This is not true by any measure. The much-publicized “study” from last summer that purported to show that “right-wing extremists” were more of a domestic threat than Islamic jihadists has been exploded even on its own skewed terms by the Orlando jihad massacre: it was based on the claim that right-wingers had killed more people in the U.S. since 9/11 than jihadis had, but now, with Orlando, that most certainly isn’t true, if it ever was.

“Member Acevedo reminded the Council that the threat from right-wing extremists domestically is just as real as the threat from Islamic extremism.” This is even worse. Acevedo is almost certainly referring to the European groups that are growing in numbers now in opposition to the massive Muslim migrant influx. But where are the acts of terror they have committed? Where are the mass murders? Acevedo, the mayor of Austin, Texas, is echoing the ominous claim of the political and media elites, that resistance to jihad is the equivalent of jihad terror itself. As far as Acevedo and others like him are concerned, surrender and submission are the only option.
