I cannot help but be aware that there are many Americans who have
been and who continue to be bamboozled into being afraid of
terrorists.
1. "3 False Assumptions About Muslims in the Age of ISIS," by Todd Green, Sojourners, March 28, 2016
"......In terms of mass shootings, 134 people in the U.S. died from these in 2015 alone, compared to 69 people who have been killed by Muslim extremists in the 14 years since 9/11. The years since 9/11 have also witnessed more than 220,000 murders, a number that dwarfs the number of deaths at the hands of Muslim extremists...... [emphasis added LAS]"
There's more. It is worse than silly to be afraid of Muslims at this point. Being afraid of Muslims has bad consequences. Repeating link: "3 False Assumptions About Muslims in the Age of ISIS," by Todd Green, Sojourners, March 28, 2016
2. For context, this is a story about a massacre that was committed by a true and blue American--an Eagle Scout--50 years ago. He killed 17 innocent Americans and injured 31 others, without even having had a Muslim bone in his body! "The Reckoning," by Pamela Colloff, Texas Monthly, March 2016. See also the excellent Charles Whitman Wikipedia page link.
My point is that it makes NO sense, given the facts, to waste a thought on being afraid of "terrorists"!

One way or another, raise yourself up I say; get over fear. If you are not doing it you can do it. Other people are doing it. We can learn from them, I find.
