Generally, anti-Muslim experts repeatedly argue that Islam is a "cancer" of the United States because of recent terrorist attacks.

First of all, this is absolutely biased, and they actually don't care about other non-Muslim violence such as gun violence and white supremacists. Even Donald Trump doesn't say anything about a white supremacist who killed 6 Muslim civilians in Canada.
Question: How many casualties were responsible by Muslim and non-Muslim suspects from 2014 to 2016? Let's look!

2014 - 2016

There were 70 deaths and 94 injuries by Muslim extremists. Oh no! This is very awful.
Really? Do you have any idea how many casualties were responsible by gun violence? I know that Donald Trump doesn't want to hear an answer, but let me help you to find a perfect answer.


Here you go.

There were 341,141 deaths and 380,672 injuries by gun violence across the country.
Note that the death toll is likely to rise in coming years because  patients are now more likely to die from a gunshot wound than they were even 10 years ago, presumably thanks to the increasingly powerful and sophisticated  guns being manufactured and sold in the U.S.

Obviously, people sometimes don't hear the news about gun violence in the U.S. daily because they don't care about it.

In the Orlando massacre, for example, a gunman killed 49 people, but the fact that there were 93 other people who had died in the U.S. in the last 72 hours in separate gun violence incidents.

Also, do you know that some conservative Christians praised the Orlando massacre? Visit:

Unfortunately, President Trump is a strong supporter of Second Amendment which it means that he believes its people can get the guns easily. Even a person with a mental illness issue can get a gun too. Visit:

So, is the Second Amendment a threat to the United States?
