I'm very leery of stats on the number killed by terrorism.
For example, this study from the Guardian contradicts the FBI stats and claim that religiious extremism is now the leading cause of terrorism.

Do the people killed by ISYS in Iraq count as war fatalities or terrorist fatalities? Are those part of the Guardian study? are they not counted by the FBI?
Is it proper to count people killed by drug cartels as terrorism when their goal is selling more product and not pushing any political or religious ideology? Surely they are scaring the crap out of people, but isn't that a crime stat and not a terrorism stat?

If god was real he wouldn't need middle men to explain his wants or do his bidding.
