The chance of being killed in a terrorist attack, he said, is 1 in 80,000 over a lifetime.

That ‘1 in 80,000 chance of being killed in a terrorist attack’ stat is patently ridiculous to begin with!

Yet somehow this idiot thinks it’s a convincing argument.

Uh-huh. And what are the chances of "being killed in a terrorist [sic] attack", say, in New York, on the 4th of July, in Times Square, Mr. Moslem?

So I am more likely to be killed by a terrorist than win the lottery. I don’t like those odds either. A good reason to keep up the war on terror and Islam. Thanks for helping me decide Ahmed.

Unless, of course, you’re a suicide bomber dying for Islamic Jihad.

How about they stop being uncivilized thugs and get that down to 0 in 80,000.

Nah, that be the right thing to do...
