Homegrown Extremists are 16 Times Less Deadly than Jihadis

This NY Times article makes the inflammatory claim that white extremists are a greater threat than Muslim ones and have killed nearly twice as many Americans since 2011. By themselves, his numbers may be accurate, but the writer disingenuously ignores the whole picture. There are 197.7 million non-hispanic whites in the US and there are 7 million Muslims. Statistically, white extremists should be NOT 2 times more likely to engage in violence, but 28 times more likely. #UseStatisticsResponsibly
