From Zoha Waseem's Twitter (Kings War Studies PhD student):

I don't trust the numbers I'm providing, but they are probably approximate and Karachi seems relatively safe to many cities in America.

The lists vary from place to place, but here is an average of what the top ten most dangerous cities consist of.
1.San Pedro Sula, Honduras
2.Ciudad Jaurez, Mexico
3.Acapulco, Mexico
4.Caracas, Venezuela
5.Distrito Central, Honduras
6.Maceio, Brazil
7.Baghdad, Iraq
8.Sana’a, Yemen
9.Cape Town, South Africa
10.Karachi, Pakistan

The following list doesn't even list Karachi in the top 50 (doesn't mean its right):

Murder is more common in Latin America than in any other part of the world.

Thirty-four of the 50 worst cities were located in the region, including repeat murder capital of the world — San Pedro Sula, Honduras — which saw 187 homicides per 100,000 inhabitants in 2013 and is getting steadily worse. A full one-third of global homicides occur in Latin America even though the region has just 8% of the world's population, according to United Nations data.

And we're worried about Islamists?

Bill,

I wonder if those cities you listed above have similar figures for both civilian and state deaths.
