"More Americans die from accidents in the bathtubs than from attacks by terrorists. Should we then care so much more -- and spend so much more -- to prevent terrorist attacks than bathtub mishaps? We think so. The reason is simply human nature. And the terrorist attack last month in Paris, on the eve of the critical French elections, showed once again that human nature is, in many ways, unchanging."

Spel chec
That may be true but my bathtub doesn’t demand I put my daughters in a sack nor does it demand I abstain from pork or drink ethanol. It doesn’t demand I ‘submit’ but allows me to have free will and make my own decisions.
Just another variation of the Reductio Ad Absurdum argument.
If I take a Bath, I choose to take a Bath.
I don’t choose to be murdered by a Muzzie Bastard.
I guess if you exclude the 2900+ that died on 9/11 there might be some truth in that statement.
Bathtubs can actually save you if a muslim plants a bomb on your toilet. Aka lethal weapon 2.
ALL Muslims are commanded by their HOLY KORAN to kill you if you do NOT convert to Islam.
Along the way, they can rape infidel women and children, they can enslave them too. And they can beat their wives. It's all in their Koran. The more that are here in the west, the more terrorist attacks. It is what Muslims do.
The reason this jerk off wrote this article is to make the liberals think that Muslim terrorists are rare. In fact, the more there are, the more likely even the peaceful ones will join in the joy of killing infidels.
In the area of accidents
More people die in bathtub accidents than in gun accidents. So, what’s the big deal about gun control? Shouldn’t the focus be on bathtub control?
According to the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission, between 2006 and 2010 a total of 303 children under age 5 years old drown in just bathtubs (see page 8). If you include bathtubs used in conjunction with other products (infant bath seats placed in bathtubs), there is a total of 346 children under age 5 years old who drown. Since these deaths wouldnt have occurred without a full-size bathtub, it seems as if they should also be included in the total.
By contrast, over that same period, the Centers for Disease Control finds that there were 291 children under age 15 and 94 children under 5 who died from accidental gun shots.
Now, with regard to terrorism:
From 2001 to 2016, 3,114 Americans have been killed by Muslim terrorists (accumulating the deaths reporting by Religion of Peace). This is TEN TIMES MORE THAN the number of children who died in bathtub accidents over the same period.
Worldwide, 206,000 people have been killed, and another 290,000 wounded by Muslim terrorists. Many of these people lived in countries where the mass of people don’t even have bathtubs.
CNN is not merely fake. It is vile and depraved. Totally indifferent to the deaths of hundreds of thousands of human beings, most of them Muslims, at the hands of Muslim terrorists. This is why Trump is a hero to most Muslims in the world. We are all in this together!
CNN would excuse the Killing Fields of Cambodia, the Gulag of Soviet Russia, and the Holocaust of Nazi Germany if they thought that would buy them a few more years of not being targeted.
Bathtubs Launch Assult on Western Civilization!!!
More die in bathtubs than in terrorism
I can’t find a single case anywhere of a bathtub murdering an innocent American citizen, or anyone else.???
There are also more bathtub drownings of children than accidental gun deaths, but libs don’t use that in headlines to fight against gun control!
Bathtubs do not have volition, terrorists do.
Watch out for those deadly bathtubs. They’ll sneak up on you and chop your head off.
Lol did you read the article? The second sentence in the headline is “It’s still worth spending billions to fight it”. The article is strongly in favor of continued antiterrorism efforts.
There is a difference between accidents and crimes.
IF bathtub accidents are the relevant cut off point, THEN, gun accidents would be cut-off. But nobody is advocating an end to gun control. Certainly not liberals.
IN FACT, the number of Americans killed by terrorists is TEN TIMES the number killed in bathtub accidents.
CNN is speaking to liberals, not to intelligent people. It has the problem of justifying why billions of dollars should be spent on the military as opposed to other priorities such as transgender medical procedures. Once people are dead, they don’t need government services, so killing people is a good thing. It’s like abortion and euthanasia. These are the crazy ways that liberals think.
With regard to crime and especially organized crime, those who would commit murder MUST BE STOPPED. We cannot allow murdering others to become acceptable. Life would become anarchy.
Based on the number of mass murderers identified by Wikipedia, 1 out of about 100 million non-Muslims succumbs to murderous rampage. Based on the figures compiled by Religion of Peace, 4 out of 100,000 Muslims do. Both figures are tiny, tiny figures. but the impact of 4 out of 100,000 Muslims succumbing to murderous rampages due to the ideology of Islamic Extremism cannot be tolerated.
Not only will tens of thousands of people (mostly innocent Muslims) continue to be killed, but if governments tolerate terrorism, there will be vigilante justice. Gangs will spontaneously arise. We might suppose that 4 out of 100,000 non-Muslims will engage in terrorism. Then, instead of having one or two incidents of non-Muslims doing something like that despicable man did in South Carolina - and why is he still breathing! - we’ll have incidents like that occurring regularly. During the height of the Klan, we had 100 hangings per year. Conservatives are not utopians. We recognize the ugliness that is in mankind.
Our answer to hate and violence, terrorism and anarchy, isn’t wishful thinking, or thinking about how much money do we have in the budget to subsidize the Piss Christ. It is to spend as much money as needed, to establish law and order. The problem with Islamic extremism, however, is not really our problem. While we are part of the world and should be willing to be part of the solution, the problem is mostly of the majority Muslim countries.
Here's one of them:
He looks quite special
It is where these people go intellectually, when they have nowhere else to go.
They don’t see any difference at all between a man being murdered by having his throat cut, and a man falling asleep in a bathtub and drowning.
It is why no rational, and thinking people take them seriously in any matter.
