Terrorists

with all due respect this is the trouble you get into when you let others do your thinking for you.

Good point. Seems to be a fairly common problem here too.

If you haven't seen this before it's a must....if you have, watch it again!!
This woman is a quick thinker and smart with a great memory for stats.
The woman in this video had no problem responding to a Muslim woman's question, and she handled it in a split second. This is worth a minute of your time.

I agree completely.

It doesn't matter whether you're:

a "radical" Muslim;
a "moderate" Muslim or;
an "entry level" Muslim,

the Koran says the same thing......there are, I believe, 64 verses that refer to jihad.

Why is this so difficult for some of you to understand?

ok so i was listening to the corporate radio today and they said a fraction of 1% of muslims in the world are terrorists which was of no surprise to me, but it was a reminder.

now heres a question for you so called conservatives:

you support the war on terrorism (costs 1.5 trillion per year in USA) even though there is an extremely low possibility of it occuring to you personally. why not support action on man made global warming if you think the same?

Lulz.

It doesn't matter whether you're:

a "Protestant" Christian;
an "Evangelical" Christian or;
a "Baptist" Christian,

the Bible says the same thing......there are, I believe, many verses that refer to subjugating your woman.

where does it say kill the infidel in the bible??? or honor-kill your wife or daughter?? or there is no place for gay people and they must be killed??
The Koran and the Bible ARE NOT the same.

No, they're not the same, but if you want to look, you can find examples of crazy in both books.

There is a difference between CRAZY and MANIACAL !!

If Brown Army, DIDO and some others are so sympathetic to Muslims and their Koran why don't they move to the middle east? Perhaps the company will let them build/operate a UPS hub/center there?

we don't do what we recommend we just recommend it...

the percentage of terrorists and muslims who support them is much higher.
but taking your argument what is 1 percent of 1.5 billion? 15 million?

considering that one terrorist in the right situation can kill at least 15 to 30 people . what does that 15 million times 30 equal in innocent deaths?

Did you learn anything from Paris?

its not 1 percent lol. a fraction of 1 percent so maybe 0.1% or something.

but lets just go with your 1 percent number. that is extremely unlikely. now lets say your philosophy on climate change is its possible (.1% chance of happening) but not probable.

here is another list of things more likely to kill you than terrorists. question is if these things kill americans more, and terrorists kill so few americans, why is there no war on these things and whats with all the terrorist hype? before the terrorists, there was the russians. im guessing the odds of an america dying because of a russian were also very low.

from antimedia:
1. Television: TV might be linked to earlier deaths among those who watch more than a few hours a day, but more concretely, the devices themselves kill 176 people a year. Literally. They fall on people. That’s 55 times more deaths than Islamic terror claims annually.

2. Fireworks: According to the Consumer Product Safety Commission, celebrating the 4th of July might be more deadly than Islamic terror attacks. The organization reports an average of 7.1 deaths per year — meaning Americans are more likely to blow themselves up than be eviscerated by the jihadist bombers they so fear.

3. Cows: Yes, cows. According to the CDC, cattle slay an average of 20 Americans every year. While these deaths occur mostly among farm workers, dogs kill 28 Americans per year, spiders kill seven, and venomous lizards and snakes kill six. All of these animals are still more likely to kill an American than the caliphate and other Islamic boogeymen.

4. Elevators: While the fear of dying as a result of an elevator malfunction has probably plagued many Americans at one time or another, such a worry is likely fleeting. However, if Americans are truly concerned with “common sense,” a virtue Donald Trump frequently touts, they would do well to readjust their phobias. Elevators kill 27 Americans per year, according to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics and the Consumer Product Safety Commission.

5. Choking: Americans will sooner perish from choking on food or other objects than from an Islamic terror attack. At least 2,500 people per year are killed by this type of asphyxiation — 781 times more than from a jihadi assault. Hot dogs are particularly menacing. Perhaps we should ban them in the same vein as Trump’s proposed ban on Muslims. Then again, killing fewer cows to grind up for beef dogs might lead to an uptick in cattle-on-human violence. America is at a perilous crossroads.

6. Lightning: People often quip that one is “more likely to be struck by lightning” when they want to highlight an event’s improbability. However, even as the number of deaths from lightning decreases over the long-term, it is still higher than the number of people killed by Muslim terror attacks each year. Forty-nine people per year die from being struck by lightning — more than 15 times the rate of death from Islamic extremist murders.

7. Car accidents: Though most Americans are aware of the high risk of death by car accident, this knowledge doesn’t mitigate their extreme Islamophobia. The Association for Safe International Road Travel estimates about 37,000 Americans die each year in vehicular accidents, over 11,562 times the number killed by Muslim fanatics.

8. Heart Attacks: Heart attacks are one of America’s leading killers, claiming 190,625 times more American lives than Islamic terror. 610,000 Americans die from heart attacks per year. Cancer kills 589,430 Americans annually, and diabetes is the main cause of death for 69,071 Americans per year. They are responsible for astronomically more fatalities than radical Islamic terror.

9. Police: According to a three-year average of American police killings logged by killedbypolice.net — a more comprehensive database than the federal government’s — police killed 998 people on average per year from 2013-2015. That’s roughly 312 times the average annual number of people killed by Islamic extremists since 9/11. The average number of people killed by Islamic terrorism in the last three years is 7.7 — including the recent shooting in San Bernardino — and by that parallel measure, police are still about 130 times deadlier than terrorists.

10. Prescription Painkillers: The CDC estimates that 44 people die per day from overdosing on pharmaceutical painkillers. Never mind that that number is almost 14 times the number of Americans killed by Islamic terrorism each year. Based on the CDC’s figure, about 16,060 Americans die annually from painkillers — making the Big-Pharma money-makers 5,019 times more deadly than the Islamic terror that has Americans trembling whilst hiding under their blankies.

Other notable risks of death greater than an Islamic terror attack include scalding tap water, which kills 100 American per year; bad medical care, estimated to be responsible for at least 100,000 deaths in the U.S. annually; and hypothermia, which kills 1,340 Americans per year. Oh, and don’t forget Christmas trees. Fires caused by Christmas trees kill roughly ten people every year. Are Christmas trees conspiring with their lights to traitorously wage war on Christians via suicidal self-combustion?

Your facts are wrong .
Older TVs were bulky and heavy , today's are slim and light , so there is a slim chance of them killing anyone .
You also forgot to include undocumented guests who are driving drunk , most without proper permits .

ok you guys call yourself conservatives so your qualified to answer:

id like to know how you square spending more than half of all your tax dollars on one thing which is very unlikely to happen to you (terrorism) but not spend even a fraction of the amount of tax dollars on another thing which you believe to be very unlikely to happen to you (global warming).

I don't think you get it. I don't spend half my tax dollars on anything . my tax dollars are spent on things without my input. If you get your way that amount increases. If I get my way that amount is lessened. my goal is to pay as little as possible on taxes and use the savings to be buy the personal protection of my choice.

so you government spends 60% of all taxes on terrorism. what should it spend on terrorism which is statistically very unlikely to affect you?
