Guided by talking heads, American armchair warriors spout vitriol, increasingly calling to either treat Muslims like Jews in the Third Reich or simply bomb them into oblivion โ and their cognitive dissonance is glaring. These contradictions are evident not least in the paralyzing fear so many 'Mericans feel toward Muslims who courageously call for soldiers to do their bidding in the Middle East. Their crippling fear of Islamic terror, itself, is cloaked in contradiction.I am not terrified of the terrorists; i.e., I am not, myself, terrorized. Rather, I am terrified of the terrorized; terrified of the bovine masses who are so easily manipulated by terrorists, governments, and the terror-amplifying media into allowing our country to slip toward totalitarianism and total war. - Dan Sanchez
According to an analysis by the New America Foundation, Islamic terror attacks in the United States have led to the deaths of 45 people since 9/11. While 45 deaths is 45 too many, the dizzying fear of Islamic extremism currently sweeping the nation is objectively overblown.
Considering Islamic terror killing an average of 3.2 Americans per year (45 deaths divided by 14 years) since late 2001, here are ten causes of death more worthy of their fear:
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.
Comment: The populations of Western nations have been whipped into a frenzied fear of Muslims. These fears are being fueled by their governments and the subservient media in order to more closely control them and to sow discontent and divisions within society. All of which is being done to keep people from realizing that their real enemies are psychopaths who have risen to the top and who will do whatever it takes to stay in control. For any hope of change, people need to understand the phenomenon of psychopathy so they can unite against this real menace, rather than destroying each other and the world.
