I think he's trying to defend TSA's racial profiling, but well, in the eyes of the average TSA agent, aren't "all brown people are the same"? And to them, the "brown people" are the terrorists?

The current trend is for rightwing, white supremacy/incel extremism, so TSA racial profiling is dangerous because they might accidentally let a Nazi with guns on a plane, but grandparent commenter is not wrong, that the TSA are myopic...

You're grasping at straws here. How do you even determine the size of the 'groups'?


Islamists are also right wing extremists. They are just as nuts as right wing extremists from other religions. Not sure why you need so much to separate their acts of terror. It's just insane people who have imaginary friends on the sky that guide them to kill real people.


Are you pretending that anti-lgbt or antisemitic rhetoric is not present in the left?

Have you read a single recent history book about the 20th century?


Who's talking about the left here? I did not say anything about "the left", and much less pretend anything about them.

I just said that islamists are right wing extremists, and they do themselves say it so. Their main fight is precisely against the left-induced degeneracy of society.
