    Not end to terrorism, end to the war on terrorism.

    It's not that subtle a difference.

    There was terrorism before the gulf war, but we didn't have government spy on us and we didn't routinely bomb 7 countries.

    You're numbers are off I think.

    Beltway Sniper Attacks (Feb. 16, 2002-Oct. 24, 2002) – 17 Deaths
    • It may be difficult to classify this attack as terrorism since investigators found no terrorist ties or political motives, but the Virginia court described the killings as "pursuant to the direction or order" of terrorism
    Fort Hood Mass Shooting (Nov. 5, 2009) – 13 Deaths
    • The Virginia-born Muslim had pledged his allegiance to the mujahideen, and said he wanted to die “a martyr.”
    Boston Marathon Bombing (April 15, 2013) – 3 Deaths
    • Dzhokhar Tsarnaev said he and his brother were radicalized by Anwar al-Awlaki, an al-Qaeda preacher.
    San Bernardino Attack (Dec. 2, 2015) – 14 Deaths
    • The couple was reportedly inspired by Islamic terrorists but had no direct ties to them. President Obama defined the shooting as a terrorist act.
    Orlando Nightclub Shooting (June 12, 2016) – 49 Deaths
    • Mateen, who was born in New York, pledged allegiance to the leader of the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS) and also mentioned the Boston Marathon bombers in a 9-1-1 call.

    Seattle Jewish Center shooting - 1 Death
    • Pakistani-American Naveed Afzal Haq, shot six women at the Jewish Federation of Greater Seattle, killing one. Haq, who expressed anti-Semitic and anti-Western views during the 911 call leading to his capture, was convicted of aggravated first-degree murder
    Little Rock Military Recruiting Center shooting - 1 Death
    • Abdulhakim Mujahid Muhammad, a Muslim convert from Memphis, killed one soldier in a drive-by shooting on a military recruiting station in Little Rock, Arkansas, on June 1, 2009. He appeared to be a violent jihadist who self-radicalized after traveling to Yemen
    Oklahoma Vaughn Foods beheading - 1 Death
    • Nolan appeared to have converted to Islam during a prison stint, and had reportedly tried to convert coworkers to Islam. He also glorified jihad on Facebook.
    Slaying of two NYPD officers - 2 Deaths
    • Ismaaiyl Brinsley ambushed NYPD officers Wenjian Liu and Rafael Ramos, killing them with a 9-millimeter pistol, after alluding to the high-profile police-related deaths of Michael Brown and Eric Garner on social media. "Brinsley’s abandoned YouTube channel contained a video showing him heading to pray at Brooklyn’s Masjid At Taqwa, a mosque that has been linked to terrorist and anti-police activity.
    Chattanooga Recruiting Center shootings - 5 deaths
    • Muhammad Youssef Abdulazeez staged drive-by shootings on a military recruiting center and a U.S. Navy Reserve center on July 16, 2015, killing five. The perpetrator himself, a Jordanian citizen born in Kuwait and naturalized in the U.S., "searched the Internet in the days leading up to the attack for Islamic materials about whether martyrdom would lead to forgiveness for his sins, like drunkenness and financial debt, according to law enforcement officials,"




    Also, Riverman, this isn't a "Muslim" ban. This is a travel ban from 7 countries known to the intelligence community for containing terrorists, 3 of which are state sponsors of terror.

    And I would totally understand if other countries did not let us travel there.
