But the breakdown of extremist ideologies behind those attacks may come as a surprise. Since Sept. 11, 2001, nearly twice as many people have been killed by white supremacists, antigovernment fanatics and other non-Muslim extremists than by radical Muslims: 48 have been killed by extremists who are not Muslim, including the recent mass killing in Charleston, S.C., compared with 26 by self-proclaimed jihadists, according to a count by New America, a Washington research center.
The slaying of nine African-Americans in a Charleston church last week, with an avowed white supremacist charged with their murders, was a particularly savage case.
First off, that doesn't include the many Islamic attacks that have been prevented by an army of federal investigators.
It also doesn't account for the fact that these "right wing" attacks are by random nutjobs with no wider support (as compared to the global jihadists who are clearly inspired by organized ISIS/ Al Qaida internet recruiting and propaganda).
This New York Times piece also selectively omits the Islamic attacks outside the U.S., that are clearly done by the same Islamic cause, that would take the total WAY above 50 victims in the U.S. alone.
Its selective omission also ignores attacks by
Left wing groups such as the gay man who attacked a defense-of-marriage office, and after killing everyone there, planned to shove Chick-Fil-A food in the mouths of all the Christians he would have killed in the office (due to Chick-Fil-A's owner supporting defense-of-marriage groups).
That's some serious liberal fanaticism.
And some carefully edited selective omission by the New York Times, to shave the story to conform to the "Right wing is the real threat" angle they want to project.
