It would appear you are not safe in any large city these days. What a sad state of affairs.

Re: Terrorist attack in Barcelona
I'd argue it's not safe anywhere, not just major cities.
Do you realise more people die everyday in automobile accidents than have died in the entire history of terrorism? Having said that, it is indeed sad and terrifying that people can be led to commit such despicable acts. |

'Having said that, it is indeed sad and terrifying that people can be led to commit such despicable acts".
It's hardly surprising that radical Muslims commit these atrocities when the Quran implores them to slaughter the infidel on numerous occasions. Eg Sura (chapter 8:39; 9:5). What Islam needs is a Reformation and re-thinking of the violent verses; doubt it'll happen though. |

Frankly, I don't see it as a problem with one religion or another, it's a problem of radicals vs. moderates. |

Yet, by the numbers alone, the percentage of Christians who've engage in acts of religious violence far outnumber those of Muslims.

The nutters in Charlottesville also use distorted religious beliefs to justify their philosophies. |

Very sad to hear and I think we should just stop mentioning religion here. In reality it has nothing to do with religion, or let's stay most people who kill just have a so called religion on paper but it has nothing to do with that.

It would be interesting to know on what figures or facts you base the above assertion.
The point is, that while it's tragic that some feel the need to conduct these atrocities, the fact remains that the very reason a handful occasionally die in terror events is to achieve sensational headlines in all media worldwide to promote their cause. It works. It's natural to feel afraid. That's the very purpose of terrorism. But the fact remains, you're far more likely to die or be injured in your daily commute than in a terrorist incident. Anywhere. |
