Here in the US we had a workplace revenge shooting by folks who just happened to be Muslim, and we had a guy who couldn't handle being both gay and Muslim freak out in a nightclub.
That's it.
There are mass shootings all the time in the States, but on that rare occasion the gun nut (and they're always gun nuts) happens to be Muslim the right-wing loses their shit in fear.
Jihadi terrorism may be a problem in Europe, but over here it's practically nothing.
That's right, Cliff.
9/11, San Bernadino, the previous attempt on the Twin Trade towers, the Orlando Gay nightclub massacre (the perp was a security guard for G4S), the Boston Bombing, the 2015 Chattanooga killings, the 2013 Buena Vista beheadings, the 2011 Waltham throat slittings - plus dozens and dozens of other attacks over the years.
Practically nothing.
The shadow is a moral problem that challenges the whole ego-personality, for no one can become conscious of the shadow without considerable moral effort. To become conscious of it involves recognizing the dark aspects of the personality as present and real. This act is the essential condition for any kind of self-knowledge.
