The World's Greatest Threat?

I want to encourage everyone to actually read the original article from the source site. It's not about radical Islam, that's just the lead-in.

Statistically, more people die in car crashes every year. I have a hard time wrapping my head around a "global threat" less threatening than my local interstate.

It's just silly rhetoric, nothing to take seriously. Nuclear weapons and environmental/economic collapse are the two biggest world threats right now.

Sparky, you can hear the same stuff coming from people on Jay Leno's Jaywalking portion of his show.

For all we know, the people answering those questions were conservatives and home schooled.

We must remember - the problem is not Islam, it's radicals. Painting all Muslims with a radical brush would be just as wrong as thinking all Christians are like David Koresh or Jim Jones.

I think all of you Liberals posting as usual should take this test. Oh wait you did here are the results.

all you idiots saying its all about dependence on oil is the root of all evil. well look at what happened when we had no oil. who were the ones raging hell when they couldn't drive their car to Starbucks. What these men are doing who are vastly more intelligent than you all, is keep our way of life going while trying to advance at the same time. if you don't want to be reliant on oil, STOP DRIVING YOUR CARS AND START WALKING EVERYWHERE AND SHUT THE HELL UP!
All you people on here know what to do is regurgitate what the media says and say you really think that way. Just wait until the media says that water is the root of all evil and we need to seek a way to create an independence on water for us humans to live peacefully.
Maybe some of you should read a book instead of watching ratings-based news.

Tony Blair is showing the true reason why he helped drag the world into two needless wars. This is the man's Achilles heel, the root of his insanity and why he will be forever labelled a fool.
The greatest threat to the world today are twits like him who are in power, who are afraid of their shadows, and will do exactly what big business tells them.

Dependence on oil is a far greater threat than Radical Islam. They would make no threats if they knew their oil did not make themselves vulnerable to attack, and if mid-East problems were settled. Christian oil-producing nations like Venezuela also see western civilization in the same light.

In my view the biggest threat to the world is ignorance.

Compared to Iran, N Korea, Russia and Wall Street I hardly think that radical islam as a movement it the greatest threat we face. Compared to water and food shortages it is a drop in the bucket.

I disagree. The greatest threat to the world: radically corrupt and insanely huge government.

that should be "religious extremists" in general
