Good thing that NYT and other media owners did not decide to study if automobiles or cops are more or less deadly than foreign interventions blowback events.
Charleston debate: Is domestic extremism bigger threat than terrorism?
A new study suggests that more people in the US are killed by right-wing extremists than Islamist terrorists. The Charleston massacre has rekindled the debate.

The Charleston, S.C., church attack is serving to underscore the idea that when it comes to the threat of terrorism on American soil, fear is often in the eye of the beholder. Loaded with deep emotional currency since 9/11, the word “terrorism” usually evokes images of radical Islam and the billions of dollars spent on massive domestic spying operations and local surveillance of mosques and Muslim businesses by law enforcement agencies like the New York Police Department. But Charleston has already rekindled debate about what constitutes terrorism, and a new study is pushing the conversation further. It finds that, since 9/11, there have been nearly twice as many people killed in the United States by antigovernment radicals, white supremacists, and other non-Muslim groups than by jihadists – though both numbers are vanishingly small.

Study: Domestic Extremists Are More Deadly Than Jihadis In The U.S.
Jun 24, 2015 By Desire Thompson
The image of terrorism in America is slowly changing. New studies indicate White supremacists, anti-government persons, and other non-Islamic extremists have killed more people in the country than radical Muslims. Washington research center New America studied acts of terror in the country since September 11, 2001, reports the New York Times. In the past 14 years, deadly right-wing attacks have claimed the lives of 48 people, compared to the 26 deaths by jihad parties. In total, 19 acts have been carried out by non-Muslim extremists, while seven were committed by Islamic militants. Some of the 19 acts include the 2012 Sikh Temple Shooting, the 2014 Kansas Jewish Center Shooting, and the recent AME Emanuel Church Shooting in South Carolina. The Sandy Hook and Virginia Tech shootings were not included in the data. Scholars are standing by the study, saying the image of terror in America has been skewed since the al-Qaeda attacks on New York and the Pentagon on 9/11. Over 3,000 people were killed on that day, instilling Americans with a deep-rooted fear of Muslim extremists. Dr. Charles Kurzman of the University of North Carolina thinks the study will surprise the general public – but not police – since law enforcement has been polled on the matter in the past. Kurzman’s study asked 382 officers to name the top threats in their jurisdiction. Close to 74 percent stated anti-government violence and 39 percent listed “al-Qaeda-inspired” terror acts. According to the New York Times:“Law enforcement agencies around the country have told us the threat from Muslim extremists is not as great as the threat from right-wing extremists,” said Dr. Kurzman, whose study is to be published by the Triangle Center on Terrorism and Homeland Security and the Police Executive Research Forum.Related

I hate the sight of the American flag. Modern American patriotism is an absolute joke. People pretending like they have something to be proud while White people are being murdered daily in the streets. Many veterans believe we owe them something for “protecting our way of life” or “protecting our freedom”. But im not sure what way of life they are talking about. How about we protect the White race and stop fighting for the jews. I will say this though, I myself would have rather lived in 1940’s American than Nazi Germany, and no this is not ignorance speaking, it is just my opinion. So I dont blame the veterans of any wars up until after Vietnam, because at least they had an American to be proud of and fight for.
