In any case, whole groups of innocent people will be made to suffer for the madness of a few.
Have not recently heard the reports of mass furniture deaths making the news recently. These mad radicalised Muslims seem to be more and more plentiful. When do you expect the next mass furniture killing and when do you expect the next terror attack in the news? I am betting the next radicalised Muslim extremist attack comes way sooner.
Your just not looking hard enough
Americans Are as Likely to Be Killed by Their Own Furniture as by Terrorism
... According to the report, the number of U.S. citizens who died in terrorist attacks increased by two between 2010 and 2011; overall, a comparable number of Americans are crushed to death by their televisions or furniture each year. This is not to diminish the real--albeit shrinking--threat of terrorism, or to minimize the loss and suffering of the 13,000 killed and over 45,000 injured around the world. For Americans, however, it should emphasize that an irrational fear of terrorism is both unwarranted and a poor basis for public policy decisions.

And it seems the Swedes are behind at least part of it no wonder Odeon has been evasive
After 3 Deaths, Ikea Recalls Millions of Dangerous Dressers
Ikea has issued a recall for at least 29 million chests and dressers that can easily tip over onto children, injuring or killing them, NBC News confirmed.
The furniture giant said Monday that after the three deaths of three children it is no longer selling its "Malm" series products because they "could be a danger," Ikea USA president Lars Peterson told NBC News.

I would love to know what kind of edgy furniture jokes Odeon could make to the families of the Paris Attacks or London Bombings or 9/11 or what have you. Maybe its all in the delivery.
Making light of things is a way some people deal with such events but I am sure you know that. You are the one who related it to a furniture attack I only built on that. By the way here are some more stats from a life insurance web site
The chances of being killed in a terrorist attack are about 1 in 20 million. A person is as likely to be killed by his or her own furniture, and more likely to die in a car accident, drown in a bathtub, or in a building fire than from a terrorist attack.

No, no I get it.
I have a suspicion that the risk of a terrorist attack in France at the moment is substantially higher and there is a reason. What may only be a hundred casualties every 6 months or so in US a country of 320 million. This stacks very favourably against a couple of hundred casualties every couple of months in a population of 66 million.
At what point though is it considered an issue of any merit. I say it is right now, but if not, when?
Does it require the 100 body count type terror attacks to be bi-monthly, monthly, week, daily? Does it require more spectacularly awful terror acts like 9/11? Help me out here.
What about the intent of furniture to kill you and what motivates that furniture to kill you? What steps can you make to stop being killed by furniture. How do these standards apply to these radical Muslim extremists?
I don't see the problem as as dismissive as Odeon.
