What would help is stop making such a giant fuzz about it every time something happens. The media just "likes" these kinds of events because they make emotions run high. In reality terrorism accounts for less than 0.01% of premature deaths, yet nations spend magnitudes more surveilling their own citizens and fighting stupid wars (to no apparent avail) than they spend on fighting various other things that kill more than a thousand times (> 1000x) more people. Here's a nice chart visualizing the disproportional response: https://i1.wp.com/thinkbynumbers.org/wp-content/uploads/2008... |

Sure death by terrorism is only a blip. But the amount of money spent on spreading terrorist idealology is insane.
The problem is, our ally, Saudi Arabia, is spending Billions on Wahhabist Terrorism Propaganda aka Petro-Islam. In fact, money trails show KSA funded 90% of Wahhabist Terrorism Propoganda (Petro-Islam) around the world through mosques and literature.
From Wikipedia:
>Wahhabism has been accused of being "a source of global terrorism", inspiring the ideology of the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL), and for causing disunity in Muslim communities by labelling Muslims who disagreed with the Wahhabi definition of monotheism as apostates (takfir) and justifying their killing. It has also been criticized for the destruction of historic mazaars, mausoleums, and other Muslim and non-Muslim buildings and artifacts.
>Saudi Arabia is called the "cradle of Wahhabist Terrorism". In fact, Saudi Arabia funded an estimated "90% of the expenses of the entire faith [wahhabism]", throughout the Muslim World, according to journalist Dawood al-Shirian.
>It extended to young and old, from children's madrasas to high-level scholarship. This spending has done much to overwhelm less strict local interpretations of Islam, according to observers like Dawood al-Shirian and Lee Kuan Yew, and has caused the Saudi interpretation (sometimes called "petro-Islam") to be perceived as the correct interpretation – or the "gold standard" of Islam – in many Muslims' minds.
>The Salafi movement is often described as being synonymous with Wahhabism.
