Charles Kurzman, a professor of sociology at the University of North Carolina, and David Schanzer, a terrorism expert at Duke, surveyed law-enforcement agencies and reported their views in The New York Times. Their main finding? “The main terrorist threat in the United States is not from violent Muslim extremists, but from right-wing extremists.”

This David Schanzer????

“I’d say we’re not better off than we were five years ago because with the advent of ISIS the threat has increased. There are more individuals potentially attracted to the ideology because of ISIS’ success and its strength in messaging,” said David Schanzer, director of the Triangle Center on Terrorism and Homeland Security at Duke University, using another term for the Islamic State terrorist group. “Perfection is impossible. We have a pretty strong methodology of trying to identify these individuals before they engage in violence. This is a tough nut to crack because it’s very easy for people to hide their intentions.”
Law enforcement officials told The Washington Times over the weekend that they are investigating the recent travels of Muhammad Youssef Abdulazeez, the gunman the Chattanooga shootings, to determine whether he may have come into contact with Islamic extremists during a trip to Jordan last year.
Top Obama officials have not explicitly labeled the attack as terrorism, though they have indicated that they are open to such a designation.
“I know that the FBI made clear yesterday that they’re looking at a variety of possible motives, including the possibility of domestic terrorism. So that is a part of their ongoing investigation, but I will allow the investigators themselves to provide you with an update when they’re able to,” White House press secretary Josh Earnest told reporters Friday.

Got a link to YOUR "report"? Yep, it was right wing extremists that bombed the WTC the first time, and said next time the towers would fall. Then right wing extremists flew planes into the WTC towers, (they fell) the Pentagon, took the bombs to the Boston Marathon, killed a cop and others, shot up Ft. Hood and killed military people, beheaded their co-worker, tried to kill another one, and shot up the recruiting centers murdering military, just to name a few. What is it with lefty pieces of crap and their never ending defense of muslims, and their never ending attack on decent Americans?

Pure bull but I guess you can get there if you continue to call all the Islamic motivated terrorist "homegrown violent extremist" . Such as the Fort Hood and Chattanooga shooter.
I guess the only people who were surveyed were the elected officials and appointed heads of police departments in Dem controlled cities and Obama appointees.
What Jim means by right wing terrorists are actually those who will fight to protect the US Constitution. Jim and his ilk hate this country, the only way to destroy this country is to get rid of those who could serve as it's protectors.

And, I read the report. What you reported as right wing included racists, anarchists, anti-capitalists and enviro freak types. As I've pointed out before, racism is neither left, nor right exclusively Two of the most racists presidents, LBJ and Wilson, were progressives.
As o the numbers killed, the count of those killed by Islamists appears extremely low, compared with known casualties.

Part of the problem is the reluctance to report Islamic terrorist crimes as such -- Ft Hood -- workplace violence.
Synopsis of Islamists attacks in the US

Yes, what does the refusal of the president and lefties to call islamist terrorism in the US, islamist terrorism, have to do with guns OR Republicans?
Is this thread another "prom night dumpster baby"?
