    It would be nice if we didn’t allow “news” from right wing think-tanks.

    Much of its funding has come from conservative and Republican-connected large donors, especially via Donors Trust. Chris Krug is the foundation’s president.

      Why?

      Are the article misleading or non-factual?

        Quite misleading.

        Far-right terror poses bigger threat to US than Islamist extremism post-9/11

          I don’t get how exactly do you think it’s misleading?

          The article is talking about a report by the U.S. House Committee on Homeland Security and discussing it, how does the article you linked show the problem in the article I posted?

            Because it suggests the big problem is Islamic terrorism. I know you literally only found out within the last hour that Christian terrorism was a huge problem in the U.S., but you still don’t seem to understand the scope of right-wing Christian terrorism vs. Islamic terrorism. And sources like this don’t want you to understand it.

            Also, the House is run by extremist Republicans. Of course they’re going to find Islamic terrorism to be the problem.

        Misleading, mainly because it is written from the perspective desired by wealthy conservative donor.

            How about I tell you why I’m done engaging with you.

            This is YOUR quote,

            Wait a second, are there many Christian terrorists? I’m asking this because I haven’t looked at statistics on other religions besides Islam ( I don’t know any in other religions).

            I DONT KNOW ANY OTHER RELIGIONS–what?

            Also here is a direct quote by ME

            because it is written from the perspective desired by wealthy conservative donor

      Militant, nationalistic, white supremacist violent extremism has increased in the United States. In fact, the number of far-right attacks continues to outpace all other types of terrorism and domestic violent extremism. Since 1990, far-right extremists have committed far more ideologically motivated homicides than far-left or radical Islamist extremists, including 227 events that took more than 520 lives.[1]

      I’m asking this because I haven’t looked at statistics on other religions besides Islam ( I don’t know any in other religions).

      It wouldn’t surprise me, as most religions include violence against other religions in their books.

        There are tons of them, but the right wants you to focus on hating brown people.
