Naming the name

On April 19, 1995, a terrorist planted a bomb at the front of a federal building in Oklahoma City, blowing up the building and killing 168 people.

On July 17, 1996, a terrorist detonated explosives in Atlanta during the Summer Olympics, killing 1 person and injuring 111.

On June 17, 2015, a terrorist went into an African American church, was welcomed into its prayer group, and proceeded to kill 9 of the congregants.

On November 27, 2015, a terrorist invaded a Planned Parenthood clinic in Colorado Springs, killing 3, injuring 9.

All of theses terrorists were white.

See what I did there? I called acts of terror for what they are, "terror". Which seems to be something that we as a country cannot do.

This is a very good read by Liberal Librarian. I first started reading his work at The Obama Diary.

1. ...

[leveymg]

2. Fascism is another word for it.

It can happen here, and it did.

[sheshe2]

3. Yes napkinz, exactly right.

[napkinz]

8. it comes down to this ...

[Iliyah]

4. PP shooter falls under mentally ill, loner

GOPers/RWers/Pro-Lifers still are spouting the same bulls**t.

[Live and Learn]

17. I'd bet most terrorists fall under that umbrella too.

Happy people don't commit atrocities. That is why Bernie wants to solve the root problems.

[napkinz]

5. the real threat ...

[napkinz]

6. "very interesting" ...

[jonno99]

10. FYI - one of the stats from thereprimandproject is a little misleading:

"There is one mass shooting (defined as at least 4 people being shot in one event) per day in the U.S."

- this stats applies to all ethnic groups - not just whites
- this stat includes injured

[Kath1]

22. Right on.

Thank you, Truth is wonderful and so refreshing.

[Yorktown]

7. Sorry, false analogy

The white shooters do not share a common ideology (racism, fundamentalist Xian, anti-state,)

But Islamist shooters share one platform, one goal, and their goals are supported at many mosques influenced by the Muslim Brotherhood and financed by petrodollars.

Playing false equivalences is a dangerous way to get numb to the most pressing danger of the two. It's not because the problem hasn't grown to EU proportions that it isn't there.

(Edit: besides, do RW nutjobs benefit from the manpower and financial support of a large fraction of a 1.6Bn community overseas? which group has the strongest backing? RW nuts or islamist nuts?)

Other than that, what point is the article making? That radical Islam isn't the only violent group in town? Major find..

[jeff47]

9. Uh...yeah, they do share a common ideology.

Take a look into each of those terrorists. You'll find extremely similar ideologies.

Playing false equivalences is a dangerous way to get numb to the most pressing danger of the two.

Yes, clearly we should pay more attention to the people who can only hurt us when an incompetent is in the White House. Instead of the group that attacks us so many times a year we don't even count the dead.

[Yorktown]

13. RW loons are a hodge podge with no support. Not so with islamism.

Islamism is a ideologically coherent movement with lots of financial and popular backing.

Makes it far more dangerous overtime than loon RW Christians whose power base is ebbing.

(evangelicals are on the way out in the developed world, and they know it)

[Hekate]

16. The men who murder Planned Parenthood doctors, nurses, stalk their kids, burn the clinics....

... I have to tell you this: they ARE organized and have been for years. Look up Eric Rudolph. He was on the run for years, with widespread support. The ones who actually go to prison are hailed as martyrs -- yes, martyrs, the religious terminology. They ALL identify as Christians. They are connected via the Internet.

Now some of them are "loners," but due to the widespread nature of Internet sites, books, hate radio and enablers like Fiorina, they can be classified as stochastic terrorists even if they have no friends IRL.

[Yorktown]

20. Agreed, but that's still very limited

RW loons may connect to each other via the net (monitored by the FBI),
but they don't have the ideological, financial backing islamists have.

People who would give kudos to the PP attacker will be ostracized in the US,
while CAIR will find excuses to attackers of draw-muhamad contests.

[Hekate]

26. You really do not get it, and I am sorry for that. nt

[Yorktown]

27. I perfectly understood and answered

Islamists: broad base of support, nationally and internationally.

RW nutjobs: narrow base of support nationally, none internationally.

[Bernardo de La Paz]

18. Islamism is an ideologically diverse movement with not much popular backing.

McVeigh and the abortion doctor assasins were not loons.

Few of the 1.3 billion muslims back violent terrorists. A higher percentage of Irish christians backed terrorists. Irish terrorists had pockets of financial support (including much funding from Americans), just like radical islam has pockets of funding but not widespread funding.

[Yorktown]

21. Half the 1.6 Bn Muslims back stoning/death for apostasy/homosexuality/blasphemy/adultery.

That's a LOT of popular backing for violence for imaginary crimes.

I don't think half 1% of the US Christians back death for PP centers.

This is what I referred to as a larger support base.

[840high]

24. ...+1

[bravenak]

11. Hey!!!

[oberliner]

12. We as a country can't call Timothy McVeigh a terrorist?

I would respectfully disagree with that claim.

[Hekate]

14. Kick and wrecked

I thought we would get better. I thought we would fix this. I thought we were better than this.

[brer cat]

15. PBO tried to warn us.

"Barack Obama's first Secretary of Homeland Security was going to put out a report that the greatest threat of terrorism to the United States came from well-armed, Christian, white men. The led to the howls of the Right, saying that evil, Marxist Kenyan Obama was criminalizing God-fearing Christians. Of course, the history of the past 7 years has shown that Pres. Obama's security service was correct."

[Yorktown]

23. One of my cats does about that IRL

[KT2000]

19. and they were taken alive nt

[840high]

25. What did we call Ft. Hood?

[napkinz]

28. kick
