I think the article in the OP made one particularly interesting point - but its a shame no one seems to have picked up on it.
That being that Islamist terrorists tend to be more random, designed specifically just to cause chaos and maximum casualties - whereas far-right extremists tend to be more targeted. Though the Oklahoma bombing seems to be an exception.
Also the data is specific to the US situation, which is quite different to the situation faced in many European countries. For one thing, with few exceptions, the American Islamist threat comes from foreign imports - basically parachuted in for no other purpose than to commit terrorism. The 'native' muslim population in the US is actually very well integrated. Whereas the Islamist threat in Europe tends to be home grown - where the muslim populations there are less integrated into society.
you are generalising of course..
home grown..
is usually someone born in the country but of immigrant parents... even the Irish in America supported the IRA with huge amounts of money...
we need to look at us all being on the same PAGE when it comes to terrorism
whilst we all fight over who is the worst and who starts it..
these groups are laughing and killing...and more importantly.......... GROWING
because we dont work together
and they know it..
we are rubbish when it comes to fighting the same enemy! always have been and at this rate always will be.
if these small groups! because thats what they were until ISIS...
can get through to our youth.....and brainwash them..
why cant we do the same???...
you know
why dont you???????..
thats right because we are too busy fighting each other...
at least these guys work together with the same aim in mind..
we always wan t to be the one whos right all the time...
even our political parties all hate each other.. pathetic.
