I addressed your fears of Islamic terrorism back in post #70 of this thread, you complaining about my post afterward doesn't negate anything. The fact still remains that your fears of Islamic terrorism should make up approximately 0.02% of your overall fear of another human being intentionally ending your life. However, your fears seem to go far beyond what the actual threat of Islamic terrorism is in the US, and extend into being fearful of Muslim people in general. It is not rational

...thanks again for proving my point .

You didn't make any point, I addressed your position as being one of fear and you complained about it afterwards. To deny my statement is to deny the very definition of fear

...your definition does not apply to me . You are trying to transfer your emotions onto other people . When I discuss radical Islam I am about as emotionally detached as a person can be and still be awake .

Well you certainly cannot call your position of thought a rational position, given the actual level of danger and your actual level of concern

...my positional is rational , you simply don't appreciate the actual threat .

Did you miss the story today that the Brussels bombers were first planning an attack on a nuclear power plant ? Or did you hear about it but write it off as fear ?

The likelihood of that actually happening are not great (hence why it wasn't attempted)

In actuality the Mexican drug cartels are a greater force than the most wealthy terrorist organizations in the world. ISIS is the wealthiest terrorist organization in the world with a net worth of about 2 Billion overall, the drug cartels in Mexico bring in a revenue of approximately 50 billion dollars on a good year, around 30 billion when they're having a bad year. The Sinaloa cartel alone has around 100,000 members, which is around double the number of members that ISIS has worldwide

The fact of the matter is ISIS isn't a serious threat to western nations so much as they are the war torn regions of Iraq, Syria, and Libya. Hence why they were able to capture Iraq's second largest city with just 700 fighters.

In Europe people are more likely to die from terrorist attacks conducted by ethno-nationalist organization than religiously motivated attacks http://www.aljazeera.com/indepth/opinion/2011/07/201172482841769458.html


As for the threat of Belgium's power plant, the necessary precautions should be taken, and their facilities should be secured by the local authorities. There was a similar threat regarding a dam in LA over a decade ago, additional security measurements were made around the dam, and in the end that was all that was necessary. Again the actual likelihood of such an attack being successful are not great

...again , you do not understand the threat . People who desire to sabotage a nuclear power plant are capable of anything .

uhh.. no they are not capable of anything.. in reality they weren't even capable of attacking that power plant

Having the desire to do something does not make you capable of doing said thing. They probably desire having a navy and air force, but in reality that is beyond their capability. The Mexican cartels have greater capabilities than the richest and most powerful terrorist organisations in the world. The bigger issue at hand is the instability of the regions in Iraq, Syria, and Libya.. these regions need to regain the ability to defend themselves again

...you keep trying to deflect but one day in the near future radical Islam will pull off a terror attack that even gets your attention .
