A random shooting by a US crazy, which I read about in a tiny column in the back of the paper, killed just under half as many people as the Manchester bombing. It went almost completely unremarked.

People say Islamophobia is rational because of terrorism but you are far more statistically likely to be killed by a bunch of extremely low-probability freak events including asteroid strikes and bicycle accidents. Now watch me cower in fear of asteroids and bicycles.

idk when you're talking about "islamophobic" policymaking rather than an individual rational basis your analogy kind of falls apart.

I'll buy bicycle accidents, since people ride bikes a lot, but I'm quite skeptical that more people are killed by asteroids than terrorism.

WASHINGTON, May 26, 2017 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- The Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) today called on President Trump to speak out personally against rising bigotry and acts of racial violence in America targeting Muslims and other minority groups after two people were stabbed to death in Oregon when they reportedly tried to intervene as a man yelled racist and Islamophobic slurs at two young Muslim women, one of whom wore an Islamic head scarf, or hijab.

are they gonna speak out against their insane blood monger religion or....?

Yeah, I don't know either.

quote:

In fact, according to the National History Museum in London, there are actually no recorded human deaths by a meteorite fall. Ever.
That would make the calculation entirely based on hypothetical impacts, which doesn't seem entirely appropriate to compare to those from actual deaths.

If you don't give a poo poo about terrorism you should give even less of a poo poo about the death penalty.

Thanks for the chart, now I have the perfect argument whenever someone pulls out stats like that lmao.
