WHAT'S THE BIGGEST THREAT TO LIFE FACING THE WEST? IT'S PROBABLY NOT WHAT YOU THINK ...


If you think Islamic terrorism is the biggest threat to life in America you are wrong. Sure, terrorist acts are sensational, and cause a good deal of drama for those inclined to embrace fear as a working mentality. But it's not the #1 threat to your life. Not by a long shot ..




Let's emphasize a couple of points made in the clip above. In the United States you are about 12,000 times more likely to die from a gun related incident than you are from a Muslim related act of terror. Worse, a child with a gun is a bigger threat to life than a Muslim terrorist. So, yeah, gun violence in America - as I've pointed out elsewhere - is a greater threat to innocent life in America than Muslim terrorism.

So, if you and your friends want to believe terrorism is the biggest threat to life in America go ahead and believe what you want. But you are wrong, big time ...

Now you just need to ask yourself, as the clip above points out, Who benefits from creating this culture of fear?
