The United States Extremist Crime Database (ECDB) on its face isnt alarming. Im not even sure if this database is official or operational but people tracking crime isnt new, nor is suspect. You should note that this database tracks non-violent far-rightcrime as well.
What I do find alarming, albeit par for the course, is the keywords under which this database article is searchable:
Keywords
Al Qaeda related crimes,
database construction,
domestic terrorism,
extremist crime,
far-right crime,
political violence
The investigator of this University of Maryland project (http://www.start.umd.edu/start/research/projects/project.asp?id=43) is Steven Chermak (http://www.start.umd.edu/start/research/investigators/investigator.asp?id=47).
This is how these people think: if you have to fight to maintain your liberties then youre a criminal. They know the Constitution is being shredded, and theyre prepared to track the extremist response. Apparently, only the far-right is capable of extremism worth being tracked.
Its just amazing that 1) leftist crime isnt tracked in the same database, whether ideologically-motivated or not; and 2) Al-Qaeda attacks are grouped in with non-violent crimes committed by the far-right. Well, whos surprised?

Yep, they consider us a hate site, and the feeling is reciprocated.
