The point was that Sam wanted a list of right wing terrorist acts in the United States, so I gave him one. I thought I was just being polite and answering his question, actually. > You count 75 acts of domestic terrorism from the right in 15 years...i > wonder how many incidents of foreign terrorism were committed by Muslim > extremists during that same time period.....?? Probably a whole lot. As you may or may not be aware, I'm against groups that radicalize Muslims as well. I never made any comparison between Islamic terrorist groups and right wing groups in the US. The question was "how many terror acts are being committed by right wing groups in the US?" with the implication that it was negligible. I would suggest that the list I provided shows that the incidence is not negligible. It has absolutely nothing to do with Islamic groups however and I made no equivalence between the two. > Listen, I hate the right....i hate right wing radicals....but we must resist > the urge to suggest that the delusions of the few are a valid argument > against the many, lest we open Pandora's snatch. I don't get it. Why is it bad form to call out individuals and groups that preach hate, suspicion, fear and violence? Are those groups directly responsible for the individuals that carry out horrid, violent acts? No. Those individuals are responsible and I have never said otherwise. But how in the hell do you think that people find their minds wandering down certain paths that bring them to the point where they are acting out these ungodly mental scenes in real life? Do you think that people are born violent racist assholes? Do you know any babies that stockpile weapons because they thing you want to take their guns and establish a new world order? Have any friends with toddlers that carve swastikas in their foreheads? You give me a theory that shows how someone grows up to be the kind of guy that goes out to a lynching without being influenced by anyone and I will happily declare all individuals, groups and media free from responsibility for spewing hate filled trash.
