Following the [X] I was wondering if we can build a model [Y] and some other data sources like [Z], etc ?

(X = Reichstag Fire, Y = of potential communists, Z = communist party affiliation) (X = 9/11 Attacks, Y = of terrorists, Z = mosque attendance)

I guess you could, but has history taught us nothing? If I am a communist, am I a threat to you? If I am a muslim, am I a threat to you? If I have a gun, am I a threat to you?

I don't own a gun or have a gun license, nor do I want to be the victim of gun violence (or violence of any kind, having experienced it), but I don't know what you would gain from this information if you are looking to profile a potential disaster.

thats why i used both causation and correlation. Correlation probably doesnt help here but until the model is built you can't really tell right?
not sure why i got a down vote for this
