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.    

USA ranks 30th in the global terrorism index

Burkina Faso ranks first.

Burkina Faso became the country with the highest impact from terrorism for the first time, with deaths from terrorism increasing by 68 per cent to 1,907. A quarter of all terrorism deaths occurring globally were in Burkina Faso.


You had the worst attack in history with 9/11 in 2001, but it's time to get over it and move on. It's 2025 now.


I would wager that Gaza is now nr 1 for the worst terrorism experienced.

You can tell that to my uncle.  It's a religion of peace, and was founded by a guy named muhammad that spread it by the sword.  If he wasn't such a good warlord, then islam would have never been a thing historically.     He rode from city to city with his army and forced by sword everyone to convert if i'm not mistaken.  Then muhammad would look at all the battle carnage atop his panting camel, and feeling satisfied with himself, would passionately kiss his 9 year old wife Aisha. (You can look this up anytime Svenno) That's the founder.  Now, many muslims will say that Islam has made such a positive difference that it has surely been worth it, and that in the end, this was divinely inspired.  However, again, we are talking about people with a warped sense of justice and retribution.   Many years later, well some people (but not all as i have to remind you in order to be pc) have taken inspiration from that.  And you see many more (but not all) take inspiration, than say jews taking inspiration from abraham or buddhists taking inspiration from buddha in order to commit terrorism.   If you don't mind me asking, which religion inspires the most terrorism these days Svenno? Sikkhism?  Buddhism?  Judaism?  Or could it be Islam?  And y'all are bringing these conversations to me, i'm not the one venturing out and starting these right now Svenno.   When i get on my soap box, it's hard to remove me from that.  So i wouldn't start these conversations stating that i'm misinformed or need to be enlightened on how terrorism isn't a big deal.
