No ones moving goal posts. Give a ballpark of how many immigrants were involved in those 122 attacks.

You're making the argument that brown immigrants are more dangerous than Europeans and you're then trying to exclude all types of violent crime except that labeled terror attacks to obfuscate the reality that immigrants are statistically no more dangerous than Europeans themselves. It's dishonest.

Even in terms of terrorism, the majority has historically been committed by domestic groups (ex. nationalists, political extremists, separatists etc.), not immigrants. Again, this is very similar to my own country where domestic terrorism is actually the greater threat than that from immigrants.

Okay, you want to move the goal posts. Tell me, per capita, who commits more violent crime? Muslims or non-muslims?

[–] KevonLooney@lemm.ee 3 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Per capita, men commit more violent crime than women. It's not even close. Do you support restrictions on men just based on their gender?

One is how youre born. The other is an ideology. What do you not understand about "Islam is an ideology"?

[–] KevonLooney@lemm.ee 3 points 3 months ago (1 children)

How does that address my point? The Y chromosome is the largest determining factor in violent crime, way more than any "ideology".

Wait, so you dont understand why racism and sexism are bad? You know they're bad without understanding why?

You can admit that you were destroyed by facts and logic. It's ok.

[–] Kaboom@reddthat.com -2 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Right, Im just going to block you.

You're obviously upset because you're a guy and you don't want to be excluded. Excluding Muslims doesn't affect you, because you're not Muslim.

You don't care about "violent crime". Your only real concern is not being in the out-group, because you really only care about hierarchy.
