[quote=“fred smith”]Prove white men have caused more terrorism than Arab males. I would be curious to see how you manage that.[/quote] I am not holding any claim that they commit more terrorism than whites seeing that Arabs around the world feel like they have a lot more to be angry about than white people. I said they are more likely to commit terrorism on American soil than Arabs. That said, here is your proof:
-October 16, 1859 - John Brown raids Harper’s Ferry taking more than 40 hostages
-November 1, 1955 - The first civilian plane destroyed by a bomber. Jack Gilbert Graham, age 23, put a bomb into his mother’s suitcase so he could collect her insurance money. She boarded a United Airlines flight from Denver to Portland. Explosion killed 44 people. Graham admitted guilt, convicted of murder, executed.
-September 15, 1963 - A white man was seen getting out of a white and turquoise Chevrolet car and placing a box under the steps of the Sixteenth Street Baptist Church. Soon afterwards, at 10.22 a.m., the bomb exploded killing four children. The four girls had been attending Sunday school classes at the church. Twenty-three other people were also hurt by the blast.

-1866 to present - The Ku Klux Klan has so many acts of terrorism (arson, bombings, and murder) under their belt, that their acts alone far outnumber those committed by any other race group.
All terrorist acts committed by white males.
Number of terrorist acts committed by Arabs on American soil:
February 23, 1993 - The terrorists drove the 1,500-pound urea-nitrate bomb into the basement area of the World Trade Center and then set the timer and left. The explosion rocked the World Trade Center killing six people and injuring over a thousand others.
September 11, 2003 - On the morning of September 11th terrorists hijacked four commercial jet planes and attempted to fly them into several U.S. targets. This terrorist attack brought about the death of approximately 3,000 men, women and children from nations around the world.
Terrorism is horrible on any level, but let’s not fool ourselves into thinking that it’s only Arabs who have targeted innocent lives in America to push their personal agendas.
