Terrorism, by its nature, isn’t confined to a single ethnic group or religion. ISIS or Al Qaeda are undoubtedly a serious threat, but many American communities are more at risk from gang violence, white supremacist groups, or militia movements. Indeed, according to FBI statistics cited in the summit’s report, less than 6 percent of domestic terror attacks are carried out by Muslims.

Really? When was the last time the KKK hijacked a couple of jets and flew them into office buildings? Or the Weekend Warriors planted bombs on busses?

This is more than simple denial. This is an organized plan to expand the anti-terror powers of the government and target them toward conservative groups.

There are nominal Muslims just like there are nominal Catholics. But when nominal Muslim kids show up at the Mosque, they are more susceptible to radicalization than the kids of the nominal catholic who decide to visit their local Catholic priest. Sorry, libs.

Whatever those statistics are they are lies. As Mark Twain said, there are lies, damned lies and statistics.

Well, if the dimocrats are consistent with their current narrative, shouldn’t they be giving out jobs to the Tea Party?

Of all cities that should know this is a lie - Boston should be at the top of the list.

Followed by New York.

The FBI was 'citing' self serving hysteria put out by the Southern Poverty Law Center. It's a fancy version of Nixon's enemies list.

The Boston Globe should assign reporters to investigate some of these domestic so-called terrorist acts... Ask for the top 300 non-Muslim 'terrorist' acts then randomly choose 8 to study and report on... The Globe has a fairly good reputation... they need to maintain their older standards.

Wonder if that six percent include workplace “accidents.”

The Southern Poverty Law Center is a hate group.
