I just don't think we can blame the issue largely on foreign terrorism when most such attacks come from homegrown killers not afiliated with Islam.

Islamic extremism is definitely a problem, I don't think anyone here would deny that. But if we removed Jihadis from the equation, the mass killings wouldn't just stop.

Islamic extremisim is a huge problem around the world. It has literally ruined countries and is the cause of wars. In my opinion, people downplay the damage Islamic extremist are doing and how much resources are wasted combating it.

Lets not pretend all the damage done in the Islam is just in the US.

Again, I doubt anybody here would deny that Islamic extremism is a major global problem.

But if all Jihadis disappeared overnight, the mass killings in the US would not just cease, because most of them aren't committed by Jihadis.
