Brown’s words recall a widely-heralded study that was published last summer, claiming that “right-wing extremism” was a bigger threat to the U.S. than jihad, based on the number of Americans killed by each since 9/11. Not only does this study skew the results by leaving out 9/11, but it also ignored the many, many foiled jihad plots in the U.S. since 9/11. Also, right-wing extremists like Dylann Roof, the murderer in Charleston, South Carolina, killed because of their paranoid fantasies, but were not part of any movement with an articulated agenda or goal, while Islamic jihadists are members of or ideologically aligned with groups that have declared their intention to destroy the U.S. and the free world. Islamic jihad groups are determined to kill as many Americans as possible and conquer free societies, and swallowing Brown’s nonsense here will result in the deaths of many Americans.
“White Men Are The Biggest Terrorist Threat To The U.S., Not Muslims — A Reminder From Sen. Sherrod Brown,” by Val Powell, Inquisitr, November 23, 2015:
Muslims and other Middle Eastern people have been falsely branded as terrorists by many, but on Thursday, Sen. Sherrod Brown reminded millions of Americans that most acts of terrorism in the country were carried out by white men and not by Arabs or Muslims.
Brown said that “generally white males” are to blame for many terrorist attacks since September 11, 2001. He cited several incidents of mass shootings in public places in broad daylight and called them “terrorist attacks,” but the only difference is that they were carried out by “different kinds of terrorists.”
“I think most of us recognize, we’re concerned but we also know that we trust the FBI and our security forces to do this right. I mean, since the beginning of the Bush administration when we were attacked, September 11th, we’ve not had any major terrorist attacks in this country,” Brown said, adding that the country has been relatively safe from foreign terrorists.
Many people in Fort Hood and Boston would beg to differ.
Brown also pointed out that the real terror does not come from the outside and that much of the people’s views and stereotypes are distorted. During a radio interview on WAKR, Sen. Brown said that while people are putting all the blame on Muslims, white men who were involved in smaller acts of terrorism committed were neglected.
“We’ve had individual crazy people, normally, they look more like me than they look like Middle Easterners — they are generally white males — who have shot up people in movie theaters and schools. Those are terrorist attacks, they’re just different kinds of terrorists.”
The Ohio Democrat also assured people there is nothing to fear because the government and local communities are putting every effort in keeping the country safe for everyone. The government has done a great job warding off terrorist attacks from foreigners. However, he added the real cause for concern is the terrorism that happens inside the country done by white men, and that is where the government fails to protect its people.
“Not keeping us safe from crazy gunmen coming into schools and movie theaters sometimes, but certainly keeping us safe from foreigners attacking this country,” the senator argued.
In response to the ISIS terror attacks in Paris, Donald Trump suggested shutting down mosques to prevent extremist Muslims from committing atrocities in the country. Conservatives are also against offering asylum to Syrian refugees.
Domestic terrorism is a problem in the country, but it is often neglected and replaced with paranoia that comes with welcoming Muslims in the U.S.
However, white men were responsible for the firebombing of abortion clinics and Planned Parenthood, as well as mass shootings in movie theaters and schools. Who can forget the killing of nine church members in South Carolina? The perpetrator was a white young man named Dylann Roof. In a recent interview, the senator made a good point of reminding people about the stereotypes people subscribe to….

Don McKellar says
The biggest threat to the United States are raving politically correct lunatics like Senator Sherrod Brown. When are the elections? When can this madman be removed from office?
Christopher H says
Nailed it!
mortimer says
Senator Sherrod Brown says white males are a threat.
Senator Sherrod Brown is a white male.
Senator Sherrod Brown is a threat.
Senator Sherrod Brown needs to eliminate the threat.
Senator Sherrod Brown should commit suicide.
Dave says
That was great!
Edwin1683 says
Brilliant!
Doug says
Your logic is truly dizzying, I salute you sir!!!
خَليفة says
Exactly. If true he should resign his office as he is part of the problem.
Sounds like he is trying to score voter points by putting hate of “the man”. Everyone should be leary of self-deprecating politicians saying Stupid things – “it’s the white guys fault, but I’m not like that” ” I have black friends”
ich says
im sure everyone will grant u permission to go after “crazy whiteys”
but at the same time….go after jihadis too
EZ PZ
mortimer says
No. ‘Everyone’ won’t encourage h’ichs like ich to ‘go after’ anyone.
Cultural Marxists are ensuring that white males get no jobs, do not have families with little white children who care about freedom, human rights and such outdated nonsense.
We now live in an era of SWEEPING FEELING in which thought and ideas are considered passé.
Jovial Joe says
Would the good Senator dare say that ‘black men commit most murders in the States’, which is a hard fact? http://blogs.channel4.com/factcheck/factcheck-black-americans-commit-crime/19439
This is pure white guilt and an evasion of the chief problem, that, per capita, Muslims are disproportionately represented in terror plots and attacks. Of course, anyone with two brain cells knows and a healthy regard for the truth knows this.
TheBuffster says
Joe, do black men commit most murders in the United States? I thought that white men commit more in absolute numbers, but black men commit more in proportion to their population.
Jovial Joe says
Check out the link, they commit 52% of all homicides. They hold that dubious honor in terms of absolute numbers too.
Bill says
Murders and terrorist attacks aren’t the same thing.
underbed cat says
The senators comments are lacking in diversity or is that hate speech.? Should I be offended?
If he does find a terrorist in Ohio, and he is white I hope he arrests him no matter what his religion.
Jean-Marc Cowles O'Connor says
How many of the “foiled” terrorist attacks were being planned or would have been executed by white men? Shouldn’t that be part of the calculus of who is most dangerous?
Jay Boo says
He has such an analytical mind.
Very impressive!
Yet if you tell Sen. Brown that Muhammad founded his slave-trade ideology, Islam while raiding caravans, he will stare dumbfounded and lose all inquisitiveness.
Jan says
I think he may be mixing common criminals in with terrorists. If you do that, naturally Islamic terrorists won’t come out on top. Gun crime happens somewhere every day.
Westman says
I don’t subscribe to any of the “angry white men” violence but I do see a glaring difference. The “white” miscreants support the American Nation while the Islamic Supremacists seek to destroy it. The Senator’s attempt to equate them in terms of danger to the nation’s future is strawman political rhetoric for political gain.
Islam is the greatest threat to world peace ever known. Modern technology has empowered the individual to reach the former destructive capability of a group. Islamists have adopted the new technology by purchasing it from men only too eager to sell it to the detriment of their own society. Even the F16 is now being sold to Islamic countries. Their goal is to unseat the Senator, by vote or force.
This Senator should observe what happens in Europe beneath the cry of allahu ackbar or walk the streets of Molenbeek with a kippah, or even Dearborn, Mi.
Sam S. Ara says
Well stated.
And besides—why is it okay to say that the public should fear “white men” broadly thrown together, yet the notion of “Muslims” and “Arabs” broadly thrown together is wrong, racist, and bigoted?
And, last but not least, if we are being condescended to by our idiot leaders who tell us that we must learn to understand the poor bruised souls of terrorists and how they had no choice but to give in to the dark side—their poor tortured souls, difficult childhoods, oppressed nations, and all that rot—then shouldn’t we all be gathering our chairs in a circle and talking about our feelings as white men gone astray? Shouldn’t they be trying to understand US, too, instead of judging/condemning us?
Like always, a layer cake of different standards and blazing hypocrisy with a frosting of idiocy.
Westman says
Wait a minute, Sam, while I pull up my chair. They are serving cake today? I feel indigestion is close at hand. Dark side is right.
Our current “leaders” don’t lead. They just walk down a middle road outlined by measuring the statistical tolerance of the electorate while dining on major donor dollars and manipulating the public for their benefit; with more effort invested in re-election than in service to the society.
Politicians can’t be expected to speak truth when power is the objective. They know what happens if truth offends power. Socrates learned that. He also said, “The greatest way to live with honor in this world is to be what we pretend to be”. The US is in a hiatus that is troubling, while Russia takes the lead in combatting Daesh. Has our government become a pretender, that will sit on the sidelines?
Jeff says
Westman – While i completely agree with you, don’t get fooled into calling them the PC name “Daesh.” They are Islamic State, and the name should reflect their religion and their ideology. While they’re too cowardly to fight in uniforms and on a battlefield, we shouldn’t allow them to also hide behind a generic name. – Jeff
Gene says
White Democrats are the biggest terrorist threat to the U.S., not Muslims.
Joseph says
Blame all terrorism on the Periodic Table of Elements. If we ban ALL elements then no one can make any weapons of destruction. Problem solved.
sarc/off
Westman says
Removing Oxygen would definitely be sufficient.
Joseph says
I was wondering if anyone would bring that up.
Kudos to you Westman.
Edwin1683 says
Speaking of oxygen, I think Sherrod Brown was already deprived of it for a lengthy period at birth.
Michael Copeland says
“we trust the FBI and our security forces to do this right”.
That alleged trust is misplaced.
“The Boston police were prevented from connecting the dots [of the triple killing] because the dots had been removed. Had they instead been connected, the Tsarnaev brothers could have been investigated. If it had been they who were the killers they would have been in custody or even jail at the time of the Boston Marathon of 2013. There would have been no Tsarnaev jihad bomb, no bodies, no legs blown off, no blood, no injuries, just a happy commemorative family event.”

somehistory says
White guys in suits who lie and deny that there is a problem inherent in islam, produced over and over in moslims…some men, some women and even children getting in on the internal struggle to find a victim whose head can be removed…are indeed a major part of the problem.
He mentioned a couple of shootings by white guys…theaters and schools…but failed to tell the truth about the number of moslims that have, since 9/;11, shot and killed soldiers on bases and at recruiting centers. There have been several of those…Ft. Hood, Chattanooga, attempted Ft.Dix…
The very recent Merced stabbings was by a moslim…on the terror watch list.
The molsim who beheaded the co-worker and tried to behead another.
The two moslims in Boston who killed several and wounded many.
Those same two were involved in a multiple murder previous to that…at least, the older one was said to have killed some *friends.*
The moslim in Florida, friend of the Boston two who tried to kill the FBI agents who were questioning him.
The Christmas tree bomber, the Times Square truck loaded with explosives, the guy who set his underwear on fire on a plane, the guy who bought beauty products to build a bomb for the subway in NY, Richard ..shoe-bomber guy… was somewhat *white* but he was also moslim.
The young moslim in Tampa who planned a bombing of a night club, and the other two from Florida who were trying to travel to somewhere they could learn bomb-making in order to come back and carry on with their internal struggle. There was another moslim who traveled in the eastern states to the northwestern states to kill…he was a serial killer for islam.
The guy who came in from Canada and planned to bomb LAX.
These are just a few of the attacks or attempts inside the U.S….those that come readily to my mind without going back to my research or searching anew. And my memory ain’t what it used to be.
One of my professors, former FBI Special Agent, told me just last week of recent arrests (in his state), of several moslim men who were planning a terrorists attack.
Reading an article on the Washington Times site, my daughter found out about some other plots not previously read about and they are “bracing” for possible attacks over the holidays, these coming from isis.
This guy should try not to speak until he knows of what he speaks and quit attempting to help the real terrorists by getting people to stop watching and being on the alert.
Anyone in denial or lying is only helping the beast from satan.
mortimer says
Senator Sherrod Brown will get swollen lips if continues.
The fallacy of his argument is revealed by counting. How many white males are there in ratio to Muslims in the US?
A statistical analysis will show that by population, white males are MUCH LESS LIKELY to commit terrorism than Muslims who are statistically more likely to become a jihad-terrorist for the sake of Allah.
The study is a manipulation of numbers…a shameful hoodwinking of voters.
Senator Sherrod Brown is creating an unjust condemnation of white males and should be shunned by them at the polls.
mortimer says
White American males are 31% of the population compared with 1.6% Muslim.
Muslims are actually 7 times MORE TERRORISTIC per population than white males.
The frequency of terrorism between Muslims and white Americans is thus 7:1.
Jeremiah says
To Sherrod Brown, Obama and Goebbels, Truth is the enemy of the state.
Mahendra Singh says
SO what next?
My suggestion: Immolate yourself right in front of the white house.
Kepha says
I’m adding my voice to those who are disgusted by Sherrod Brown.
But he is right. White males in power who consistently refuse to recognize a threat and enable terror are indeed a bigger threat to the USA. Further, add to that the numbers of white males who are Muslim (I don’t know how they count things now, but when I was a kid, North Africas to at least northern Indian origin was also counted as “wthie”).
mahghan says
So too those Hispanics who are white.
? says
Adolf Hitler president of Germany’s Jew haters club was supposed to be a Jew himself. It seems that the ones who hate a group the most are actually from that group…
This is the reaping 666
Kilfincelt says
Islamic terrorist attacks since 9/11=27,314 which equal about 1,951 a year or about 5 a day and that doesn’t count the number of foiled attacks. And Senator Nutcase Brown thinks that U. S. white males are the problem. I wonder if he included Islamic white males? In any case, most of our domestic white male terrorists have had a screw loose. Oh! Oh! We better watch out for Senator Brown. He’s a white male and he, obviously, is missing some screws.
Mo says
So he’s a terrorist threat? Why is he allowed to hold public office?
Liz says
I couldn’t help but notice Sherrod’s clenched fist in the photo. A very clear sign of his political beliefs. Commies/socialists/progressives/fascists/nazis/leftists have been responsible for 100 million deaths in the last hundred years. And counting. Muslims have caused 270 million deaths in the last 1400 years. And counting. No wonder Islam and leftism are natural allies. Totalitarian and genocidal.
For those who think nazism and fascism are right wing extremist ideologies, keep in mind that nazi stands for national SOCIALIST workers party. Yes, they attacked the communists, because they were competition. Fascism merges govt with business. There are slight variations among the left in their beliefs and practices, but they all have the same agenda. The right demands less govt control. An anarchist is a right wing extremist.
Georg says
Why do these troglodytes leave out 9/11?
I don’t know, but if my uncle were a woman, she’d be my aunt.
bill muldoon says
Duh.
The whole world condemns GW Bush for taking the war on islamic terror from the shores of the US, post 9/11, back to the ME.
Personally, I think that the man was a genius for doing this.
That he thought that he could convince moslems to embrace democracy, was his only mistake.
All those Americans who condemn Bush for Iraq, should actually thank him for their relative calm and security post 9/11, until the idiot Obama took office.
Budreaux says
Of course, black males are not taken into consideration here. Why, because they’re too busy killing each other on the streets. 97% of the murders in the US are Black on Black. Including the 9 y/o that was killed execution style in Chicago.
Michael says
What’s interesting is that you start off this piece of crap by stating that the study was skewed in a way you didn’t like, then you go on to dismiss terrorist like Dylann Roof by saying they aren’t a part of some group with an “articulated agenda” so they don’t count. You’ve thereby skewed how you think we should look at terrorist in your own favor. Talk about hypocritical.
cnet says
That’s a very elementary way to look at it. White males account for the highest number of mass murders because that’s who populates the U.S. The facts show that whites are actually less likely to commit mass murder than Asians or black citizens:
64% of mass murders have been committed by whites, but whites make up 72.4% of America.
16% of mass murders have been committed by blacks, but blacks make up only 12.6% of America.
9% of mass murders have been committed by asians, but Asians make up only 4.8% of America.
I wish the media was better at math, but unfortunately the narrative is that the average white male is more violent. Not even close: http://www.cnn.com/2015/06/27/us/mass-shootings/
Also, twice as many white people are murdered by black people every year than the other way around. With the way the media has been portraying racially motivated violence, you would think black people are killed more by white poeple than the other way around. Not even close: https://www.fbi.gov/…/expanded_homicide_data_table_6..
For the record, I am FOR America helping refugees in need. But, throwing out misleading racial comments is completely unnecessary. It’s like looking at Japan and saying, “See, Japanese males commit mass murder more than extremists!” Lol. Yes, because that’s who populates the country. When you look at mass murder in relationship with our population’s racial makeup, white people are not the biggest threat.
Wilma says
Agreed. Got to mention that the Muslim population is only 1% in the U.S., which means that per capita, Muslims are more prone to cause a terrorist death by 50x, which is confirmed by the U.S. Center of Immigration. Google it.
Hammad A. Malik says
The results are misleading as when a white male commits a mass murder, even if the male proclaims clear religious association, he is classified as a lone crazed individual.
In the late 80s early 90s I provided security at federal facilities. We would regularly get intelligence up dates on likely threats to federal property. The large majority of threats were from white males that had affiliations with various militia, white supremacist and other groups that were typically tied to the Christian Identity Movement
I guess our intelligence agencies at the time were incompetent. Oh wait, part of this period was under the Bush Administration, the smart one, not the incompetent son. So you can not use your anti-Obama rhetoric here.
Sheila Long says
I can’t believe my fellow Ohioans elected this idiot. He and anyone else who thinks like this are the greatest threat to America. SMH
Mitch says
Hey Senator, do the Tsarnaev brothers go on the “white men” side of your terrorist ledger, or the muslim side?
John Pepin says
When you include terrorist attacks by Marxists, like Bill Ayers weather underground, Lee Harvey Oswald, Dyllan Roof, James Holms, among others… as “right wing,” the numbers can lie as much as you want.
Freedom1080 says
If we going to deal in facts lets start with the truth. Since 9-11 to 2014 Chicago had 6,312 murders. Therefore you are 131 times more likely top get killed visiting Chicago than by a Right wing extremist. Yes that is correct 131 TIMES.
Shane says
There are probably 100 million more non-Muslim White men in the USA than there are Muslims men so it is natural that they would be involved in more mass killings. However, Muslim men are much more likely to engage in terrorist attacks than White men, which Is why I am against bringing in any more Muslim immigrants or refugees.
Nighttimer says
I *really* wouldn’t be surprised if he did exactly that.
Hell, considering the way he worded things – “We’ve had individual crazy people, normally, they look more like me than they look like Middle Easterners — they are generally white males — who have shot up people in movie theaters and schools. ” – I wouldn’t be surprised if he even included white male all-American converts like Nicholas Teausant and Terry Loewen.

You got that right! It is the demoncrat white people and those in Washington D.C. that we should fear! Not to mention all of the Black Mobs that are now terrorizing Cities around the country, just how many have they killed?

Are you kidding me,this guy is a real Retard,no White person should ever vote for him,what if he said all black people are terrorists,the news media would have s fit,he sure knows how to twist the numbers,this man should never be allowed to run for office on grounds he is stupid an only uses 1/8 of his brain.
Richard Rhodes says
What proof is there that Sherrod Brown has a brain.
Susan Hill says
Fear of Muslims is not racial hatred as much as it is survival instincts. When thousands of Americans are killed by Muslims, it is only natural to be cautious around Muslims.
Dr. Divinity says
You are right Susan……Muslims don’t have a huge army,navy or air force but they do have FEAR and they are using fear to its utmost.
FEAR IS THE CATALYST THAT FUELS ISLAM AND THE KORAN IS THE VEHICLE THAT DRIVES IT.
Dan says
When did the Islamic idealolgy become a race? Apples and oranges,
Hanible McMillan says
Fear of White People the world over is not racial hatred as much as it is survival instincts. When thousands of non-whites have and continue to be raped, pillaged, and killed by whites, it is only natural to be cautious around White People.
We can play this game as well.

Not to change the subject, but I hope we do not have mass rioting in Chicago because of the shooting death of a teen by Officer Van Dyke!! I don’t know all of the details but obviously it’s bad because the liberal of all liberals mayor came out to talk about the video prior to it being released! Based on what people are saying about what they saw in the video…it’s not good. If what they say is true…why would that officer shoot this kid 16 times? What an idiot!! He wasn’t presenting a threat once he was lying on the ground, but the officer kept shooting at him! I didn’t agree with most cases previously, but I hope we don’t have a huge riot in Chicago! Well…it wouldn’t be the first and it won’t be the last, I assure you!! Geez!

If the record is right on the people doing all the killing in the U.S. most have a democratic background, senator Brown should have made this statement in hos moronic rant about white men as being terrorist.

I am sorry for comments that our idiot senator from the horrible state of Ohio has been spewing. I did not vote for the left wing Obama ass kisser myself
Brenda says
Before making any more ridiculous statements, Brown needs to look in the mirror. After all, is he not a white man promoting the embracing of muslims into America, denying the crimes committed by the blacks, and illegal aliens?
Also, terrorism is defined as the use of terror and violence to intimidate, subjugate as a POLITICAL weapon of POLICY.
The use of violence in and by its self does not constitute terrorism. Yes, there have been, and will continue to be, white men with axes to grind, but that does not make them terrorist. It just makes them sick individuals that lash out at others for their own insecurities.
His absence of the black on black violence, the black shooting or policemen, the black church burners, the murders of whites by illegal aliens speaks volumns. What we have is another establishment, career politician using selective stats to make his argument and once again insulting all white Americans for his PC crap.
