Nineteen foreign-born Islamist terrorists murdered 2,979 innocent people twenty-three years ago today in the deadliest and most destructive terrorist attack in world history.
I think that the biggest risk of terrorism is not ordinary victims, but rather people who actively and openly engage in “Islamophobic” speech, especially of the kind that Muslims find provocative. Their own risk of getting murdered by Muslim terrorists, or of surviving a Muslim assassination attempt, is much higher than the generic odds of this for an ordinary person.
Why exactly do you think that Sam Harris constantly has to walk around with armed bodyguards, for instance? You yourself won’t be safe either if you will aggressively criticize Islam to the same extent that Sam Harris does or draw Muhammad cartoons or whatever.

Government is good for almost nothing, and immigration policies are no exception.
