What the media and government doesn't want you to know

There have been 165 terrorist attacks between 1970 and 2013 in the world.
There have been 12 terrorist attacks in Europe over these 43 years.

There have been 1115 Europeans killed during the same period.
There have been over 4000 Europeans injured during the same period.

Thats 119 on average injured or killed per year in Europe at the hands of these attacks.

That includes 26 killed per year on average in Europe.
(The equivalent of a Premier League submitted squad and the manager being killed)

The UK makes up 25% of the terrorist attacks in Europe based on trends. (3/12)
London x 2, Glasgow

26 Europeans killed on average and 50 European countries.

Thats a 0.52% chance that a European will be killed at the hands of these attacks.
In fractional format that is 52/10000 so thats a 1 in 192 chance (192/1) of a European being killed.

There is more chance of a European being killed next year by a terrorist attack than there is some horses winning the Grand National. ( Ninetieth Minute - 237/1 for example)

Absolutely disgusting, but of course, they dont want to tell you that.

Have some of these events not been reported on the media or do you mean nobody takes the time to put them all together as an aggregate?

Some get very little media coverage here and none put together so the real figures can be broken down. When its all put together it paints a truly horrifying picture.

So you are counting Russia as part of Europe?

Or Israel?

Bollocks, don't underestimate terroism. In Northern Ireland alone.........

In the 38-year Operation Banner, which ended in 2007, 763 servicemen and women were killed as a direct result of terrorism. It is estimated that the true total, including car crashes, suicides and friendly fire, stands at more than 1,300. More than 6,000 were wounded, some of them permanently disabled.

At the height of the Troubles in 1972 there were 27,000 British troops based in Ulster compared to 8,000 in Afghanistan and 4,000 in Iraq today. It was also the worst year for casualties with 102 soldiers killed.

He means islam related attacks

Whatever the terrorist represents, one life lost to them, is one too many.
Ask the relatives and loved ones of the victims.
One thing is for sure, the attacks are on the increase.
Wonder what the figures will be in ten years time?
You cannot defend terrorism.

Islam related attacks - look at the source

So you are counting Russia as part of Europe?

Or Israel?

All the Russia related attacks happened in the European part of Russia, the West.

The most ridiculous quote in the history of the Internet

You clearly dont use the internet much then. Its true. The numbers dont lie and there's the deaths there right there for you to see. Its in black and white right there for you.

Every one of those lives lost is a disgrace and none should have happened. Weak governments who are spineless have refused to protect the people of Europe. Weak politicians have refused to protect the people of the UK. Just face the music and accept the reality of the situation.

Because of the average frequency of the attacks and because of the volume of people killed on average in these attacks thats the truth of the matter.

So you're really telling us that every person in Europe has less than a 200/1 chance of being involved in a terrorist attack?

This is the most extreme propaganda I've read this week and you should be ashamed of yourself for perpetuating this ridiculous myth

It'll be in the millions

You've got more chance of being killed by a lightning bolt

You've misunderstood CityGent. You personally, its in the millions, I agree. The odds of a European, at random, not you selectively, but a random European being killed is at those odds.

The odds of you personally being killed are higher than your odds of winning the lottery but the odds of someone, any random person in Europe, falling victim to an attack is that low.

God bless the governments eh?

If we lived in the Middle East, we'd probably have a 10/1 shot dangling over our heads

Every time a soldier is shot at in Afgan is a terrorist attack.
Every time an IED is laid is a terroist attack.
Happens on a daily basis.
165 attacks my arse!

Yes, it's over there, but it would be far higher here if we don't fight the terrorist in their back yard.
