Don't blame terrorists. Blame cars. 23:40 - Apr 10 with 1093 views

This sounds like something out of the Onion, but it's real.

Swedish newspaper Aftonbladet has a solution to the terrorism in their country: ban cars from Stockholm.

Interesting question. The answer is far fewer but still quite a lot. Narrowly- defined the number of deaths caused by terrorist attacks seems to be around 28,000 in 2015.

https://www.statista.com/statistics/202871/number-of-fatalities-by-terrorist-att

However, if you take deaths in armed conflicts (which often involve what we might consider to be terrorist groups) the figure calculated for 2014 was 180,000.

180k is laughable when you look at the atrocities of civil war in Africa.

It's almost as if darker skinned people don't really count for the statistics...

I wonder out of the million killed by cars, how many were intentional.

And I wonder how many killed by terrorists were intentional.

I'd suggest you only need to take a glance at the civil wars raging in Africa to see the 180k figure is laughable.

Unless you're telling me innocent civilians aren't being killed there?

Well intentional or not, the victims are still dead. I wouldn't think it makes much difference to the poor deceased tbh.
