There's this obscure goverment entity that tracks terrorists and tries to bring them to justice. I'm sure Think Porgress references them judicously in this article. They're small and do mostly behind the scenes work so it's very difficult to find information about them. Very hard to track them down via Google, but I think if you try searching for FMO? No, try GNU? It's some sort of Bureau on the Federal level that does some sort of Investigative type work. The acronym is not too catchy.

I'll see if I can dig something up from them. Maybe the list can be cross referenced in the extensive one that Think Progress did? I'll check. It's hardly worth mentioning them, nobody usually hears anything about this agency.

Let's see here, Muslims make up 1% of the population, Caucasians make up 78% of the population if you include Hispanics and 63% if you don't, let's go with the latter figure.

Adjusting for population, and using your figure, that makes a Muslim 9x more likely to commit an act of terrorism than a Caucasian.

I think I found something.

Like I was saying this was very difficult to find. I mean, it's not like you can Google "Top Ten Most Wanted Terrorists" and find something like this. I bet Think Progress and their crack team of reporters will happen upon this list real soon now. Any day now.

HOLD THE FORT..... There is a picture of the KKK in that article. The KKK....what they must be a million members strong at this point.

Kudos to you OP for finding this insightful well thought out and thouroughly researched piece of journalism. Bravo, bravo.

Evidently the FBI doesn't read Think Progress.

Without looking at the article I call BS. How many right wing extremists are there? 7 out of 10?

4 out of 5 doctors prescribe certain drugs that can/will kill someone this year. Where do they fit in?


I hate licorice.

Fort Hood shooting isn't even considered Islamic terrorism. I don't give any credibility to the Left when they speak about their ally; Islam.
