A professor at American University recently taught students that right-wing terrorism in the United States is actually more of a pressing threat to American citizens than Islamic terrorism based on the number of attacks, not the death toll.
Professor Erin Kearns said Americans seem most afraid of Islamic terrorists, but that so-called right-wing extremists here have actually committed a higher number of attacks.
I would guess that a handful of you are probably like, Oh, its some radical of Islam, people who are using that to justify their violence, Kearns had said during a May lecture regarding what she contends might be ones first reaction when learning of an attack.
That is a common, common assumption, the professor continued. In reality, if we look at the past 10 years, only about 12 percent of terrorist attacks in the U.S. have been committed by Muslims.
But attacks perpetrated by jihadists get more coverage, politicians talk about them more, media talks about them more, Kearns added. So it is understandable why the average American has this frankly inaccurate view of what the threat is. When we actually look at it, over half the attacks in the past 10 years have been committed by some right-wing extremist group.

I think what you are calling personal secularism there is devolving into some kind of personal licentiousness that commands consensus building of whatever licentious behavior they favor personally to be accepted as normal behavior.
The proof of the acceptance to them is the celebration of that wonderful behavior they worship. Little gods they are.
Maybe there are better words to describe it, it is a known communist goal. I'm preaching to the choir here.
