Yes.  This is the "9/11" math.  Akin to the fanous
"gambler's fallacy".

There are 1,500,000,000 Muslims.  Give or take.  19 guys perform an
atrocity and they're all Muslims.

Therefore the 1,499,999,981 remaining Muslims are a serious threat.

Hmmm.

Anyone counted the deaths caused by "Christian" terrorists in the
last 30 years?
