It's a rather misleading statement engineered to encourage an emotional rather than a rational response.
The people who propagate, disseminate and advocate these kind of statements are far more dangerous.
adjective
1.
full of danger or risk; causing danger; perilous; risky; hazardous; unsafe.
2.
able or likely to cause physical injury.
#2 Is a fairly relevant, but with the emphasis on 'able', rather than 'likely'.
I suppose if you changed the phrase to "potentially especially dangerous" it would be more accurate but starts to become a bit of a tongue twister.
These people possess limited mental capacity, understanding and aptitude in grasping facts and truths.
