Because terrorist incidents in the 1970's aren't in people's minds today are they? *edit, let me rephrase. 1970's statistics are irrelevant to the point. People's concerns aren't rendered null because there may have been more terrorism a decade ago. The perceptions currently are that there is a very real threat of Islamic terrorism. This is not an unjustified fear. Islamic terrorist attacks in Europe are the highest they've ever been.

It could be but it's not the case. The link I've already posted refutes this.
