The National Discourse on Terrorism

Interesting article, linked below. "'Currently, there are 1,018 known hate groups across the country, including neo-Nazis, Klansmen, white nationalists, neo-Confederates, racist skinheads, black separatists, border vigilantes and others. And their numbers are growing.' The ... data shows that hate groups have increased by 69 percent in the last decade. And the so-called 'Patriot' groups have increased nearly 8000 percent since Obama became president... If the news media and political leaders were told there were a thousand violence-prone Muslim groups operating int he United States, can you imagine the reaction? Yet, apart from the glancing attention given incidents like the Sikh temple massacre, the national discourse about terrorism focuses almost exclusively on Muslims." http://www.huffingtonpost.com/john-tirman/domestic-terrorism_b_1767433.html?utm_hp_ref=fb&src=sp&comm_ref=false
