    I don't think anyone has attacked you because you have a problem with ISIS ideology.

    Thank goodness this was stopped.

    Not really. People were buying lawn darts and freaking out about LSD/needled Halloween candy long before CNN.


    I think you might soon be a truther.

    Nowhere did I imply that I would resort to baseless conjecture.

    I stated that "someone" might.

    So you are out right denying that 24/7 news coverage and readily available internet has influenced society in regards to being more paranoid about outside affairs that more than likely will have no influence on them what so ever?

    Just use CNN's month long 24/7 coverage of flight mh370. You don't think an impressionable individual who relies on CNN for their news is a tad bit more paranoid of flight travel now?

    1) No it's not.
    2) For a meta look, go to http://thereligionofpeace.com/
    3) Appeasement is the wrong strategy.

    The religion of peace continues to contribute to world peace, this time in India:

    Gunmen attack Indian air base near Pakistan border, 6 dead

    Security forces gunned down four terrorists at an air force base in Punjab’s Pathankot district on Saturday morning, ending a four-hour siege that set alarm bells ringing in the country on the second day of a new year. Three Indian Air Force (IAF) personnel were martyred in the gunfight.
    Gunshots rang out of the facility around 3:30am as a group of four-five men in army-style clothing - believed to be operatives of the Jaish-e-Mohammed terrorist group - launched the daring operation less than 24 hours after an alarm was sounded in the state over the assault of a top police officer by suspected Pakistani terrorists.
    “The gun battle between the terrorists and security forces ended by 8am on Saturday,” said HS Dhillon, additional director general (law and order) of Punjab Police.
    “However, the combing operation continues,” he said.
    But soon after, loud explosions were heard from inside the Pathankot air force base, with sources suggesting the encounter was underway.
    A defence source said the terrorists from JeM, blamed for the December 2001 attack on Parliament that killed 11 people, had probably infiltrated about three days ago.

    Probably the same reason there aren't any shark attacks in Nebraska.

    Divide the summation of all incidents in provided link by 7 billion and multiply by 100. What figure do you get?

    Appeasement isn't what I'm suggesting.

    Which is part of the reason our crime rate is bad compared to other countries..... laws that protect criminals.

    Btw- He said "monsters" not "human beings" ;)

    A significantly higher figure than for any other ideology-driven terrorism in the last 25 years.
