Here is a link to the GAO report itself. It is a pdf, so just be aware. The CATO article also mentions a study by Georgia State that showed disparity in the incidents reported by the media and those that occurred wi9th a bias towards more reporting on incidents carried out by Muslim extremists, which make up about 27% of the occurrences. It's some good reading. The CATO article more so if you aren't a policy nerd/wonk.

Did they take total percentage of populations into account or is it simply using raw numbers? For instance the Muslim population in the US only makes up 0.9% of the population in the U.S. while whitey makes up the vast majority.
