It seems you're writing from a USA perspective, that's alien from European reality. There aren't so many violent deaths over here and a sizeable proportion of them has been caused by islamic terrorism.

Are there other problems that take lives? Of course, but terrorism is one of the biggest problems that fall into police competences.
