But this is really about that guy's assumptions and his audience's prejudices, not the truth. If we work off the official numbers, official declarations of what events are "terrorism" and who is or isn't muslim, then his revision of "killed" to "casualty" might be close to correct (within 100 casualties, on first glance).

And they successfully use it to write unConstitutional law, prosecute the innocent, and more.
