What's a bigger threat in the U.S? Right Wing Extremism or Jihadists?

[JustAlex]

It's time to call it the way it is.....Extreme Right wing TERRORISM is real and IS a threat to the U.S.

The biggest point I see is that this Right Wing TERRORIST shouted "Heil Hiter" and yet almost no one in the media calls him what he is....a terrorist.

BUT...if he were Muslim and shouted "Allahu Akbar" and killed people....the media more than likely would've made a MUCH bigger deal and more than likely called the man a terrorist.

Agree. Terrorist should be exempt from the 8th amendment and subject to torture and execution in the most cruel and unusual way possible.

The biggest threat facing the US is people who perpetuate the "us vs them" mentality. Doesn't matter if it's Christian v Muslim, atheist v theist, Rep v Dem. It doesn't matter. Every person who buys into the mentality is a major threat to the US and world.

For the last six years I would say I is the left wing party. Which were all for liberty and justice. Now we have less and less!

American melting pot out,multiculturalism in,new immigrants are segregating themselves and keeping their culture,which if it had worked they wouldn't have immigrated to America in the first place

It's own paranoid citizens are the biggest threat. They refuse to look out into the real World and see what is actually there, only because they have been told that it's full of boogymen.

Jihadists & that is just my opinion so hang me if you wish. Terror goes on everywhere but the JH are the real threat to Americans & even their own nations.

I think you may have been right with melting pot, but the attitude that people from everywhere can all become the same different thing. Canada is built on more of a mosaic social structure, constantly building a nation further upon itself with what is new, instead of insisting everyone become the same thing.
That's actually communism.

Very true. Obama has taken this mentality and made it his own art form. While I knew I did not like Obama's politics when he took office I was naive enough to think he could unify the country. What has happened instead may be his biggest legacy.

I think it ramped up with Bush and you'd be where you are regardless of Obama, but that's sort of the entire point; trying to lay blame.
