Interesting point. It seems they were more afraid of the NRA and militia types than the Islamofascists themselves.
With good reason.
When they tried to steal the 2000 election for Gore thru vote fraud, I partook in a few anti-Gore demonstrations. One occured in Philly, where a bunch of freepers got together on a street with signs. Philly being the heavily Dem town that it is, you might have expected some union thugs to try to bust some heads. But "shall issue" concealed carry had passed some years back, and from just the people I know, we had more firepower than most SWAT entry teams. We were not bothered
Another demonstration occurred in the state capitol. I had put together a poster with images from the Net showing vote fraud in Broward county. The TV news babe chatted with me a bit. She was interested in my poster. She then noticed that the handiest piece of cardboard I had as a backing was a bullet-riddled target board
I think more than a few of them realized that a blatent election-theft stodd a good chance of triggering insurrection. They didn't want to win that much
