Is that necessarily true though, in the United States? In the Middle East and other predominately Muslim areas, I don't have a case against what you're saying.

But here, I'm not so sure. Is it that these are the values of the religion being carried out, and that there is a statistically significant breakdown in mass shootings by ethnicity/religion in the United States? I'm having trouble finding that breakdown. Or is it a confirmation bias that has us as a society focusing on mass shootings committed by Muslims?
