Topic: 'Unprecedented' rise in deaths from terrorism (Read 1175 times)
They say that when some people fall from the top of skyscrapers, they die before they hit the ground... from fright. So, I guess terror could do it.
Why not Venezuela? Cuba? Uganda? The Grand Bahamas?
The ideal situation will be a nuke-free world. Why do we need nuclear weapons? Countries like the United States and Russia are in the possession of non-nuclear explosive devices such as MOABs and FOABs, which can cause damage similar to the nuclear bomb. Would the American politicians ever agree to a nuke-free world?
If it is confirmed that Iran has A-bomb capabilities, Iran will cease to exist before they get to use their A-bomb. The more stable nations of the world will put an end to them. 
If Israel can have the nuclear bomb, then why not Iran? Also, unstable countries such as Pakistan are having dozens of nukes in their possession and the Americans have no issue with it. And in my opinion, the Americans don't have the right to dictate to any country to get rid of its nukes, when they themselves are having the largest number of nuclear weapons in the world.

BC: How long it lasts depends on whether the places out of which really big, effective terrorist groups are operating remain essentially stateless. The territories in Pakistan and the border area with Afghanistan are not part of a centralized state. Robert Kaplan has written tons of books about what’s going on in the modern world, and if you read The Ends of the Earth and these books that say we are de facto, no matter what the laws say, becoming nations of mega-city-states full of really poor, angry, uneducated, and highly vulnerable people, all over the world, we would have a lot of slumdog millionaires. If that’s right, then terror — meaning killing and robbery and coercion by people who do not have state authority and go beyond national borders — could be around for a very long time. On the other hand, terrorism needs both anxiety and opportunity to flourish. So one of the things that the United States and others ought to be doing is trying to help the nation-state adjust to the realities of the 21st century and then succeed.

The former president tells Foreign Policy what to read, who to watch, and why there really is a chance of Middle East peace in 2010.

terror — meaning killing and robbery and coercion by people who do not have state authority and go beyond national borders
Just wanted to bump it for reference. It´s always good to have the definition from the horse´s mouth in these terror ridden times.
LOL, the state can rape, slaughter, torture and it's JUST FINE GUYS!!
Right! It is the people in or behind the governments that are the terrorists. If they were gone, there would be reasonable peace for the average citizens of the world.
In America it's things like the Internet and other forms of communication that are only bringing to light the deaths from terrorists - cops and government - that have been going on for decades. There really isn't an increase in America.
Americans believes this was the first grassroot event to openly engage in this kind of vital dialogue on most dangerous and important issue for our generation. If Iran get nuclear bomb It ll not need a large army to cause unimaginable destruction of deathIf it is confirmed that Iran has A-bomb capabilities, Iran will cease to exist before they get to use their A-bomb. The more stable nations of the world will put an end to them.

Average citizens trust their government. They are even admonished by various religions to trust their government. Terrorists know this. So, they get into government so they can terrorize the unsuspecting citizens. It is governments that basically are the terrorists. If we didn't have governments this way, we would have a reasonably peaceful world.
The world seems to be in a state of chaos in these times, and it seems that it is just the way they want it..
Some absolutely atrocious political decisions are leading to more and more of this happening, I wonder what there true intentions are???

""...A total of 32,658 people were killed by terrorists around the world in 2014..."". No mention of what part was done by muslim terrorists. Why not? Because telling us would show immediately that muslim terrorists murdered more people than all other terrorists in the world combined.
Why would their religion matter? A terrotist is still a terrorist. I do agree that a lot of terrorist have the religion of the islam but if they say it like you're saying it, it would aggravate a lot people mentioning the religion and it would intend that all muslims are terrorist, which is not true.
Actually, ALL Muslims ARE terrorists... if they want to be faithful to their religion as it is written. The thing is that they don't KNOW that they are terrorists.
When they find out that they are terrorists, they will either stop being Muslims, or they will enact the terrorist part. When they do the terrorist part, they will ultimately be destroyed, even though they make are painful for a little while.

But that number is way off. It doesn't include - can't include - all the citizens of the various countries killed off by their own terrorist governments. Like all the unreported murders done by terrorist cops in America.

What I posted is just a snippet from The Telegraph. I guess those who are interested can get all the breakdown at the website of the institution.

OK, thanks. I see so much that I need to check and then I forget it but this your post is in a word document now and glaring at me from the desktop so I´ll get to it.
Basically, the whole thing amounts to this. The foundational law in America has to do with someone harming another person or damaging his property. If a corporate body attacks a human being in some way, the corporate body loses. The basic law of America is man vs. man.
That simple.
'Unprecedented' rise in deaths from terrorism
The number of people killed globally in terrorist attacks jumped 80 percent last year to the highest level ever recorded, the Institute for Economics and Peace said on Tuesday.
The Global Terrorism Index found that 32,658 people were killed by terrorists in 2014, up from the 18,111 fatalities of the previous year, the largest increase on record.
The study defines terrorism as "the threatened or actual use of illegal force and violence by a non-state actor to attain a political, economic, religious, or social goal through fear, coercion, or intimidation".
Nigeria-based Boko Haram and the Islamic State group were responsible for more than half of the deaths, according to the study, which measures attacks, deaths and damage from terror attacks in 162 countries.
"Terrorism is gaining momentum at an unprecedented pace," said Steve Killelea, the executive chairman of the Institute of Economics and Peace, which produces the study.

Yeah, and "the threatened or actual use of illegal force and violence by a state actor to attain a political, economic, religious, or social goal through fear, coercion, or intimidation" is the exact opposite of course.

There is Illegal group ISIS and other doing this bomb blasts and everything. But few days before one of Australian minister said this attacks are making International politicians to make their base stronger and stronger. Don't predict anything without handfull of evidence. may be U.S. and France may part in that.
Yeah, yeah that´s illegal. We know that. But there´s tons of other things happening and have been taking place well forever? I mean; there have been freedom fighters slaughtering people in the name of democracy and that was OK because the people that ran those freedom fighters said so. Later they became terrorists and killed our people which obviously wasn´t OK. It seems quite murky, truth to be rold. There are many angles. Of course I realize that it´s kind of unfair to mention these things because as we all know corruption and lackadaisical interpretation of the law is the absolutely last things that come to mind as the government is concerned, being such paragons of integrity and transparency and truthfulness that their record shows them to be. Still, those definitions seem a bit unclear.
