Study Reveals the Obvious: "Muslim Homegrown Terrorism Not a Serious Threat"

Prof. Risa A. Brooks's Study Reveals the Obvious: "Muslim Homegrown Terrorism Not a Serious Threat" | loonwatch.com

I'll highlight this relevant passage:

Studies of Muslim communities provide little evidence of changes or trends that suggest they are becoming any less resilient against the threat of militancy in their midst. 

For example, one major effort funded by the Department of Justice, in which researchers resided for periods of two to three months in four midsized Muslim American communities, found that several features of these communities rendered them intrinsically resistant to militancy, including, in particular, the strength of their communal organizations and social networks. In addition, there were efforts expressly geared toward preventing and exposing any signs of militancy, including both outreach programs and a variety of internal monitoring, or self-policing, practices. 

Despite the concerns expressed by many analysts and public officials, the evidence does not support the conclusion that Americans face a growing threat of deadly attacks plotted by Muslims in the United States. 

Seen in light of the threats posed by other segments of the population, the one posed by Muslim Americans appears neither especially novel, nor severe.

But the Islamophobes won't listen to this, of course. 

Muslim Americans are taking care of militancy within their own communities. There's no reason to worry America. Muslims are not out to kill you. Sure, there are some nuts out there, but the statistics demonstrate that this is not anywhere near any sort of large percentage of Muslims engaged in terrorism. Far from it. It's minuscule.
