A probability exercise:

Let’s use different colored marbles to represent the various religions of the world. We’ll use 10 green marbles to represent Jews, 10 black ones for Muslims, 10 blue ones for Christians, etc., using a total of 10 different colors to represent the world’s 10 major religions.
Put all 100 marbles in a fishbowl and mix them up.

Now, take out the 10 green marbles that represent Jews and put them into a smaller fishbowl. From that smaller fishbowl, choose 4 marbles at RANDOM. Guess what—they are all green, representing the 4 Jews who were RANDOMLY killed inside a strictly Kosher, Orthodox Jewish market in France. Just some green marbles who happened to be in the wrong place at the wrong time.

More like 10 marbles in a bowl of over 5000. Blindfolded, you’d likely have to reach into the bowl on the order of 500 times to find one of them. The world’s obsession with such a small “random” percentage of its population is remarkable.
