ISIS attack in Bangladesh

ISIS may be overplaying their hand. They do this so often, it is just becoming background noise.

It's just ISIS being ISIS. Those silly Muslims, always roughhousing like that. What you gonna do?
 
Camouflaging an attack on a political enemy within the guise of caring about human tragedy. Well done.

This makes no sense.

You used a lot of adjectives though, so at least you got that going for you.

My point is that there are still many people on this board that continue to propose that ISIS/radical Islam is less of a problem than babies with guns, when in fact ISIS/radical Islam is the absolute most important issue of our current time.

I agree with MDMH that babies with guns pose a far greater threat than ISIS ever could.

Specifically who are they?
 
"Consider, for instance, that since the attacks of Sept. 11, 2001, Americans have been no more likely to die at the hands of terrorists than being crushed to death by unstable televisions and furniture. Meanwhile, in the time it has taken you to read until this point, at least one American has died from a heart attack. Within the hour, a fellow citizen will have died from skin cancer. Roughly five minutes after that, a military veteran will commit suicide. And by the time you turn the lights off to sleep this evening, somewhere around 100 Americans will have died throughout the day in vehicular accidents – the equivalent of “a plane full of people crashing, killing everyone on board, every single day.”

"Over the past year, new studies and media reports have documented America’s extraordinary number of child-involved shootings. These occur when a child happens upon a gun, or is left alone with one, and ends up shooting themselves or another person. Such disasters result in hundreds of child fatalities and have made American children nine times more likely to die in gun accidents than children anywhere else in the developed world.

"In America, more preschoolers are shot dead each year (82 in 2013) than police officers are in the line of duty (27 in 2013), according to figures from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and the FBI"

"Claim: Toddlers killed more Americans than terrorists in 2015.

True

Origin:On 16 December 2015 the Facebook page "Go Left Forever" published the above-reproduced meme holding that in 2015, toddlers were responsible for the deaths of more Americans than "foreign terrorists." The claim appeared widely in various forms of media, and its primary source being a 14 October 2015 Washington Post "Wonkblog" article that culled statistics from a manual search of news reports."

"According to the Washington Post, our nation's nurseries are housing more than just unbearable levels of cuteness: Twenty-three people have been shot by toddlers in the U.S. since the start of 2016 — exactly 23 more than have been shot by Muslim terrorists over the same period."

In the vast majority of cases, the children accidentally shoot themselves. That's happened 18 times this year, and in nine of those cases the children died of their wounds.

Too bad we can't stop all the people who end up being unbelievably shitty parents from breeding. Are you arguing the threat posed by toddlers with guns to the American public is greater than that posed by Muslim terrorists?

I'm not arguing anything. I'm stating that 23 Americans have died from toddler + gun related incidents and none have died from Muslim terrorist + gun related incidents over the same period of time. How you define threat is up to you.

If I was in Bangladesh or Turkey, I'd be more worried about Muslim terrorists than I am about idiots with guns.

Honest question, do people realize that either ISIS isn't coordinating attacks in the US or the Obama administration has been very successful stopping such attacks?

You seem to be the least informed poster on this board. You make ridiculous assumptions and leaps almost daily. Secretaries of State and dead ambassadors, your misunderstanding of the welfare state, and now your belief that ISIS is the greatest threat of our time.

Clinton's problems aren't Benghazi and email, they are her slobbering of banks and Wall Street, her chicken hawk foreign policy, and her personality.

Does that make more sense?

And come on, firm clutch and flimsy grasp in the same sentence is pretty good

Why bother posting those statistics in response to my comment if that's not the argument you're making? There were also probably more injuries and deaths from people riding mopeds over the same period. And more deaths from trampolines. You could point to any number of statistics where there were more injuries and deaths. But I'm not going to post those statistics because they have nothing to do with the threat posed by Muslim terrorists. In fact, the only reason I would post them is if I wanted to try and downplay the threat posed by Islamic terrorism.

Sarcasm aside, American babies with guns is a problem that we are responsible for and can actually prevent. Americans can cry about ISIS, but they can't do shit about it. How and why should I trust any American who would rather spend billions and send thousands of American soldiers to die in the middle east to solve a problem like Maria, when they won't lift a fucking finger to prevent accidental gun deaths here at home.
