Calm Down … You Are Much More Likely to Be Killed By Boring, Mundane Things than Terrorism
We noted in 2011:
– You are 17,600 times more likely to die from heart disease than from a terrorist attack
– You are 12,571 times more likely to die from cancer than from a terrorist attack
— You are 11,000 times more likely to die in an airplane accident than from a terrorist plot involving an airplane
— You are 1048 times more likely to die from a car accident than from a terrorist attack
–You are 404 times more likely to die in a fall than from a terrorist attack
— You are 87 times more likely to drown than die in a terrorist attack
– You are 13 times more likely to die in a railway accident than from a terrorist attack
–You are 12 times more likely to die from accidental suffocation in bed than from a terrorist attack
–You are 9 times more likely to choke to death on your own vomit than die in a terrorist attack
–You are 8 times more likely to be killed by a police officer than by a terrorist
–You are 8 times more likely to die from accidental electrocution than from a terrorist attack
– You are 6 times more likely to die from hot weather than from a terrorist attack
Let’s look at some details from the most recent official statistics.
The U.S. Department of State reports that only 17 U.S. citizens were killed worldwide as a result of terrorism in 2011. That figure includes deaths in Afghanistan, Iraq and all other theaters of war.
In contrast, the American agency which tracks health-related issues – the U.S. Centers for Disease Control – rounds up the most prevalent causes of death in the United States:

Comparing the CDC numbers to terrorism deaths means:
– You are 35,079 times more likely to die from heart disease than from a terrorist attack
– You are 33,842 times more likely to die from cancer than from a terrorist attack
(Keep in mind when reading this entire piece that we are consistently and substantially understating the risk of other causes of death as compared to terrorism, because we are comparing deaths from various causes within the United States against deaths from terrorism worldwide.)
Wikipedia notes that obesity is a a contributing factor in 100,000–400,000 deaths in the United States per year. That makes obesity 5,882 to times 23,528 more likely to kill you than a terrorist.
The annual number of deaths in the U.S. due to avoidable medical errors is as high as http://www.hhs.gov/secretary/about/opeds/phillainquirer20110425.html. Indeed, one of the world’s leading medical journals – Lancet – reported in 2011:
A November, 2010, document from the Office of the Inspector General of the Department of Health and Human Services reported that, when in hospital, one in seven beneficiaries of Medicare (the government-sponsored health-care programme for those aged 65 years and older) have complications from medical errors, which contribute to about 180 000 deaths of patients per year.
That’s just Medicare beneficiaries, not the entire American public. Scientific American noted in 2009:
Preventable medical mistakes and infections are responsible for about 200,000 deaths in the U.S. each year, according to an investigation by the Hearst media corporation.
But let’s use the lower – 100,000 – figure. That still means that you are 5,882 times more likely to die from medical error than terrorism.
The CDC says that some 80,000 deaths each year are attributable to excessive alcohol use. So you’re 4,706 times more likely to drink yourself to death than die from terrorism.
Wikipedia notes that there were 32,367 automobile accidents in 2011, which means that you are 1,904 times more likely to die from a car accident than from a terrorist attack. As CNN reporter Fareed Zakaria http://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/fareed-zakaria-a-better-way-for-america-to-integrate-muslims/2013/04/24/9e1ca588-ad12-11e2-b6fd-ba6f5f26d70e_story.html (writes) this week:
“Since 9/11, foreign-inspired terrorism has claimed about two dozen lives in the United States. (Meanwhile, more than 100,000 have been killed in gun homicides and more than 400,000 in motor-vehicle accidents.) “
According to a 2011 CDC report, poisoning from prescription drugs is even more likely to kill you than a car crash. Indeed, the CDC stated in 2011 that – in the majority of states – your prescription meds are more likely to kill you than any other source of injury. So your meds are thousands of times more likely to kill you than Al Qaeda.
The number of deaths by suicide has also surpassed car crashes, and many connect the increase in suicides to the downturn in the economy. Around 35,000 Americans kill themselves each year (and more American soldiers die by suicide than combat; the number of veterans committing suicide is astronomical andhttp://www.statesman.com/news/news/local-military/veteran-suicide-after-returning-home/nSPW5/). So you’re 2,059 times more likely to kill yourself than die at the hand of a terrorist.
The CDC notes that there were 7,638 deaths from HIV and 45from syphilis, so you’re 452 times more likely to die from risky sexual behavior than terrorism.
The National Safety Council reports that more than http://www.uma.edu/fallprotection.htmlAmericans die a year from falls … most of them involve people falling off their roof or ladder trying to clean their gutters, put up Christmas lights and the like. That means that you’re 353times more likely to fall to your death doing something idiotic than die in a terrorist attack.
The agency in charge of workplace safety – the U.S. Occupational Safety and Health Administration – reports that4,609 workers were killed on the job in 2011 within the U.S. homeland. In other words, you are 271 times more likely to die from a workplace accident than terrorism.
The CDC notes that 3,177 people died of “nutritional deficiencies” in 2011, which means you are 187 times more likely to starve to death in American than be killed by terrorism.
Scientific American notes:
You might have toxoplasmosis, an infection caused by the microscopic parasite Toxoplasma gondii, which the CDC estimates has infected about 22.5 percent of Americans older than 12 years old
Toxoplasmosis is a brain-parasite. The CDC reports that more than 375 Americans die annually due to toxoplasmosis. In addition, 3 Americans died in 2011 after being exposed to a brain-eating amoeba. So you’re about 22 times more likely to die from a brain-eating zombie parasite than a terrorist.
There were at least 155 Americans killed by police officers in the United States in 2011. That means that you were more than 9times more likely to be killed by a law enforcement officer than by a terrorist.
And the 2011 Report on Terrorism from the National Counter Terrorism Center notes that Americans are just as likely to be “crushed to death by their televisions or furniture each year” as they are to be killed by terrorists.
Let’s switch to 2008, to take advantage of another treasure trove of data.
According to the Council on Foreign Relations, 33 U.S. citizens were killed worldwide in 2008 from terrorism. There were 301,579,895 Americans living on U.S. soil in 2008, so the risk of dying from terrorist attacks in 2008 was 1 in 9,138,785.
This graphic from the National Safety Council – based upon 2008 data – shows the relative risks of dying from various causes:
http://www.washingtonsblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/04/Risk-of-Death.jpg (<div class="bbImageWrapper js-lbImage" title="Risk-of-Death.jpg" data-src="/community/proxy.php?image=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.washingtonsblog.com%2Fwp-content%2Fuploads%2F2013%2F04%2FRisk-of-Death.jpg&hash=c3b46e3094f6f34275e3eadec7665871" data-lb-sidebar-href="" data-lb-caption-extra-html="" data-single-image="1"> <img src="/community/proxy.php?image=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.washingtonsblog.com%2Fwp-content%2Fuploads%2F2013%2F04%2FRisk-of-Death.jpg&hash=c3b46e3094f6f34275e3eadec7665871" data-url="http://www.washingtonsblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/04/Risk-of-Death.jpg" class="bbImage" data-zoom-target="1" style="" alt="Risk-of-Death.jpg" title="" width="" height="" loading="lazy" /> </div>)If the risk of being killed by a terrorist were added to the list, the dot would be so small that it would be hard to see. Specifically, the risk of being killed by terrorism in 2008 was 14 times smaller than being killed by fireworks.
Reason provides some more examples:
[The risk of being killed by terrorism] compares annual risk of dying in a car accident of 1 in 19,000;drowning in a bathtub at 1 in 800,000; dying in a building fire at 1 in 99,000; or being struck by lightning at 1 in 5,500,000. In other words, in the last five years you were four times more likely to be struck by lightning than killed by a terrorist.
The National Consortium for the Study of Terrorism and Responses to Terrorism (START) has just published, http://www.start.umd.edu/start/announcements/BackgroundReport_10YearsSince9_11.pdf[PDF]. The report notes, excluding the 9/11 atrocities, that fewer than 500 people died in the U.S. from terrorist attacks between 1970 and 2010.
Terrorism pushes our emotional buttons. And politicians and the media tend to blow the risk of terrorism out of proportion. But as the figures above show, terrorism is a very unlikely cause of death.

You’re More Likely to be Killed by a Toddler than a TerroristRadical Islamists were also indicted more frequently than non-Muslim extremists and served longer sentences
Since 9/11, white right-wing terrorists have killed almost twice as many Americans in homegrown attacks than radical Islamists have, according to research by the New America Foundation.
In their June study, the foundationdecided to examine groups “engaged in violent extremist activity” and found that white extremists were by far the most dangerous. They pointed to the recent Emanuel AME Church shooting in Charleston, S.C., and the 2012 attack on a Sikh temple in Wisconsin, as well as many lesser-known attacks on Jewish institutions and on police. They found that 48 people were killed by white terrorists, while 26 were killed by radical Islamists, since Sept. 11.
The study also found that the criminal justice system judged jihadists more harshly than their non-Muslim counterparts, indicting them more frequently than non-jihadists and handing down longer sentences.

Also are you implying that it's not necessary to try to stop them because not enough deaths are caused by them? Good luck with that.
If it's hard to debate with idiots Then I suggest you don't debate with yourself lol.
The point is, now try to follow along if you're able to, you are so fucking concerned with Muslim terrorists you forget more deaths are caused by non-Muslim terrorists. You're so infatuated with them from what you hear by your politicians and news media that you are no longer objective. You view reality through bigoted eyes which is why it's a waste of time to argue with you but luckily for you I have plenty of time to waste.
Why are you only concerned with looking for terrorists that identify as Muslims? What about other terrorists?
It is important to stop ppl who do harm to others, nice Strawman btw, but it's just as important to help those that need it who aren't doing harm to others. Of course since you cannot differentiate between the two groups you say all Muslims but honestly I don't expect much better from you so it is what it is. Who was it that said, "better a hundred guilty men to free than one innocent man suffer"? Oh yea, that was Ben Franklin....

Ending Blowback Terrorism
http://www.project-syndicate.org/co...blowback-terrorism-by-jeffrey-d-sachs-2015-11
Terrorist attacks on civilians, whether the downing over Sinai of a Russian aircraft killing 224 civilian passengers, the horrific Paris massacre claiming 129 innocent lives, or the tragic bombing in Ankara that killed 102 peace activists, are crimes against humanity.
Their perpetrators – in this case, the Islamic State (ISIS) – must be stopped. Success will require a clear understanding of the roots of this ruthless network of jihadists.
Painful as it is to admit, the West, especially the United States, bears significant responsibility for creating the conditions in which ISIS has flourished. Only a change in US and European foreign policy vis-à-vis the Middle East can reduce the risk of further terrorism.
The recent attacks should be understood as “blowback terrorism”: a dreadful unintended result of repeated US and European covert and overt military actions throughout the Middle East, North Africa, the Horn of Africa, and Central Asia that aimed to overthrow governments and install regimes compliant with Western interests.

That's so funny. You're comparing an organized country, military and training factors to a man who probably is a taxi driver and now has to hold a gun and fight as a soldier. it's a big difference.
We have guns here, wer allowed to own them and shoot. They never held a gun because it's illegal to own one.
Plus you're retarded to say wer fighting for our country.. Get your head out of your ass.

This thread is going to mount to failure. All the red necks and ignorant media watching, brain washed idiots going to call Muslims terrorists and every Muslim is a terrorist.
So what's the point. Let them think so..
So what's the point. Let them think so..
I'm not convinced the various government leaders consider "blowback terrorism" a bad thing. After all, each time it happens they gain more power, and push through new authoritative surveillance and detention laws. No conspiracies needed; all they have to do is continue beating the ISIS hornets nest, and "blowback" will happen.
I'm sorry.... but this has to be the most ignorant thing i've read all day

So, it's only "racist" if it's perceived negativity towards one group and not another? For example, blacks can't be racist against whites, etc etc? Sworder, you feel so strongly about embracing these refugees and allowing them to come into the country, but when I or someone else raise a valid concern, you dismiss us as insensitive. These refugees would indeed be a financial burden and your response is the US military is a financial burden.....really? That's a great comparison! And to deny there could be a potential threat by allowing these refugees in the country is premature. Agreed, we can't limit a threat to that group exclusively, but it's a good idea to entertain the possibility of a threat should we allow them into the country.

He's right, your analogies are irrelevant. Everyone knows you have a much greater chance of dying as a result of an auto accident; however, to dismiss the radical Muslim extremist threat is idiotic! Comparing an accident to an intentional act is truly foolish.

Well, not every Muslim, just most haha jk
Who said to completely dismiss anything?
Muslim extremist threat has killed 17 ppl on our soil according to the statistics they mentioned. It's a tragedy that these 17ppl lost their lives but let's be realistic, how serious exactly is this threat and how do you apply it to the refugees? As 9-11 showed us if a terrorist wants to get in the country he can. Denying safe haven to the millions of refugees to keep ppl out who will get in anyway if they want to is what is truly idiotic and foolish. Your argument is a joke.

You sir are a joke! Again, we don't need to offer anyone a safe haven and we don't need to add to the financial burden. You're free, however, to take as many refugees as you please into your home and provide them with food and shelter and love and nurturing and everything else they need as human beings.
It's part of what separates us from the rest of the animal kingdom or have you forgotten that? I will happily help any HUMAN BEING who is being victimized in such manners as these ppl are. And you are free to donate your income to our government to help with the financial burden yada yada yada. Keep the jokes coming.
