How the h@ll do you have time to watch/read all that and still make almost 19,000 posts on this forum? LOL.
Hey, I do watch Fox news. I hate them. But, I want to hear what they have to say. I take it you watch/read all the above because of the same reasons.
I would like to think the "many others" you mentioned also includes ABC news. Hey, it's just another news broadcast.

I'll grant you Tim McVeigh wasn't KKK. You remember him? The guy whose observation was the children he killed in Oklahoma City were "collateral damage?" Terry Nichols never had much to say. Randy Weaver and his gang took a stand against the United States, but I don't recall that they were KKK.
Unabomber, Minute Men, survivalists, vigilante border patrols ~ OK, those last couple of groups, yeah, probably KKK.
But whether these men/groups were/are KKK or Christian fundies or snake handlers, what they all have in common is domestic terrorism. Right here, our own citizens, killing us in the name of whatever cause blows up their skirt.
Oh, wow! I betcha good money not a single man is Muslim.

Actually, I may not have worded the comment from the ABC news man perfectly. He may have said most terrorists are muslim, not "nearly all" as I posted in the original post. Still, with KKK, unibomber, McVeigh and a handful of others, MOST are muslim.
Let's ask this another way. Which form of terrorism does America fear the most? KKK, people like McVeigh or muslim extremists?
Good comeback Lea on other forms of terrorism though.

No. It's BS. Pure and simple. Do a little research on the history of terrorism and tell us again that "most terrorist are Muslim". Have a little fear mongering with your Hummus.

Then you agree with misinformation, too. If you said that the Jihadists are fer better at PR than other terror groups, I would agree. But to say that "most terrorists are Muslims" is to substitute fear with knowledge. Not a good plan — unless you're a right wing nutbar.

Is the KKK past tense? Are the anti-abortion assassins, bombers and harassers past tense? Are the Neo-Nazis and Skinheads past tense? Is the Bush administration past tense? Open your eyes.

You're right Steve. I see an anti abortion assassin on the news every day. Neo Nazi and Skinheads killings on the news every week. Yep, each one of these group does more damage than the radical muslims every day/week. The point is which one do we hear trouble from the MOST. Open your eyes.

If you're going to cite sources, cite them accurately. What the ABC reporter did was quote or paraphrase unmistakably ignorant remarks from the likes of Jim Demint and Mike Gallagher.
Demint, while blaming the attack on Obama, is single-handedly holding up Obama's TSA Director appointment because he doesn't think that baggage handlers should be able to join a union. In other words, blocking baggage handlers from collective bargaining is more important to Demint than installing the person responsible for all U.S. air travel safety and security. Gallagher is just another far right wing talking head who said that anyone with a Muslim-sounding name must go through a separate security line at airports and train stations. Y'know, likely terrorists with names like Barack Hussein Obama.
