The World Is At Peace

How peaceful! There was no war to be seen at all.

Well, fortunately, we live in the year 2016 where the world is pretty stable. Oh, sure, there are a few attacks being carried out by extremists, but on the whole, things are peaceful. Take a look at this map showing Islamic attacks over the past few decades. (Here's the awesome Google map with all of the data.)
