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

quote:

---

"No one's been killed by radical islam in the past 24 years."

That is not what Carlson said. This is the actual quote: “And I don’t know anyone in the United States in the last 24 years who’s been killed by radical Islam…”

Your quote and Tucker’s actual quote aren’t equivalent statements. In context of the entire interview, Carlson is clearly stating that he doesn’t know anyone personally in the U.S. who has been killed by radical Islam since 2001, not stating that no one has been killed by radical Islam in the past 24 years.

With that said, I certainly acknowledge that our personal experiences should not — in and of itself — preclude the existence of a larger threat. Just because we may not know anyone personally killed by radical Islam doesn’t mean it isn’t a national security risk.

To illustrate: I might not personally know anyone who has died from a fentanyl overdose, but I wouldn’t deny that the opioid crisis is real. Similarly, even if Carlson doesn’t personally know anyone who was killed by radical Islam, that doesn’t mean it’s not a threat to our nation’s national security.

So we can certainly debate whether radical Islam is a threat to liberty in this country regardless of Carlson’s personal experience, but we should first engage with Carlson’s actual argument, not with a misquoted version. The distinction here is significant if we are going to have a meaningful discussion over Carlson’s actual argument.

Could not have said it better myself. Too many people here with reading and / or listening comprehension problems. Or just being lazy.

Having said that, his personal experience does not paint the full picture, as you stated.

Anyone who has read or listened to the full quote understands the larger point he was trying to make.

If you are aware of anyone that TC knew who has been killed by radical Islam in the US in the past 24 years, tell us who you think it was.

Why don’t you distill it down for us.

quote:

At least he’s not bought by Israel like everyone else

---

Not bought by 20million worldwide pop., but potentially bought by 1b+ pop worldwide.

quote:

He is right about all the personal stuff he is seeing as a problem. And we need to fix all those issues. Problem with Tucker right now is that he has become dismissive of the concerns of Islam we should have. He has this thing about "well it's not as bad as the other, so stop being stupid over dealing with it" distraction attitude. We need to be highly concerned over both just as equally, the just need to be handled differently.

---

This isn't what he said at all.

He said he sees bigger problems that we face as a country than Islam.

Muslims make up 2% of the population. South American immigrants and inner city violence is a bigger concern if you were to look at it objectively.

Problem is you can't. You're too far down the X algorithm. And you don't even know it. We have people linking Laura Loomer to get at Tucker

quote:

---

I disagree. What he said can only be taken as he's trying to make the problem less than it is.

---

You can recognize radical Islam as a problem and also recognize bigger problems the country faces. Unless you're an absolute retards who don't think two things can be true at once.

Imagine cubbies saying that quote on here. How would you have responded?

Straw man.

This is a message board. Most of us have been here 15+ years. We can see through bullshite pretty easy.

You are the bullshite.

All the above are a challenge here.

He never said no one in the US was killed by radical Islam in the US in the last 24 years.


Folks here just love to run with falsehoods and create an alternate reality.
