Thus The New York Times today. “Counter to public perception, nearly twice as many people have been killed on American soil since September 11, 2001, by white supremacists and other non-Muslim extremists than by radical Muslims, according to a research group,” elaborates the newspaper. Indeed. The same applies to the so-called west as a whole, but it takes a major newspaper to remind all and sundry of real dangers of this day and age. Unfortunately, the admonishment will be forgotten in just a few days, and the assorted phobias of everything foreign will reassert themselves. What is more, articles of this ilk will be shunned for their brash reminders of untold human proclivities that defy reason and sanity alike. My heart thus goes to the researchers in question—Charles Kurzman of the University of North Carolina and David Schanzer of Duke University. They surveyed close to four-hundred police and sheriff’s departments across the States, and concluded that the threat from jihadi terrorism was overblown. Again, their research will be forgotten in a few short days.
