The murder rate in our country has little to do with Muslims.

Lindy Bill said to look at the multi-racial (not multi-cultural) make up of our country to understand the murder rate. He was being politically correct. I am not sure what you are pretending to be.

Blacks in the USA account for 1/8 of the population but about 2/3 of the murders. That is what Lindy Bill must be referring to.

Muslims do not account for the murder rate. However, allowing Arab Muslims in our country to live, to me, is unnecessary risk. That is based on the evidence of terrorist attacks and the lack of accepting our American cultural values.

all these countries with much larger muslim populations than ours yet we are the ones running around killing each other at ridiculous rates.

The Muslim population in each country has nothing observable to do with the murder rate. I can't pull up the stat, but I think the black 12% of our population is committing 50% of our murders.
