Most of our terrorists have valid IDs and passports, and are home-grown Americans.

They bomb abortion clinics. And gay bars. Shoot an abortion doctor in front of his family. Bomb black churches. Lynch people (4700 of them). Blow up the Oklahoma Federal Building.

All home-grown.

And, that doesn't even count domestic violence.

VIOLENCE AGAINST WOMEN
IN THE UNITED STATES

MURDER . Every day four women die in this country as a result of domestic violence, the euphemism for murders and assaults by husbands and boyfriends. That's approximately 1,400 women a year, according to the FBI. The number of women who have been murdered by their intimate partners is greater than the number of soldiers killed in the Vietnam War.

BATTERING . Although only 572,000 reports of assault by intimates are officially reported to federal officials each year, the most conservative estimates indicate two to four million women of all races and classes are battered each year. At least 170,000 of those violent incidents are serious enough to require hospitalization, emergency room care or a doctor's attention.
