FTA: Ever since last week's Colorado shooting in an abortion clinic, an argument has emerged over who exactly commits the most terror in America, with one narrative claiming it is mostly committed by conservative, militia types.
So I decided to look through every act of terror in the United States since 9/11/01 and compile a list of attacks by motive. Turns out the vast majority of terror attacks are committed by environmentalist and animal rights terrorists, according to the government. They commit the most in terms of number of attacks and property damage inflicted, by far, burning and bombing countless homes and buildings.
As far as deaths and injuries inflicted, radical Islamic terror inflicts ten times more casualties than any other terror motive.
This is official government data. The Department of Homeland Security compiles statistics on terror incidents worldwide via the National Consortium for the Study of Terrorism and Responses to Terrorism's Global Terrorism Database, which is available to the public. It lists all acts which conform to the following definition of terrorism:
"The use of illegal force and violence by a non-state actor to attain a political, economic, religious, or social goal through fear, coercion, or intimidation."
NOTE: The "Unknown" category is attacks in which, for example, bombs were sent to multiple businesses in the same industry, which were judged to be terror but with unclear motives. The "Other" category are a handful of lone attacks for random motives. Anti-border patrol, anti-Russia, pro-Cuba, even pro-marijuana, for example.
Note 2: The author of the meme, by his own admission, mistakenly wrote "Islam" instead of "Islamist".
Note 3: My opinion is that a) this falsifies the left's bogus claims that most terrorism is by white Christians, but b) that each individual deserves to be judged solely by what he does, and not by what others do who happen to be of the same race, religion, sexual orientation or economic class.
