While those who would happily take us back to days when everyone who looked a certain way or thought a certain way was rounded up and put into holding pens (Japanese-American internment camps) are having a field day pointing fingers at those they're afraid of, truth is white right-wing extremists are still the most likely to commit acts of terrorism.
Quote:Most notably, while there were zero terror attacks on U.S. soil by Islamic extremists between June 2, 2009 and April 14, 2013, there were eight attacks by right-wing extremists in that time frame. The most deadly of those attacks was the Sikh temple shooting in Wisconsin in 2012, which left six dead and four wounded.
But despite the frequency and brutality of white terror attacks, there are far more Muslim terrorists prosecuted and/or killed for their crimes in 11 of the 15 years studied. As the chart below shows, the only years between 2001 and 2015 where non-jihadist terrorists were indicted or killed for their crimes more than their jihadist counterparts were 2001, 2004, 2008, and 2012:
The liberal idol FDR placed Americans in camps. I always love pointing that out.

Want me to run a list of murders in US for that same period. I could probably outnumber the number of terrorist attacks, and we're just one country. Land of the free, home of the Brave ...
OK, we can just ignore the terrorists then. Thanks for clarifying.

I am referencing the aggregate problem. This link shows an estimated 475 Islamic attacks in 39 countries in which 4,999 people were killed and 5,430 injured in the first three months of 2016.

This thread is about Terrorism, not domestic gun violence.
Local gun violence is mostly related to drug trades and other illegal activity. My point stands that liberals cannot differentiate between the two with any intellectual honestly in regards to which is a greater threat to the West.

You think they commit these acts because they are impoverished and angry?

Point taken.
I say we keep those impoverished and angry people out of this country and in the countries they reside in.
That only leaves us to deal with our shootings and gang bangings of our citizens here - that's a big enough job for the time being.
then duke nuke 'em....
buh-bye.....
you have to neutralize the situation before one can combat it.....the last 60 yrs have been nothing but 'chess fail'.....

The Fort Hood shootings by Nidal Hasan took place in November 2009. This in itself totally discredits the link.
I wonder how many were foiled during that time frame, both publicly and behind the scenes, including the Times Square car bomb that was stopped in the nick of time in 2010.

So, 28027 Muslim terror attacks, 8 extremist Americans.

I know those articles are supposed to be a "Gotcha" of sorts, but I don't think anyone would deny that jihadi attacks (that have been successful) have been scant in North America, that is, compared to other continents. The big oceans to the left and right help, and the percentage of Muslims in America is pretty tiny compared to most Western European countries.
But it's easy to see how the rapid rise of ISIS, the uptick in bombings across Europe, and news of unchecked thousands of Syrian refugees flooding across international borders would make people edgy. And I say this as someone who is against a lot of what Trump and Cruz say about what they'd do to address the situation.
