White People Are Biggest Terror Threat In The US, Report Finds by Rilwayne001: 10:00pm On Jun 25, 2015
White Americans are the biggest terror threat in the
US, killing more people in attacks than Muslims or
any other group in the last 14 years, according to a
study done by the New America Foundation.

The group looked into the 26 attacks on US soil that
it defined as terror and found that 19 of those
attacks were done by non-Muslims. All the studied
attacks are post-9/11.

Since then, 48 people have been killed by
extremists who are not Muslim, compared to 26
killed by people who claimed to be jihadist. The
non-Muslim groups include right-wing, anti-
government organizations and white-supremacist
groups.

Last week’s Charleston shooting — after which
reports surfaced of the confessed shooter’s white-
supremacist ideology — was included in the count.
Other attacks, like the massacres in Aurora,
Colorado and Newtown, Connecticut, were not
included, since they do not appear to have been
caused by a specific ideology, the standard used by
New America Foundation to qualify terrorism.

This information may shock the public, as
post-9/11 trauma has made jihadi terror attacks
more prominent in the media, but US law
enforcement is well aware of the danger of white
extremist groups, the New York Times reported.

A recent survey done by researchers at the
University of North Carolina and Duke University
asked 382 US police departments to list top threats
and 74 per cent listed anti-government violence,
while just 39 per cent said “Al Qaeda-inspired”
violence.

“Law enforcement agencies around the country
have told us the threat from Muslim extremists is
not as great as the threat from right-wing
extremists,” Charles Kurzman, a UNC researcher,
told the Times.

Even 9/11 attacks are questionable, it was an inside job.
