Since 2010, 242 killed in mass shootings in US, 38 killed in terror attacks in UK, Not all killed where Muslim attacks, some were attacks on Muslims.

The biggest in the UK was the 22 killed at the Manchester Concert bomb attack.

The US obviously had the large Vegas shooting of 59, but you had 4 mass shootings since 2012 which were larger than the worst terrorist attack in the UK.

Driver mowed down those people 3 minutes from where my best friend works. He's a cyclist who took the bus that day. I get numbers and stats, but I don't think the data cleanse is helpful.

Yes, and the Nice terror attack took the lives of 86 people and the injury of 458 others....with a truck. Larger single event than any of your stats. The point is your are trying to paint a picture that doesn't need to be painted here. The tragedy in all these events are that people died. People died because some person in each event was deranged and/or fanatical.
