Depends on who or what you're talking about. Yeah it's not at the top of my list today, but it better be top priority for Secretary Jeh Johnson.
Many people are stuck in the 20th Century. Germany was a huge threat. Cold War threatened the whole Humanity. Nothing even remote exists now.
That is one of the threats greater then terrorism. Motorcycles is another problem much greater then terrorism.
It's blown WAY out of proportion. The right is desperately trying to hold their congressional seats so are employing fear. The American public is smarter than that.
Get back to us on that viewpoint, if its one of yours who gets brutally and unnecessarily murdered. You are correct though in that we have many other problems as well.
It is a VERY serious matter because of the potential of another 9-11 or worse. If that happens it wouldn't just be the lives and trillions of dollars lost, but massive lose of liberty and enourmous effect on our political system. - - - Updated - - - That is absurd logic. More people are killed by cancer than murder. Therefore no murderer should be imprisoned nor any laws against murder. That is your logic and it is nonsense. All you are doing is declaring those murdered and harmed by terrorism are irrelevant.
In my opinion the slogans of the Democratic Party and particularly the president are incredibly dangerous as so many of their minions chant right along with them. Note the poll and nearly half of those voting claim that 9-11 was a "minor" event, as was the California terrorist attack and the others since 9-11. The murder of Americans by foreign terrorists is a "minor" concern. How outrageous and dehumanizing can PC logic become?
When those insane, murdering ******* bastards start setting off chemical bombs and then, eventually, dirty-bombs in large American cities, then maybe people will understand that we are dealing with people who are commanded to force people to convert to their religion, or, KILL them.
It will be blamed on Bush. If we had not opposed Hussein taking over Kuwait and just let the blacks of North African be slaughtered it never would have happened. There is nothing bad that can happen that won't be blamed on Bush.
More people are killed in automobile accidents than by guns. Obviously all gun regulations should be abolished as there is nothing to be concerned about. Cancer and heart disease are the two biggest killers. Why do we waste money on other diseases or any safety laws whatsoever? There is no logic in your statement.
Except that his statement didn't mention any of the strawmen that you attached to it. He merely points out that terrorism kills fewer people than motorcycles. I would add that lightning strikes also kill more people than terrorism. Which is not to say that terrorism isn't a danger (before you start throwing out strawmen), it's just that it isn't very likely AT ALL to happen to any particular person, and so restricting the freedom of EVERY person for a .001% occurrence is definitely overhyping the danger. I'm not saying don't ride a motorcycle or go outside when it is raining either. Life entails risk, and getting worked up over one of 50 million ways to die is no way to live.
Of course Islamic Terrorism is hyped...and comparing it to accidents is rather disingenuous. Accident happen when people are doing things they have decided to do, lightning while golfing/hiking, car accident while driving...etc... People do not go out to enjoy a good slaughter by bomb and gunfire for Allah.
I really dont think so. I think the next world war will not be US vs China but will be US vs the muslim world.
July 1997, South Movement, "the path of Jihad and proper action": "Those who desire to face up to the Zionists conspiracies, intransigence, and aggressiveness must proceed towards the advance centers of capabilities in the greater Arab homeland and to the centers of the knowledge, honesty and sincerity with whole heartiness if the aim was to implement a serious plan to save others from their dilemma or to rely on those capable centers; well-known for their positions regarding the enemy, to gain precise concessions from it with justified maneuvers even if such centers including Baghdad not in agreement with those concerned, over the objectives and aims of the required maneuvers." (On the 29th anniversary of Iraq's national day (the 17th of July 1968 revolution). President Saddam Hussein made an important comprehensive and nation wide address) http://southmovement.alphalink.com.au/countries/Iraq/speech.htm One Iraq, Two Iraq, Three Iraq! Throughout 2000 the Taliban continued to host Usama Bin Ladin despite UN sanctions and international pressure to hand him over to stand trial in the United States or a third country. In a serious and ongoing dialogue with the Taliban, the United States repeatedly made clear to the Taliban that it would be held responsible for any terrorist attacks undertaken by Bin Ladin while he is in its territory. http://www.state.gov/j/ct/rls/crt/2000/2432.htm One Iraq, Two Iraq, Three Iraq! Never before has our nation enjoyed, at once, so much prosperity and social progress with so little internal crisis and so few external threats. (2000 State of the Union Address Thursday, January 27, 2000) War? We ain't got no war! We don't need no war! I don't have to show you any stinking war! {Bill Clinton 1998} So the Democratic plan is the same one, no war, call Jihad holy, then accuse us of treason if your guy says we are enjoying so few external threats, but ISIS is determined to attack, and we don't go to war. Got it.
