First Sentence Incorrect
Reader comment on item: How Europe's Counterterrorism Laws Differ from America's

Great article, but I think the operative phrase in your first sentence ... "the Muslim per-capita arrest rate on terrorism-related charges in the United States is 2.5 times higher than in Europe" should read "the Muslim per-capita arrest rate on terrorism-related charges in EUROPE is 2.5 times higher than in the United States."

At least that's the way I read the original article's lead in sentence.
