What it just means is those who support this policy as a means of protection should be advocating for policies that address the 73% of the crimes committed by members of a small, though much larger than 1%, of the population.

I agree 100%. I just read the Cato article as an attempt to lessen the impact of Muslim terror, by simply using raw numbers to draw an illustration.

As Benton said after he changed his 7 spark plugs: Mental health may be a larger factor than Religious/cult affiliation. I wish more people would take advantage of the mental health services offered through their insurance of volunteer agencies.
