The disparity in media coverage is particularly out of sync with the reality given that white and rightwing terrorists carried out nearly twice as many terrorist attacks as Muslim extremists between 2008 and 2016.

It's not the only unsolved problem.

“Fun” fact: “...an American is at higher risk of being killed by another American with a gun than a European is of being killed by a terrorist.” https://towardsdatascience.com/fear-factor-guns-vs-terrorism...

Not as bad as sending out drones to kill civilians and creating more terrorists.

The Muslim Suni ideology is full of terror acts since its inception.

Are you saying all Suni Muslims are terrorists and deserve to be targeted without discrimination

No. But we shouldn't turn a blind eye on the hate filled Islamic sources.

Personally I'm a lot more worried about getting shot in Michigan than I am getting blown up in Kabul.

Of course I'm not very worried about getting shot.
