re: Tucker Carlson says no one's been killed (in the U.S.) by radical islam in 24 years ....

Don’t interrupt his Tucker movement …

No it's the right that don't agree with political hit pieces and cancel culture using it.

The left made up that term because they were annoyed by being called woke, and you are helping them legitimize it. Quit siding with leftist scum.

As redefined by liberals

I'm not following. Liberals started referring to themselves as woke to highlight the fact that they've abandoned personal responsibility?

It's just a point of fact. The people who blame the patriarchy, for instance, are doing so because they need an oppressor. It's just how wokeness manifests itself.

"Woke Right" was a phrase I believe coined by Konstantin Kisin a few years ago. A term he specifically used to call out the shift in ideology by Tucker Carlson.

"I don't know anyone who has been murdered by Islamic terror. I do know people who have died from fentanyl."

Exactly.

Carlson’s point here is the threat from radical Islamic terrorism — when viewed on an individual level — is minuscule compared to many other societal issues. Statistically, it is much more likely for a U.S. citizen to be a victim of violent crime than to be targeted in an act of terror.

This is not meant to diminish the very real security threat posed by Islamic terrorism; rather, it acknowledges that ideologically motivated violence is extremely rare. Therefore, while the intent of Carlson’s statements might be perceived as downplaying the threat of Islamic terror, the argument is primarily about maintaining perspective relative to the actual statistical risk posed by acts of terror.

Unfortunately, he is diminishing the very real threat by making this point. We have to take this threat seriously and NOW.

Can we see AIPAC's FARA filings?

Oh wow, that is certainly a twist I didn’t know about.
