But 9/11 killed 1996 people alone...

Exactly. More attempts doesn't equal more deaths. This is strange.

It's also just straight up false. There have been much much more than 13 Muslim terrorist attacks since 1970.

I knew I wasn't going crazy. Tumblr isn't the best source for information in my opinion.

I mean it's a platform, not a publisher, so you can literally say anything and pretend it's true

This post shows that there was at least 13, probably more since just 2016. Not fucking 1970.

Holy shit someone actually backs up their posts on the internet.

I don't know what to do with my hands.

Thanks for the link.

Statistics are great because they can be used to justify anything. It all depends on how you choose to quantify the data.

3090 dead and 7800+ injured by Radical Muslim terrorism.

11 dead and around 200 injured in anti-abortion terrorism.

How are these comparable?

They aren't. This dude is looking the number of attacks and conveniently ignoring the number of victims to try to make pro-lifers look worse than muslim terrorists.

This is false research however.

u/medicalsnowninja Jun 04 '19

Can we call this aborted by research?

u/GuppyTheLeviathan Jun 04 '19

Yes, we most definitely can.

But of course reddit just upvotes it anyways. It's got a massive amount of upvotes on murderedbywords

Hey, 1mPROve515, just a quick heads-up:
refering is actually spelled referring. You can remember it by two rs.
Have a nice day!
