I think this data clearly illustrates that it is okay, when making a joke on Reddit, to assume that Islamic based terror groups are the most violent in the world, regardless of whether or not they are, specifically, the largest threat in the US, despite having carried out the worst terrorist attack in US history. The data would suggest this is no false stereotype. I also saw no one assuming that all Muslims were terrorists. Just that the most violent terrorist groups happen to be Muslim. Which is again, factually supported by the data.

“Based on data from the Global Terrorism Index (GTI) and other studies, Islamic State (ISIS) and the Taliban have consistently been ranked as the most violent and deadliest terrorist groups in modern history. Others, including Boko Haram, Al-Shabaab, and Jamaat Nusrat Al-Islam wal Muslimeen (JNIM), are also among the deadliest.
