WASHINGTON — In the 14 years since Al Qaeda carried out attacks on New York and the Pentagon, extremists have regularly executed smaller lethal assaults in the United States, explaining their motives in online manifestoes or social media rants.
But the breakdown of extremist ideologies behind those attacks may come as a surprise. Since Sept. 11, 2001, nearly twice as many people have been killed by white supremacists, antigovernment fanatics and other non-Muslim extremists than by radical Muslims: 48 have been killed by extremists who are not Muslim, compared with 26 by self-proclaimed jihadists, according to a count by New America, a Washington research center.
The slaying of nine African-Americans in a Charleston, S.C., church last week, with an avowed white supremacist charged with their murders, was a particularly savage case. But it is only the latest in a string of lethal attacks by people espousing racial hatred, hostility to government and theories such as those of the “sovereign citizen” movement, which denies the legitimacy of most statutory law. The assaults have taken the lives of police officers, members of racial or religious minorities and random civilians.

Would honor killings be considered terrorism? Those are usually ignored by the feds and the media.
I got the count at 60 Islamist attacks. Since, as others have pointed out, Muslim make up 1% of the population, the NYT article is complete and total crap.
...And, the list leaves a bunch of terrorist attacks out. I guess they just included the ones they could think of off the tops of their pointy heads.
Yeah, they have to ‘start somewhere’ so let’s make it the day AFTER Muslims kill 3,000 American citizens.
Face it, the New York Times sucks... and they’re the reason newspapers are failing across the country. Even brain-dead liberal true believers are capable of seeing the lie in the piece of garbage.

SCOTT SHANE hit a new low.
so at least they are admitting that half of them were by 1% of the population.
Well, they’re the ones writing the paper. Why wouldn’t the skew things to fit their agenda? Now when you’re talking to one of the NYT’s 2,000 readers they’ll say, “Actually, right wingers kill a whole lot more than Muslims.” It won’t matter that Muslims are both a small %, and that they study ignored about 34 murders.

Thank you for the info. That sounds reasonable by the few years I looked at
Even the liberals on Reddit have completely dismantled this article in their news subreddit.
This is complete bullcrap.
Kind of how the left claims global warming too- deliberately omit any data that does not support their hypothesis.
Apparently he forgot the Boston Marathon, the Ft Hood Massacre, the killing of the recruiters in Arkansas, and whatever else didn’t fit his fantasy.
Not to mention omitting all the gang murders. NOt terrifying enough?
So what’s the RATE of murder and mayhem per sub-group?
I’ll stay away from young middle eastern males, thanks.
Was he really a supremacist. Or did the racism coming out of washington push him over the edge.
So 99% of American terrorists killed twice as many as terrorists with a religion comprising 1% of the population?
More people have been killed by whites than by muslims. But how many more have been killed by blacks than whites and muslims combined?
Muslim isn't a race, it's a false religion.
What's your evidence?
black people don’t kill anyone I guess!!
