Yes, in the US, and Canada, and EU.. Pretty much anywhere but the middle east in conflict areas and parts of Africa. These statistics say nothing of them, where clearly the danger is very real.

And I'm saying that this is entirely beside the point. As someone stated above, this simply marginalizes what is, almost certainly, the political problem of our lifetime.

You are missing the point. Its only speaking to the fear based on something less dangerous than weather related deaths, or a whole host of other more likely ways to be harmed in our daily life. It does not speak to the politics of the problem, but how the fear based media and political talking heads are spreading fear and fostering more bigotry and hatred on a while massive part of the worlds population based on irrational fear or fear of harm which is almost non existent to us in the west.
The fear is causing a massive increase in threats to Muslims, Mosques, and this is dangerous, much much more so than any possible outside terrorist threat.
