Okay, we may have more attacks than you have shootings in schools. But 30 terrorist attacks all in all in over a dozen countries compared to 15 school shootings in just one is still a sad statistic for the US.

Also, did deeper into the GTD list. The bulk of the increase is not coming from jihadists or other immigrants, but actually from far right movements which have multiplied in the last years. The immigrants are perfect fodder for them 

When your dozen countries are sized smaller than USA even when summed and population is probably about similar, then you can't really claim high ground because of number of countries.

And usually the classification for "far right" is quite laughable on media... and also some people that classify anything conservative, libertarian or even non communist as far right.

The difference is that here in mainland western Europe those parties/groups generally consider themselves being far right (though none would admit they'd be extreme right even if it would be a nazi party, as extreme right is an absolute no-go and political suicide) or at least right wing (mainstream right here is center-right, not (just) right (wing)). So if an attack is reported to be from far right extremists, you can be damn sure it is, especially since normally they wait before they know for sure who actually did the attack before identifying them.
