I'm not afraid of terrorism, are you?

If you look at the number of deaths, there are just so many larger problems that we could proportionally be using our resources to fight.

You are right to point out the economic cost and diverted resources of a "War on Terror." At the same time, death by terrorism is not the only metric. There are serious problems with making accommodations to Islamic cultures in the name of religious tolerance like recognizing parallel legal systems (sharia courts), prosecuting critics of Islam as hate-speech (Mark Steyn), the self-censorship by politically correct media (Danish cartoons). To my mind, its all part of the same problem.

Well see, this is where you drift from talking about terrorism to talking about Islam in general. Almost nobody is a bigger critic of Islam then me. If you read my opening post you see I distinguish between the two and I think they should be distinguished between. The 'war on terror' isn't a war on radical Islam. However secularism, free speech and liberty is the best way to fight radical Islam.
