On your point that an Islamic terrorist attack on American soil would not be very substantial as far as casualty count compared to other countries, you could just as easily say that the amount of backlash that peaceful, tolerant Muslims might possibly feel in America is also not very substantial compared to the scale of backlash of the peaceful Muslims that are being terminated by ISIS.

The backlash they might feel here is minuscule to the backlash they receive in other countries.

I say this as a South Asian that gets swept into the backlash by people who fear my brown skin.  I very much dislike it.

What I would like is not sympathy from Whites, which it is the format the OP seems to be taking, I want to see a movement for Islamic Reformation which cannot happen without a recognition of the fact that ISIS and all the other Islamic terror groups practice a very valid form of Islam.  They didn't make it up, it's not a twisted interpretation.  It's the way Islam was practiced ever since it's founder entered Medina.

If your interest is not a discussion of a possible backlash, but instead a discussion of an Islamic reformation movement, I am afraid that you joined the wrong thread and that you should probably start your own.

It is very tiresome when someone joins a thread only to say, "I am not interested in your issue, I want you to be interested in my issue". Go start your own thread.

Also, given the fact that you are South Asian, could you please start a reformation movement to stop South Asians from making scam telephone calls to me? Almost every day I get a telephone call from someone with a strong South Asian accent who tells me that my Windows computer has a problem. I don't own any Windows computers. If you South Asians don't acknowledge that these scams are a valid form of business, I'm not going to sympathize about a backlash.

I didn't derail this thread, I joined the 'conversation' where someone wrote ""Radical Islamic Violence is not a very realistic threat to the average American".  I wrote my thoughts on that comment.  You responded asking me to provide you with a "scope" of that threat would look like.  Again I responded.  You stated that the scope was insignificant.  I also replied that along those lines of thinking we could just as easily say the "scope" of Muslim backlash is insignificant.

Next, you want me to go away and then throw insults at my ethnicity.  Okay then Mr. Moderator.

I didn't accuse you of derailing this thread. I suggested that based on your own words, this thread wasn't of interest to you. Also, where did I insult your ethnicity? I didn't make a single derogatory comment about your ethnicity. You are awful touchy for someone who thinks that Muslims need to reform their religion before they can worry about a backlash.
