Right wing Extremists more of a terrorist than Muslims.

What The Funk?

Despite the great deal of Islamaphobia present constantly in the US, statistics show most terrorism comes from right-wing groups than Muslims. Almost 56% vs 12% Muslim, concerning domestic terror attacks in the US, and the number is rising.

So consider this, the next time you sway into xenophobic behavior of someone of Middle-Eastern decent, that most of the world looks at us, especially the conservative side of this country with as much fear as we do the 9-11 terrorists.

Both types of group deal in fear -- specifically xenophobia. And when you look at the ideals they both profess, they sure look a lot alike. No wonder they get compared a lot. Both are dangerous to the advance of civilization.

After living through the terrorist campaign by the Catholic IRA in the '70s, I don't really see much difference between Islamic terrorism, Catholic terrorism and Protestant fundamentalism. They all have the same root problem.
