And since you asked:
Total terrorism-related deaths in France in all of the 21st century:
about 250, for an average of 14 annual deaths. As a death rate per 100,000 inhabitants, that's about 0.021, or 0.3 per 100,000 people of Muslim extraction.
Annual road fatalities in France (2016):
3,469, though I'll use the 2013 figure of
3,268 for comparison, which gives us a rate of 5.1 per 100,000 inhabitants, much higher than Germany's 4.3, Spain's 3.7, Italy's 3.3, or Britain's 2.9.
The
excess death rate due to reckless driving compared to those countries is between around 40 (with Germany as the baseline) and 100 (compared to the UK) times higher than the death rate due to terrorism. That's not total traffic deaths, only the people who died who would still be alive if the French were driving as conscientiously as the Germans or Brits.
In absolute numbers, France suffered twice as many
excess road fatalities compared to Germany in 2013 alone than it suffered terrorism victims in all of the century so far, or more than 5 times as many compared to Britain.
Indeed, France has a severe security issue, but it's French drivers, not French Muslims. To the extent that French Muslims are a significant security hazard, it's because the two groups overlap.
If actual threat levels were the yardstick, we'd be getting a couple dozen to a couple hundred reports about a narrowly prevented road accident in France to every report of a foiled terror plot.
