Police in the town of Savage, Minnesota, are now investigating an attack on a little girl at a local school by assailants, schoolchildren, who told officials they beat her up because "she wasn't Muslim."
I have been explaining in every comment in this thread, you’ve just been either choosing not to directly address it or you still don’t understand that my argument has been ignoring prevalence in favor of the logic of the comparison itself.
I’ll keep going in this circle for as long as you want though.
Nah, you’re just incapable of moving past the point that if not all white supremacists are racists then surely you must know of one you could use as an example, but you can’t, so your argument is unsubstantiated.
Instead, you just want to focus on prevalence of white supremacy violence, which is such a strawman of the original point made but I’ve got you running in circles here because you can’t just admit it was a poorly thought out comparison to make.
Still waiting for a single white supremacist you can use as an example of your argument. Otherwise you’re just asking me to take you at your word, or accept the strawman. I refuse to do either because that’s dumb.
That’s sort of an explanation but it requires you to misinterpret my original reply. White supremacists can be catorgized similarly to radical Islam, both are very rare, have no place in society, pose little to no threat to society as it is so rare, and are used as the bogeyman.
White supremacy + Islam are NOT “very rare”. About 2B people are Muslim, it is the second largest religion and the fastest growing. Racism has been around for about as long as we’ve been recording events, white supremacy is but one flavor.
If you mean radical Islam, what are you basing the word “radical” on, just so we can be clear about who it is we’re talking about?
I wouldn’t call white supremacy little to no threat to society either:
Violent attacks that can be directly contributed to white supremacy aside, the culture around white supremacy (at least in the US) is responsible for most of the racial discrimination and divide throughout the entire history of the country. So one could argue it’s been a massive detriment to society for generations.
I’m referring to radical islam, that’s why I used the term radical Islam. Normal muslims don’t attack people for not being muslim, only radicals.
80 murders over 3 years is close to what lightning killed over the same period. It’s not a huge threat and the effort to fix the problem to stop white supremacy could be used in other areas to much higher effect.
I know you referred to radical Islam. That’s why I asked what your definition of “radical” was so we could come to a consensus.
lol I knew you’d stick on that number. Just because we don’t have a record of white supremacists killing more people than “radical” Muslims in recent history doesn’t mean white supremacy (and racism in general) hasn’t caused the death, torture suffering or exploitation of countless others over our species’ history and shaped the path of entire nations and groups of people, mostly for the worse.
If you’re just focusing on recent deaths, you’re missing the bigger picture. One is a toxic sect of a religion, the other is a product of the way our entire society is run, irrespective of religion.
So yes, white supremacy or any kind of racist thoughts actions and behaviors I would argue are WAYYYYYY
more detrimental.

You claim to have a reason why but you won’t provide it. I wonder why that is.
Now you’re repeating yourself….
I am repeating myself because you won’t provide a reason why. If you did we could move forward.

Gonna give you these:
