It appears terrorism is the greatest threat facing humanity now.
You are really mistaken. Terrorism is horrible, but it is nowhere near the greatest threat we're facing. How about some statistics for you:

These numbers are for American citizens I believe, but they even include deaths in Afghanistan and Iraq. The number will differ from country to country, but not that much. There are so many more things to worry about than terrorism. The governments wants you to be scared of terrorism, so they take more of your rights away and distract you from their corruption.
