"As a practical matter, the current hysteria needs guidance, not a sense of proportion along the lines of what the New York Times just mentioned in passing: "The death toll from jihadist terrorism on American soil since the Sept. 11 attacks -- 45 people -- is about the same as the 48 killed in terrorist attacks motivated by white supremacist and other right-wing extremist ideologies.... And both tolls are tiny compared with the tally of conventional murders, more than 200,000 over the same period.""
7,397 people were killed in Chicago during that same time period.

Houston had 3,614 murders from 2001-2013.
So if you want to worry about getting killed, worry about crazy cops, friends, family member, and neighbors killing uoi instead of nutty muslim terrorists.
Um, left out gang bangers . . . .
Gang bangers are your crazy cops, family, friends, and neighbors.
