These stats were obviously not compiled into this infographic to demonstrate to raped Yezidi women and gays thrown from rooftops that the threat of terrorism isn't a significant threat to them. Or that those same people should take some small consolation in the fact that Americans are far more likely to die from sunstroke than at the hands of ISIS.
