Interesting report from FTP. What say you?

Doesn't shock me in the least.  The numbers have never been in the favor of those claiming the danger of American Muslims or the irreparable harm of allowing refugees into our country.

I assumed the "Shock Report" was tongue in cheek.

“Since January 2015, the FBI has also arrested more anti-immigrant American citizens plotting violent attacks on Muslims within the U.S. than it has refugees, or former refugees, from any banned country,”
 

How many countries have been banned since 2015

Not surprising. Affirms a point I've been making for years. There's a reason police view groups like the sovereign citizen movement as the greatest threat they face .

Meh, Trump supporters are completely immune to cognitive dissonance.  

It's just 'fake news' to them.

American population: ~324 million

Muslim population of America: ~3.3 million (2015)

324 - 3.3 = 320.7 million non-Muslim Americans.

Am I supposed to be surprised that 320.7 million people commit more crimes than 3.3 million people?

Like, you understand how sample sizes and such works, right?

Are you suggesting Muslims and non-Muslims have the same propensity to violence?  Because that's fundamental to your argument.

Regardless, it's a bizarre way of trying to rationalize a large amount of hate crimes being committed on a religious minority.

And it's not just "crimes", it's hate crimes targeting people because of their religion.

I'm not rationalizing anything.  I'm just trying to find out why its supposedly "shocking news" to find that "Americans" commit more hate-crimes than a population of people that they outnumber literally 99 to 1.

There is nothing to rationalize: minorities are treated as such, even in the most advanced cultures.  Its called human nature.

For these numbers to be useful, you'd need them on a per capita basis because of the disparity in population sizes of the groups being compared.
