White Americans Are The Statistically Biggest Terror Threat in the United States… So Why Are You So Worried About Muslims?

When one thinks of who the greatest terror threat to Americans is many images come to mind.

This current election would love to have you think that Muslims, people of color and marginalized peoples are a threat to the fabric of America
Many are led to believe America’s number one enemy are Islamic militants, or are the so called undocumented “rapists and murderers” but those who believe so are sorely mistaken. The group that carries out the most terror attacks on American soil are White Americans.

As Peter Gelling of the Global Post writes:

White Americans are the biggest terror threat in the United States, according to a study by the New America Foundation. The Washington-based research organization did a review of “terror” attacks on US soil since Sept. 11, 2001 and found that most of them were carried out by radical anti-government groups or white supremacists.

Almost twice as many people have died in attacks by right-wing groups in America than have died in attacks by Muslim extremists. Of the 26 attacks since 9/11 that the group defined as terror, 19 were carried out by non-Muslims. Yet there are no white Americans languishing inside the prison camp at Guantanamo Bay. And there are no drones dropping bombs on gatherings of military-age males in the country’s lawless border regions.
