And yet, since the 2000s, which group has committed the most terrorism in America? The question is really over terrorism, not mass shootings in general, so this is not a valid comparison. Apples to oranges as we say over here. Â
The issue of terrorism though is that it has the potential for much higher numbers of deaths than some random nutjob. 9/11 was a terrible event for America and thousands died that day. And if it is such a concern for our CIA and FBI, then wouldn't it be prudent for the average American to be concerned as well? Â
Aren't you living in Germany, Chris? I think that it is very easy to criticize others as to not be concerned of terrorism when it isn't affecting your nation as much as others. In America, there have been many incidents, and they haven't stopped occurring. Â

The problem is America is just prejudice in general. To us outside the US, mass shootings may as well be terrorist attacks. They both use violence to cause terror. Your governments hide behind the boogie man (aka Muslims) because gun lobby groups fund their election campaigns. They want to separate the two issues so that American's have an external enemy to hate rather than worry about all the children getting killed at schools by local grown terrorists.

So i see that you believe that Americans have an incorrect fixation on terrorism. This might be because we have had more and worse terrorism than any nation except for perhaps Israel.
