The population of Paris (2.2million) is only 0.003% of the world population; the total number of people killed in terrorist attacks in the last 12 months is about 40000 globally, meaning the deaths in Paris only comprise 0.3% of terror deaths in the year. That means, excluding other incidents (Charlie Hebdo, etc.), they are about 100x worse off in terms of terrorism than the rest of us right now.Another way to contemplate this of which I am sure will not be looked kindly on but is never the less true are percentages. How many attackers are there believed to be at this time? 10..20...30... The last I looked the worlds Muslim (those proclaimed to follow the faith) was estimated to be 1.2 Billion. If true, 30 out of a billion is such an infinitesimal amount its hardly worth mentioning. Except for the fact they killed or injured 200 or so people out of 7 Billion....
Here again we are faced with the news and the single house fire reported on and fed to an entire nation. In reality though, in relation to the worlds population this is such a small event. More so though is the small percentage these radical muslims represent of the Muslim world. We cant say all Muslims are to blame when .0000001 or something of them are the ones committing these atrocities.
Anyway, something to think about.

If you want to minimise things so stupidly, you could even say that since 55million people die each year, those who died in the Paris attack only figure at about 0.0002% of annual deaths.
Anyhow, what was the point of your idiotic statistics... that what happened wasn't important/significant? What was the point?
Are Muslims/Islam the wimpy kid on the playground who is an easy target to single out for a beating? I think so.
Big news events like the Paris attacks often lead to some incorrect headlines. We're keeping track of them, and will update this list as needed.
I love this. NPR..."Public radio" mind you that is one of the most liberal leaning news reporting outlets available chooses to report stories that turned out not to be true sand cites only nonliberal specific outlets. How nice of NPR.

Hey, I just posts 'em as I finds 'em. Plus it fuels the political fire that is the burning soul of this thread. If I find a more non-biased article I shall post it.
Related to this post only, but not the thread; just a fun FYI chart about trusted news outlets. Do not reply to this.
