Have 3,000 people won Powerball since 9/11?

"You have a much better chance of death by driving a car" True, which is why there are all kinds of limitations on what kind of car you can drive.

"a shark attack "

I think far more people are killed by jihdists than sharks, Nebe...

No one has ever said that death by jihadst is a common cause of death. So I have no idea what point you and Spence are trying to disprove. One person killed by jihad, though, is too many. And jihadists, unlike cars or lightning, are able to plot ways to kill us, it's not random chance, Correct? A car doesn't sit in your driveway scheming to kill you. So to me, it's common sense to take that into account. If you disagree, I think that says a lot more about you than it does about me.
