Okay, take the numbers posted earlier over the last 10 years. I don't understand your issue with the timeline. Lets go back 30-40 years and see how the numbers stack up why don't we? 9/11 was 16 years ago and the world has changed tremendously since that time, including increased anti-terror efforts from government organizations, increased security, etc. Using that one incident to spread fear and ignoring the exceedingly rare incidents that followed (largely due to its influence) is dumb. As is you ignoring Muslim deaths abroad at the hands of white supremacists and focusing only on the United States. Why don't we ignore all the Europe events now as well? They aren't happening in the USA so they must not involve real people or ideological principles either.
Well, it is true that using "since September 12th" is an arbitrary date. We should probably use something more relevant, like "since Windows XP was released", or "since 24 first broadcast". Or maybe something a little more modern, like "since the Motorolla Razr phone was first released".
