All these cities around the world. In July 2016 alone. And hey. We aren't even half-way through the month. 1,053 confirmed deaths and injuries.

How many did you know about?
How many does it take before we realize the poison that has been unleashed on the world in the form of the fanatic mind?
How much blood do we need to raze upon the earth before we can see reason?

I was going to write out every attack from 2016, but just getting through the list for this month was enough to make me physically ill.
