The Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC) published a study illustrating
that right-wing extremists have caused more violence in America than
domestic “jihadis,” reported Vice News.
The SPLC’s report
duly noted the tragedy of 9/11, where international jihadists killed
over 3,000 Americans in a single attack. However, since that day, the
SPLC found that “A large number of independent studies have agreed that
since the 9/11 mass murder, more people have been killed in America by
non-Islamic domestic terrorists than jihadists.”
From April 2009 to February 2015, there were 63 incidents of
terrorism on American soil, and most of those were carried out by
far-right extremists. Vice News reported that these incidents include
attacks on abortion clinics, government agents, and the Fort Hood
shooting. These attacks were committed by American “patriots,”
anti-government gun nuts and ultra-religious zealots.
“We felt that the report demonstrated pretty clearly that some
attention should be paid to the domestic radical right,” said Ryan Lenz,
a writer at the SPLC’s Intelligence Project. “The domestic radical
right has killed more people than radical Islam since 9/11 in the United
States, without a doubt.”
