Are Islamic terrorists an "existential threat" to Western Civilization?

Clearly not. They are splintered renegade militias and we are a military superpower that has thwarted almost every single homeland attack plot since 911. There are 330 million Americans living in America and post 911 terrorist have killed around 40 so I think it's safe to say they are not an existential threat and despite what Lindsey graham said, they aren't going to "kill us all"

The quote means they are not a threat to our existence - any person can see that.

Why are you asking when you don't even know what the word "existential" means?

Yes! but as long as Obama's in office, I'm not too worried.

No.

Western civilization's excesses, however ,are.

I think they are to Europe, but not so much in the US, and as such, Europe should step-up their game in regards to stabilizing the Middle East.

Yes as long as our currency is based on the price of petroleum.

I think not. Most of them are in the east.

no i wouldn't say they are!

No more so than abortion clinic bombers.
