh.”

Ellison made the comment during an interview with MSNBC’s Chris Hayes a day after the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS) claimed responsibility for bombing a Belgian airport and subway train. […]

“And so, you know, we got to understand terrorism as a generalized threat, various ideologies that drive it. But, no, I think we can get through this, but people like [Donald] Trump and [Ted] Cruz are not helping.”

According to an analysis by CNN, there were five ISIS-inspired attacks in the U.S. over the past year and a half, including the Dec. 2, 2015 mass shooting of 14 people in San Bernardino, California by a couple that had pledged allegiance to ISIS leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi. …

Islamists seem to be responsible for the majority of terrorist attacks these days. But long before 9-11, leftists were responsible for the bulk of domestic attacks. I wonder if they are jealous that their limelight was stolen by Islamists?

There is nothing that is compatible about Islam and free western culture. I am not opposed to people, but to an oppressive culture that is the Islamic ideology.

According to that liberal intellectual, Whoopi Goldberg, Timothy McVeigh was a Christian terrorist.

This has become accepted as part of liberal theology, that McVeigh was a Christian terrorist, even though he didn’t commit his act in the name of Christ. As I recall he was an atheist, but facts such as these don’t matter to liberals. Making their half assed political statements is all that matters to them.

Ellison didn’t mention the connection between McVeigh and Ramzi Yousef. I wonder why.

Sure Keith, just saying that makes it true in your little fantasy world. I’ll be really glad when God shuts you up.

“Muslims currently make up approximately 0.9% of the U.S. adult population, or 1.8 million Muslim adults. If children are included, the Muslim population in the United States totals 2.75 million Muslims in the country, the majority of whom (63%) are immigrants.”

The number of terrorist acts would go up significantly if we increase the number of muzzies.
