Statistics Show White Supremacy is a Bigger Threat to the U.S. Than Radical Muslims

Despite what Donald Trump and many other politicians have told you, the major threat to America isn’t Muslim extremism. In fact, statistics show that the real danger lies with domestic extremists who aren’t of the Muslim faith.

The New York Times reported back in June that since Sept. 11, 2001, almost twice as many people have died at the hands of white supremacists and other non-Muslim extremists than by radical Muslims. Using data compiled by New America, a Washington Research center, a study found that 48 people have been killed by extremists who are not Muslim—including the mass killings in Charleston, S.C.—compared to the 26 by self-proclaimed jihadists.  However, this does not factor in yesterday’s tragic shooting or less publicized incidents like the Las Vegas couple who murdered two police officers and left a Swastika on one of the bodies.

These stats reveal a vast difference between public perception and the number of actual cases in which Muslim extremists have claimed American lives. So why aren’t more people outraged about domestic terrorists? Because then we’d have to admit that white supremacy is still a problem.

While the public hasn't quite caught on yet, scholars say that the issue needs to be addressed. “There’s an acceptance now of the idea that the threat from jihadi terrorism in the United States has been overblown,” Dr. John G. Horgan, who studies terrorism at the University of Massachusetts said. “And there’s a belief that the threat of right-wing, antigovernment violence has been underestimated.”

That’s an understatement. 

the FBI has been concerned with the rise of state militias for a long time. US may not have much to fear from radical islam now but that does not mean there is no fear. Lots of resources are deployed especially in this area.

Radical Islam takes more lives throughout the world. White Racists just want an Anglo USA. And a threat to world peace.

Can't blame them. Everybody coming to America demanding all sorts of rights. Suh the white fella must have his.

Bush killed more people in the war on Iraq than radical islam

All over the world.

US got them beat in that regard
