There is a steady stream of reports that claim to show that “right-wingers” are a larger threat than Islamic jihadists. All of them come from the far-Left. This one is from the Nation Institute, which is connected to the Leftist flagship publication The Nation; the Investigative Fund at the Nation Institute boasts of its reports receiving “Soros media fellowships.”
This study, which you can read about at the Investigative Fund’s site here but which was immediately (of course) picked up by Newsweek, merely counts the number of “right-wing” terrorist attacks and Islamic jihad attacks within the last nine years (why that span?), and claims that the number of “right-wing” attacks exceeds the number of jihad attacks. It claims that there have been only 63 Islamic terrorism cases in the U.S. in the last nine years, which any regular Jihad Watch reader will know strains credulity well beyond the breaking point.
But even taking these numbers at face value, we get this: “Islamist extremists killed more people overall, with a death toll of 90 people compared to 79.” That leads to the question of what criteria were used to determine what constituted a terror attack. Were attacks in which the perpetrators never intended to kill anyone, and did not do so, lumped together with attacks in which the objective was mass murder? Newsweek doesn’t tell us.
Above all, no consideration is made of the fact that Islamic jihad is an international movement, while there is no international conglomeration of “right-wing extremists” plotting terror attacks around the globe. And that is what makes all the difference. This bogus study, like the others before it, is plain disinformation, designed to foster ignorance and complacency about the magnitude of the jihad threat. Why the Leftist media wants to do that is as yet not fully clear.
“Most Terrorists in the U.S. Are Right Wing, Not Muslim: Report,” by Mirren Gidda, Newsweek, June 22, 2017:
U.S. President Donald Trump was elected vowing to get tough on “radical Islamic terrorism.” He has tried to implement a travel ban barring people from six Muslim-majority nations from entering the U.S. and has tweeted frequently about Islamist terrorist attacks around the world. On Thursday, a new report claimed the president has his facts muddled.
A joint project by the Investigative Fund at the Nation Institute, a nonprofit media center, and Reveal from the Center for Investigative Reporting has found that within the past nine years, right-wing extremists plotted or carried out nearly twice as many terrorist attacks as Islamist extremists. Of the 115 right-wing incidents, police only foiled 35 percent. Compare this to the 63 Islamist terrorism cases, where police foiled 76 percent of the planned attacks.
Right-wing extremists were not only more successful, they were often more deadly, too. From 2008 to 2016, a third of right-wing attacks involved fatalities, compared to 13 percent of Islamist attacks. It should be noted, however, that Islamist extremists killed more people overall, with a death toll of 90 people compared to 79.
In a statement pointing out the higher rate of successful, right-wing terrorist attacks, the Investigative Fund said: “This project quantifies just how irrational Trump and the GOP’s fixation on ‘radical Islamic terrorism’ as the greatest security threat is.”…
Terry says
I am curious where the “right wing terrorist” attacks were?
Would they count the Carolina case -in ( it was either a condo or apartment complex) where some Muslims were killed in a parking space dispute? (I agree, killing over a parking place is dumb, but not a terrorist plot).
Or, the man who beat up Muslims attempting to rape his girl friend (NYC). (was in JW).
Muslim terror attacks- well Ft Hood (or is that only “workplace violence’); San Bernadino (George Stephanopolis-said that that was ” workplace jihad”- as opposed to, I suppose regular jihad); the woman beheaded in OK? Or was that, also, just workplace violence?
These people ( the Investigative Fund)-probably-if investigating to find their asshole, and had their hands tied behind their back, below their waist, probably could not find it.
If the threat of right wing extremists is so great and that of Muslim terrorists so minimal, why do they live in gated communities or apartments with doormen, etc. Why don’t they go live in Muslim countries, they would be so much safer.

The LEFT has to FIND RIGHT WING attacks & Terrorists to hide the ISLAMIC allies attacks & HATRED!
This is the WESTS challenge – DESTROY & DEFEAT the HATRED of the LEFT & get rid of those who promote this hatred of our DEMOCRACY & WAY of LIFE in our Schools & Universities, Institutes & Governments & Political Parties.
Call them out & then GET RID of them !!
somehistory says
They never give any real examples to back up the claims. They just say it and expect everyone to believe it so the moslums will be off the hook for terror.
This is a bunch of bologna. Rotten bologna, as it is so old as to be green and rancid.
If the report stated the truth, there would be news accounts of the attacks…daily….as there are news reports ….daily…and sometimes several in a day.. where moslums are attacking, and they say that many are foiled. If none were foiled, many of us would also be direct victims instead of indirect victims.
But the people that believe islum is peaceful and means peace, will swallow this report and rehash it over and over as though it is the truth.
mortimer says
Agree. The ‘researchers’ are actually propagandists producing Soviet-style KGB DEZINPHORMATSIYA.
John Lloyd Scharf says
There is no such thing as a peaceful Mohammedan. Saying peace comes from Mohammedanism is like saying rainbows come from Invisible Pink Unicorn farts.
Terry says
As to Mr. Spencer’s question-why 9 years.
That is easy. End of George Bush and all of Obama, and a few months of Pres. Trump.
And no really very successful terrorist attacks -so far- thankfully, under Pres. Trump.
And Obama called terrorist attacks ( see my post above) San Bernadino, Ft Hood, etc workplace violence (SB with a modifier)-so, they were not terrorist actions.
Jaladhi says
These lying morons are at it again!! They very conveniently convert white lies into truths the so called fake news. Anything goes in the liberal mind. They can bend, distort, manipulate truth or lies to fit their narratives aka Islam and Muslims are peaceful and the right is doing all the terrorism in USA or even in the world. Sigh – I hope the citizens of this see through their bald faced lies.
john spielman says
they just need to extend the timeline to the past 16 years when 3000 innocents were slaughtered by muslims and how many jihad attacks have been stopped BEFORE ANYONE KILLED?
Mark Swan says
Yes Indeed john spielman ,and we can count all the killed and wounded in two wars, all
the trillions of dollars wasted, because of Islam, all the sense of peace, safety and freedom
lost since Muslims started their hostilities—we could go on and on, oh yes we could.
Donald R Laster Jr says
And people still keep trying to pretend the 9/11 attack was not an Islamic attack. The people who claim it was not an Islamic attack ignore the buildings design, an actual design flaw, engineering, and how metal fails when heated. They make up anything they can to avoid facing that it was all Islamics.
Santa Voorhees says
According to Europol, left wing terror outnumbers the right wing terror by a ratio of 27:1.
Not surprising at all, since the Left has proven many times to be allied with islamic jihadists.
VRWC member77 says
Entertaining this idiotic and false premise of the left, how about the US stop spending the TENS of BILLIONS of DOLLARS OF DOLLARS ON COUNTER TERRORISM MEASURES to stop ISLAMIC TERRORISM and we’ll see these so-called “right wing terror attacks” measure up to Islamic Terror Attacks.
Bill49 says
A left biased report as seen by what they consider “incendiary” remarks sound like reasonable assertions….
As a candidate, Trump promised to institute a “shutdown of Muslims.” As president, he has signed two executive orders barring immigrants and refugees from a list of Muslim-majority nations, both blocked by the courts.
Two of his most influential advisers, who he brought with him into the White House, were retired Lt. Gen. Michael Flynn — who, before his short-lived tenure as national security adviser, had a record of making such incendiary remarks as, “Fear of Muslims is rational,” and, “I don’t see Islam as a religion” — and chief strategist Stephen Bannon, who had called Islam a “religion of submission” and stoked fears that radical Muslims seek to create an “Islamic States of America.”
And the reporters credentials…
David Neiwert is a freelance journalist based in Seattle. He is a contributor to the Southern Poverty Law Center’s Intelligence Project ….

somehistory says
Another thing these kinds of *reports* and *studies* don’t show or even mention are the incidents of narco-terrorism.
Narco-terrorism has a drug smuggling element that other terrorism doesn’t have. One of the purposes of the terrorism connected to narcotics is to force people to look the other way or keep their lips shut…or else.
Another aspect is that many of these narco-terrorists are moslum….pushing, smuggling illegal narcotics in order to finance their other terrorism…buying bomb-making materials, financing travel, buying weapons, etc.
These guys and gals who fabricate should look at the naro-terrorists and see how many of them are moslum or just left-wingers. But they won’t because that would put another kink in their report..

This is it. They cover themselves by throwing their own mud at the opposition, some of it sticks, and when everyone is covered with their filth people don’t notice how disgusting they are. They do the same with their repulsive sexual antics by deliberately debasing young kuffar girls then claiming them to be ‘whores’ or infiltrating the establishment and instigating media mud-slinging and spurious legal campaigns against prominent names, thereby dragging everyone down to their level and creating convenient smoke-screens to cover their criminal debauched outrages. It’s not clever. It’s just so totally contemptible that no one else would actually dream of doing it.

The point of that song is we DO get fooled again. It is sarcasm about people who think they have discovered a new way through a revolution. My ancestor, John Little, died in a war to have a government requiring “the consent of the governed.” Nope, we exchanged one kind of king for another; one kind of aristocracy for another. Now we have ANTIFA who are more fascist than Neo-Nazis or KKK. They want to protect a religion of fascism, that justifies rape, robbery, torture, and murder in the name of “Allah” at the bidding of an ancient psychopath named Mohammed.

Smile and grin at the change all around
Pick up my guitar and play

A few decades ago, a writer, HAROLD ROBBINS, wrote a book-I forgot the name.
In it, it is the story of a revolution, and the leader of the revolution (I think it was a literary take off of Castro versus Batista) is upset at the corruption; cronyism; making the leader into a deity, etc.
One of the leader’s friends and followers, ( I forgot the reason) after the revolution is successful, leaves the country for a few years. He returns, AND THE NEW LEADER HAS STATUES AND PICTURES AND POSTERS OF HIMSELF, ALL OVER THE PLACE ( making him into a deity); the same corruption and cronyism-although now the crony’s are his, and his followers are the ones who are corrupt.

The rest of us know from reading more widely and deeply that the worst types of extremists, supported by the left, have a more global agenda than the odd right-wing extremist who’s only giving vent to some idiosyncratic urge motivated by racism, religious zealotry or hatred of abortion. Appalling as these latter attacks may be, they do not threaten world peace or the prevailing order in whichever country where they occur.
mortimer says
Al Walaa wal Baraa is the best supported doctrine in Islam. Al Walaa wal Baraa is the doctrine of Islamic apartheid.
Koran 28:86 “Do not support the kafireen in any way.”
Koran 5.51 “He amongst you who turns to them (for friendship) is of them.”
Koran 40:35 “They who dispute the signs (verses) of Allah without authority having reached them are greatly hated by Allah and the believers.” (Note: not just “hated”, but “greatly hated”.)
Koran 48:29: “Muhammad is God’s apostle. Those who follow him are violent to the unbelievers, but compassionate to one another.”
Koran 4: 101 “The kuffar are for you a clear enemy.”
Koran 8:60 “Terrorize the enemy of Allah and your enemy”
Koran 60:4 “We have rejected you, and there has arisen between us and you enmity and hatred, until you believe and worship Allaah alone.”
Koran 3: 118 “O you who believe! Do not take into your intimacy those outside your ranks. They will not fail to corrupt you.”
Examples of al-Baraa from historic figures:
-from Ahmad Sirhindi (1564-1624): “The honour of Islam lies in insulting kufr and kafirs. One who respects the kafirs dishonours the Muslims… The real purpose of levying jiziya on them is to humiliate them to such an extent that they may not be able to dress well and to live in grandeur. They should constantly remain terrified and trembling. It is intended to hold them under contempt and to uphold the honour and might of Islam.”
-from ibn Taymiyya, “Book of Emaan”: “… true believers show animosity and hatred towards disbelievers and never support them.”
-from Umar Sulayman ‘Abd-Allaah al-Ashqar, “Belief in Allah”: “The Muslim should regard the Kuffaar as enemies and hate them because of their kufr, just as he hates their kufr (disbelief) itself.”
-from [Chap.iv] “The Islaamic Concept of al-Walaa’ wal-Baraa’” by Khalid El-Gharib: “… to show enmity to those who show enmity to Allaah and His Messenger”.
(Note: Muslims are to visibly demonstrate their enmity or hatred towards the kufaar)
-from a lecture given by Sheikh Abdullah al-Faisal (H.A.): “The implication of al-Baraa is that one HATES for the sake of Allah (SWT)…Al-Baraa means to recognize who your enemies are and to HATE them and EXTERMINATE them in their Endeavour to get rid of your Deen, al-Islam…Al-Baraa is to HATE the people who propagate Baatil (falsehood)—the Muslim should HATE them and (at least desire to) KILL them when the time comes.”
(Note: not ‘if the time comes’, but ‘WHEN the time comes.)
Conclusions: A Muslim is required by Sharia law to hate the disbelievers so that he will be motivated to kill them at a later time, thus carrying out Allah’s justice against those who say Mohammed is not a prophet.

James says
In comparison to the far left, all others are, by definition, “right wing”. So – in that limited sense – jihadi attacks would count as being by those on the right. To suggest that they are mostly by those on the political right, whether in the US, UK, or any other multi-political state, is absurd because it is false.
Maybe some on the left do not regard all or any jihadi attacks as terrorism, on the principle that those on one’s own side can do no wrong. Or maybe terrorism is in some way defined qualitatively: the wrong kind of terrorism by one’s own group is terrorism, the right kind is not.
Anne Smith says

jewdog says
Statistics aside, Islamic terrorists are far more dangerous because they adhere to a coherent ideology which is widely popular with a significant percentage of the world’s population. Western terrorists are universally considered criminal outliers and an embarrassment, but Muslim terrorists often garner widespread sympathy in Islamic and leftist publications, and if they target Israelis their families can receive generous stipends.
Papa Bear says
Even accepting their data, if the tiny 2% or so Muslims who are citizens or visitors commit more than half the terrorist attacks, they are exponentially more dangerous and this would be a good reason for profiling them.
Additionally, they tease President Trump for using the phrase Radical Islamic Terrorism in Pennsylvania where they say there have been no terrorists attacks in 15 years (they were four days short of 15 years from the slaughter of flight 93 which killed almost half the number of their whole sample of “home grown right wing” terrorism.
John A. Marre says
Just another form of denial of the obvious. The left refuses to put the blame where it belongs, because they are beholden to Muslims for votes.
CJ says
Interesting there are no stats anywhere in that piece on “left-wing” terrorists.
So, let’s take these numbers purely at face value, that there were 115 right-wing terrorist attacks, 63 islamic terrorist attacks and 0 left-wing terrorist attacks. That makes for 178 terrorist attacks, of which, 63, or 35%, were islamic. But wait! Muslims are only ~1% of the total population. That is far, far, far less than 35%. Worse, that 1% is responsible for 53% of the terrorism fatalities.
We can safely state muslims are far more likely to commit terrorist attacks than any other segment of the population.
rbla says
Excellent observation. Anyone with training in statistics knows that you must look at such per capita population weightings. This is true for terrorism and for crime in general.

What I had read- the Tucson shooter- no real political leanings, (IE GOP or Dem) but somewhat of a Marxists. But was also off the wall. ONLY, ( as far as I know) the NY Times still considered him a right winger.

Terry, there is very little difference between the Communist Manifesto of Karl Marx and modern Democrats:
1. Abolition of property in land and application of all rents of land to public purposes.
2. A heavy progressive or graduated income tax.
3. Abolition of all rights of inheritance.
4. Confiscation of the property of all emigrants and rebels.
5. Centralisation of credit in the hands of the state, by means of a national bank with State capital and an exclusive monopoly.
6. Centralisation of the means of communication and transport in the hands of the State.
7. Extension of factories and instruments of production owned by the State; the bringing into cultivation of waste-lands, and the improvement of the soil generally in accordance with a common plan.
8. Equal liability of all to work. Establishment of industrial armies, especially for agriculture.
9. Combination of agriculture with manufacturing industries; gradual abolition of all the distinction between town and country by a more equable distribution of the populace over the country.
10. Free education for all children in public schools. Abolition of children’s factory labour in its present form. Combination of education with industrial production, &c, &c.

Donald R Laster Jr says
Terry,
The “Left” always calls those who do something that will reveal negative association with their agenda “Right-Wing” anything. The “Left” is always engaging in violence – it is a standard part of their tool kit. But they always eat their own when it causes people to pay attention to what the “Left” is actually doing. Just look at what they call the National Socialist – Right-Wing – when they believe the very thing the International Socialist (i.e. Communist, Marxist, “Progressives”) do and promote the same ideas – such as Supremacy of the State and supremacy of those in control of the State. Everything that John listed was also done by the National Socialist and are still being done today in places like Germany. A person on the “Right” uses reason and logic to advance their cause and would only resort to violence in self-defense. And with the violence of the “Left” the possibility of needing to engage in self-defense may unfortunately be required. I would recommend people read “Law of Nations”. It is the founding document used in writing the Declaration of Independence, Articles of Confederation, and US Constitution, as well as the Constitution of many of the original States of the US.
JOHN says
Sounds like another Soro funded, anti-American, “Big Lie” effort by the New American National Socialists. The sad fact is, that many a feeble minded, public school and ivy league university indoctrinated “Useful Idiot” is going to believe this to be true. Like their predecessors in the Hitler Youth, they do not possess the mental capacity necessary for critical thinking or intellectual objectivity. When confronted by an opposing viewpoint or an idea that conflicts with their programming, they resort to knee-jerk labeling of their opponents with derogatory and dismissive labels such as “Racist”, “Bigot”, “Sexist”, etc. as their minds cannot conceive of a valid answer in response to a criticism that challenges their political philosophy. Until the American majority wakes from it’s half century stupor and confronts these tyrants, we will, unfortunately, see even more “Big Lies” such as this surface as the New American Nazi’s become more desperate to maintain their power.
Jan says
What nobody seems to understand is that the muslim population from which muslim terrorist recruit represents 2% of the US population while rightwing “terrorists” recruit from the roughly 70% white population. So in relative terms muslims kill 35 times more than whites!
Krazy Kafir says
Why does the dhimmi left whitewash Islamic Jihad? Because it is the biggest threat to the very foundation of the left, a foundation built upon the biggest liberal lie ever perpetrated on the human race that, all cultures are equal. Any close examination of Islamic culture based on the Qur’an and Muhammad’s example will expose that profound lie.
Alarmed Pig Farmer says
This scholarly finding buttresses Jane Napolitano’s contention about ten years ago that the greatest threat here wasn’t Moslems but was from disgruntled vets returning from Afghan and Iraq. Bitter right wingers attacking innocent Americans, doesn’t matter whether they’re Moslems, returning vets, or returning vets who also happen to be Moslem. This is deep.
Terry says
During (I think-not sure) early years of Obama (mis) administration, there were “warning signs” of “potential” terrorists.
Some were- anti abortion bumper stickers; pro-NRA bumper stickers, and returning vets.
And they were right-shortly after these came out 1 or 2 returning vets were captured, planning terrorists acts.
OMITTED, THESE VETS WERE CONVERTS TO ISLAM (or, born in Islamic families). None were Christians or Jews.

The fascist Alt-Left, particularly the hypocritical ANTIFA, are the main terrorist movement in the US and they are justifying Mohammedanism. Mohammedans lie, blackmail, rape, rob, torture, and murder in the name of their satanic god and his minion, Muhammad. Mohammedanism itself is fascist; which is why they aligned themselves with Hitler and the Nazis.

I wrote News Week the following message. It should explain the Why of Ms. Mirren Gidda’s Fake News article:

“I read Mirren Gidda’s article “Most Terrorists in the U.S. Are Right Wing, Not Muslim: Report”. This is mere rhetoric and and FAKE NEWS. I scanned Ms. Gidda’s CV and she obviously is a compliant “sheeple” for the New Order and straight out of Britain. Name and face – very ethnic looking, but she only speaks British English with that traditional hiss that comes out with every promise. You had to scrape the bottom scholastically, with Gidda, who only obtained a BA in English Language and Literature; and I believe her CV states she graduated with a 2.1! As a person, she must be very perky, but then I learned that she received the a shortlisting in the “…the One World Media awards’ New Voice Award,” – but note they didn’t choose her! it doesn’t take much of an imagination to get to the understanding that she is being trained as a Globalist-Chatham House pawn. Do you really believe that American are not awake?”

It is clear to a lot of people, well, at least to those who know the Kalergi plan, the Hooton plan, not to mention George-you-know-who etc. I trust therefore that that was a mix of irony, and – errrhh… political expediency or smoothness, and or similar such motivations for the expression above. At least I hope so. Naah, I’m sure of it.
About “right wing extremism”, there was a case in Germany, about 2 years ago, were a colonist threatened and began to assault a tiller girl in a supermarket. Three men interfered, tied the guy to lamp post or tree, and called the police. The immediate result was that the press, “Die Welt, Die Zeit, FAZ, taz” and many others ‘reported’ that neo-Nazis have attacked a poor, ‘mentally stressed out refugee’, abused the poor man and tied him in a horrible, painful and degrading manner to a tree trunk or lamp post. I forgot what it was. However, the police, including the local police chief, praised these fellows for their civic spirit and courage, as well as their restrained. The colonist was **not** beaten or hit, not a single blow. He was wrestled down and tied up. The matter went to sleep. A few weeks ago they were sentenced, prison terms and having to pay compensation. “… a signal is needed to make any such right wing vigilantes understand that in our (???) republic the weak enjoy the full protection of the law…” You read that correctly.
I am Anglo-German, it certainly isn’t my republic, and if Sharia May continuous on her course, I’ll sooner or later be stateless.

More propaganda swill of the fascist Alt-Left; I, for one, am sick of these, the true terrorist movement, having a soap-box to disseminate the Big-Lie. As mentioned BY J L Scharf, ANTIFA is one of the main brokers of terrorism within the U.S.; John, also, mentions the historical alignment of Mohammedanism with fascism, Hitler’s Nazism. A fact that continues to be ignored either through ignorance or knowingly.
The Goebbels-like MSM, educators, and others of this bilious, subversive movement are the true Enemies of the State, not President Trump or those even a smidgen to the political right.
Donald R Laster Jr says
Of course what people have to understand is what the “Left” call “Right” is usually just a variant of the “Left”. Consider International Socialism and National Socialism. Both are “Left-Wing” ideologies involving the creation of State where the State is supreme and those in control of the State rule and decided everything as they want. They often use different tools to accomplish the same goals. But in the end they are simply different sides of the same coin. When one looks behind the curtain all of what the “Left” is calling “Right-Wing” is invariably a “Left-Wing” operation. In the case of National Socialism, the National Socialist were more honest about their agenda, and the International Socialist don’t like that since it causes people to think. In the end the “Right” is about minimal government and the “Left” is about maximal government.
As for Islam the “Left” supports most of what the Islamics support – Supremacy of the State and subjugation of those who disagree with them. And like Islamics the “Left” believes the victim is responsible for what happens to them. Look at how often the “Left” excuses and makes excuse for what people do. People always need to look at what is being promoted and make sure they know what the end goal is. Like nothing an Islamic says can ever be taken at face value, nothing a “Leftist” says can ever be taken at face value. Both use deception and violence to advance their agendas.

This “study” was written for the mathematically illiterate (the correct term is “inumeracy”)–which, unfortunately, is nearly everyone. Consider: by current estimates, there are approximately 325 million people residing in the United States according to Census.gov. Of these, approximately 6 million are mohammedans. The other approximately 319 million are of other creeds, Christians, Jews, Buddhists, Sikhs, agnostics, etc.
Using the very heavily cherry-picked numbers in this report there were 10.5 terrrorist acts per million mohammedans in the period covered by the “study”. Again, using these very selective criteria there were 0.36 terrrorist acts per million non-mohammedans. Put another way, mohammedans are MORE THAN 29 TIMES MORE LIKELY to commit terrorist acts than non-mohammedans. No doubt the author of the “study” will claim that this is a statistical fluke. Care to calculate the odds on that?
There is an old saying that if you want to find a needle in a haystack you don’t make the haystack BIGGER. The author of the “study” is trying to do exactly that.
HugoHackenbush says
My thoughts exactly; the RATE of incidents and deaths per unit of population even accepting the criteria applied for case selection. Interestingly the link to the methodology has been “dead” all day and will likely not become active until interest in the “study” has waned and no one attends to a criticism of the methodology. Here is the link: https://revealnews.org/article/how-we-analyzed-domestic-terror-incidents
PAY NO ATTENTION TO THE ODDS RATIO BEHIND THE CURTAIN! Wonder what a “number needed to kill” calculation would yield i.e. how many importations of persons adhering to Islam does it take to produce one death of an innocent person (akin to “number needed to treat calculations in medicine).

What I consider an example fo the left.
Back in the late 1960’s early 1970’s, I went to a conservative, Jesuit university.
There was a YOUNG AMERICANS FOR FREEDOM chapter, and there were tow candidates for president. One was a pre-law student, quite right wing, 9 and a friend of mine); the other was a woman, multi-lingual, very nice person, but not as popular as the male. She lost a close election. (There were only 40 or 50 or so total members). So, she started a chapter of the STUDENTS FOR A DEMOCRATIC SOCIETY (SDS)- FAR LEFT–SO THAT SHE COULD BE PRESIDENT. had perhaps 15 or 20 members- who joined for social activities- cheaper than a fraternity or sorority (depending upon gender-only 2 in those days). Well, the chapter of the SDS used to HOLD JOINT SOCIALS WITH THE YOUNG AMERICANS FOR FREEDOM, NOT TO DISCUSS POLITICS, BUT IT WAS LESS EXPENSIVE, IF HAD TO RENT A PLACE.
They ( the SDS liberals) only cared about having a good time, for as cheap as possible.
I think, in reality, many of the youths in these rallies, protests, etc- doing it to get to meet members of the opposite sex (or same sex, if that is their choice) and cheaper than bars.

They have absolutely no qualms about making anything up that suits their needs. These agitators have been on such a long lead for such a long time that they take it for granted that they can get away with just inventing or cherry picking facts as they go along.
mach37 says
That has to be a bogus report. If right-wingers were killing people at that rate the left-wing media would be crowing from the rooftops, publishing the killings. I haven’t heard of anywhere near the number of attacks in this report.
Donald R Laster Jr says
Of course it is bogus. The “Left” is always promoting violence to achieve their goals and claiming it is something else. Take a look at every variation of “Left”‘s ideology from International Socialist to National Socialist, each promotes and use violence of some sort to achieve their goals. Then they use lies and deception to further help to achieve their agenda by confusing and distorting events. They also regularly misuse words to deceive people.
The “Left” want maximal government. But some variants of the “Left” have an extreme dislike of other variants. So they pretend they are different. But they are in fact just different sides of the same coin.
mach37 says
After reviewing and thinking about the Investigative Fund’s report, I come to the conclusion that the “right wing threat” is still insignificant compared to the Islamic threat. Right wing extremists are basically random, one-at-a-time, while the jihadist threats tend to be mass killings, planned over long periods of time.
SK says
The US should still work on that. But I see your point.
Donald R Laster Jr says
Except the people that are being called a “right wing threat” are just a variant of the “Left”. Or the opposite side of the same coin.

Those that think globally and act locally have found their soulmates. Left embrace moslems, both think globally and act locally. What “right winger” terrorist do so? The nexus of terror is found in the error of their creed.
Jaladhi says
It is plain and simple all world wide terror attacks are being done by Muslims and Muslims only. The response to these attacks are being termed right wing terror – hmm.. that is a wonderful com=ncoction by the lefty liberals who lie and lie about Islam and Muslims as being peaceful ad nauseam!
Tikvah says
First,we need to STOP speaking ARABIC! “ISLAM” MEANS SUBMISSION in English!!
So,yes,Trump “demonizes SUBMISSION”,as he took an oath to defend & protect OUR Constitution from OTHER FORMS OF GOVERNMENT that want us to “SUBMIT”to their way of life!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Article VI states,”This Constitution shall be the HIGHEST (AKA:AKHBAR…Jefferson knew what he was doing as he was FIGHTING them!) Law of the Land & the judges,(GOVT’.) shall ENFORCE it.”
Gail says
“Terrorist” must be the liberal lefties new talking points memo buzz word! Just last week, liberal lefty abortion mill escorts called us pro-life sidewalk counselors evil and terrorists! These are the ones who escort women inside the abortion mill to have their helpless, innocent babies torturously killed by abortion! If that isn’t evil, then, I don’t know what is evil!
The very much left leaning pro-abortion escorts foolishly call the pro-lifers terrorists and evil, however the pro-lifers are the ones trying to help the women to do the right thing by not killing their babies and helping them with pro-life services, adoption information, real and true healthcare, baby supplies, housing, etc.
There will come a time when they call evil good and good evil. That time is now!

Lloyd Miller says
“This bogus study, like the others before it, is plain disinformation, designed to foster ignorance and complacency about the magnitude of the jihad threat. Why the Leftist media wants to do that is as yet not fully clear.”>>>>>>
The left’s agenda is written by the great State Capitalist Foundations as lead by the Rockefeller Foundation. Islam does not oppose World Government, those they are OK. Right-wing extremists uniformly oppose World Government.
What is the mystery. The State Capitalists have decided Islam is the only practical way to move toward World Government. The post WWII period proved Western Civilization is incompatible with World Government. . . we had our chance!
Lloyd Miller says
Woops! “Therefore, they (Islamics) are OK”
