ISIS literally claims responsibility for every attack on earth whether they were involved or not. Don't try to be clever

It can be as simple as restricting the kind of/number of weapon allowed in certain areas. Similar to how certain vehicles are allowed on the road in certain towns and areas. Like in certain neighborhoods golf carts can be ridden around an assigned area.

Your post would make sense if you could prove that rates in those countries wouldn't be higher it the population had easier access to guns.
I mean does everything need to be a aboutism, even interpreting basic stats. Geez

You're an adult I assume, you understand context. The politicizing of that rhetoric has led to laws (well, attempts) and aggressive measures. On the flip side? "let's not politicize" and essentially inaction.They banning/wiping islam off the face of the earth?

Just goes to show how brainwashed a large percentage of Americans are by the media and government. They honestly believe, without even disputing, that Muslims = ISIS. It's tragic really.
The irony is that we as nation are so incredibly and brutally violent, historically and presently. Just a ******g angry, paranoid, violent country compared to most yet we have the gall to point the finger.

It is easier to "declare war" against radical Islamic terrorism than it is to do the same against a random white boy thug/terrorist. Logically how would you be able to identify the culprit. That is why the media has been trying to link him to a certain ideology. The thought that someone did it "just because" is scary. Even if true.

Might be one of the stupidest @#$@ I've ever seen posted here. Let's say you go to Fremont, Detroit,Paris, etc. How are you going to identify a culprit among the thousands of Muslims that live there? ISIS members don't wear uniforms.

Why is it easier? Could it be because those who are in power are a part of the very same group that would then be branded as scary?

American citizens far more and likely to be the victim of a white man than a Islamic terrorist and it's been that way for almost 20 years now.

Unfortunately it appears you completely misunderstood what I wrote. It is not about identifying an individual. It is about identifying an ideology. Changing the hearts and minds is the only real solution.

Interesting. Are you white by chance and have you ever denied the existence of white privilege? you seem like the type that would, but you just wrote the most excusatory white privilege thing i've ever read.

Why does a specific racial/religious group have to be "the enemy"?
White supremacists are "the enemy". ISIS militants are also "the enemy"

I'm black. Not that it matters. White privilege certainly exists. Racism certainly exists. Slavery happened. Systematic oppression continues to follow. But a white man shooting indiscriminately into a crowd of country music fans would hardly be labeled as a racist. It was easy to identify the enemy with Dylan roof. He was a racist/white nationalist/thug. Situations like this aren't as easy to label. That was my only point.

The white man is the real face of terror in this country. I don't know what you're doing when trying to categorize one as an "enemy" as opposed to the other.

I think he's saying it's more convenient for the US government to attack a group because they share a certain set of beliefs (Muslims), and then apply that logic to EVERY Muslim in order to push their agenda. I don't think he was condoning it.
