Thou hypocrite, first cast out the beam out of thine own eye; and then shalt thou see clearly to cast out the mote out of thy brother’s eye.
Matthew 7:5

According to a study by the New America Foundation, a Washington-based research organization that reviewed “terror” attacks on US soil since Sept. 11, 2001, White Americans are the biggest terror threat in the United States and of these, most are anti-government groups or white supremacists.

The review also found that almost twice as many people have died in attacks by right-wing groups in America than have died in attacks by Muslim extremists.

In 26 attacks since 9/11 that the group defined as terror, “the use of violence in pursuit of any political ideology”, 19 were carried out by non-Muslims killing 48 people as of June 24, 2015.

But none of the perpetrators of those 19 have been sent to Guantanamo Bay where terrorists are kept.

Not included in the review were events like Sandy Hook or the Aurora, Colorado movie theater shooting, or acts of violence perpetrated by someone connected to the victims, or involving people who had previous personal disputes like fights.

When a news site ran the headline “White Americans are the biggest terror threat in the United States” some people expressed the objection to “white Americans” instead of “some white Americans” or “white American extremists”’ distinctions usually lacking when “Muslims terrorists” are spoken of.

A recent example of this is when CNN anchors Isha Sesay and John Vause berated Yaser Louati the spokesperson for a Muslim outreach group, the Collective Against Islamophobia ,after the Paris attacks because he did not agree that all Muslims share responsibility for the recent attacks.
He had insisted, “The problem is that you’re still mixing the Muslim community and somehow giving them an affiliation with these terrorists. But [French Muslims] are paying two prices, the price of being targeted by these terrorists and some of the right-wing columnists. We are being asked to choose our camp. Our camp is the French one. Make no mistake about it.”
“If your camp is the French camp, then why is it that no one within the Muslim community there in France knew what these guys were up to?”, Vause asked.
“Sir, the Muslim community has nothing to do with these guys,” Louati insisted. “Nothing. We cannot justify ourselves for the actions of someone who claims to be Muslim.”
“Why not?”, Vause interrupted. “What is the responsibility within the Muslim community to identify people within their own ranks when it comes to people who are obviously training and preparing to carry out mass murder.”
“Sir, they were not from our ranks!” Louati exclaimed. “We cannot accept the idea that these people are from us, they are not. They are just byproducts of our societies exporting their wars abroad and expecting no repercussions back home.”
Co-host Isha Sesay insisted that the “finger of blame is pointing at the Muslim community.”
“This is a very complicated issue,” Vause said, concluding the segment. “I have yet to hear the condemnation from the Muslim community on this.”

But there was condemnation.

Yet, where is the condemnation from the Christian community when people in the name of Christianity shoot up or burn down the places of worship of other religions, the Klan, which claims to be Christian, takes some of the actions it does, or when pastors call for the organized and systematic execution of Gay people?

There is little to no condemnation.

When it comes to domestic terrorism, it is known that the jihadists are all Muslims of various races, ethnicities, and nationalities, but that not all Muslims being Jihadists is conveniently brushed aside, while most of the non-jihadists are white and largely Christian, but it is simply acknowledged that not all Whites or Christians are part of that.

John Horgan, a terrorism expert at the University of Massachusetts Lowell, told The New York Times. “There’s an acceptance now of the idea that the threat from jihadi terrorism in the United States has been overblown. And there’s a belief that the threat of right-wing, anti-government violence has been underestimated.”

And the Department of Homeland Security has warned that law enforcement would be the main target of sovereign citizen violence “during routine law enforcement encounters at a suspect’s home, during enforcement stops, and at government offices.”

This group does not commit its acts in response to those initiated by law enforcement, but often advertises these actions as their intended action for things as simple as traffic stops. Opposition to government authority is its ideology.

They’re committing acts of terrorism.

A 2014 report by the National Consortium for the Study of Terrorism and Responses to Terrorism (START), law enforcement agencies considered sovereign citizen extremists the most dangerous terror threats in the United States. They were ahead of foreign Islamic extremists.

Consider:

Non-jihadist terrorists have killed more people in the United States than jihadists have since 9/11. They and those who failed to kill or who were arrested before committing an act of terrorism; sovereign citizen extremists, whom some in law enforcement consider the most dangerous terror threat facing the United States; and neo-Nazi groups which have threatened acts of terrorism, are made up of White Christian Americans.

But we still seem to want to believe that Muslims and foreigners are the main practitioners of terrorism and the gravest terror threat facing the United States.

We have fallen victim of convenient stereotypes, and this is promoted by a lazy media and expedience seeking politicians.

We need enemies that are not like us so that it is easier to hate them.

And considering the racial make-up of the country, at least in the minds of some who still see the country as majority pure Euro-centric white, and the claim this is a Christian nation, non-White, non-Christians fit the bill.

So it’s easy to forget that
-the Wisconsin Sikh Temple massacre of August 5, 2012,
-the murder of Dr. George Tiller on May 31, 2009,
-the Tennessee Valley Unitarian Universalist Church shooting on July 27, 2008,
-the murder of Dr. John Britton on July 29, 1994,
-the Centennial Olympic Park bombing on July 27, 1996,
-the murder of Barnett Slepian byJames Charles Kopp on October 23, 1998,
-the Planned Parenthood bombing, Brookline, Massachusetts, in 1994,
-the suicide attack on IRS building in Austin, Texas, on February 18, 2010,
-the murder of Alan Berg on June 18, 1984,
-and the Oklahoma City bombing on April 19, 1995
were all perpetrated by White Americans who claimed Christianity as their religion, and who cited their religious beliefs as part or all of their motivation.

We need to start looking inward for our problems, and stop letting ourselves be misled by those who profit by the misleading.
