This report makes no mention of Islamic radicals, who have been responsible for many terrorist attacks over the years. Wouldn't it be accurate to say Islamic radicalshave been responsible for almost ALL terrorist attacks over the past 15 years? |

I would agree with you, although some might cast the net so wide that other groups would qualify.
When we consider that terrorists have no qualms taking the lives of those who don't agree with them, and the fact that Islam supports the murder of anyone not a muslim, then it's easy to see why your contention would be true.

Boston HeraldThat’s profiling, DHS!
Napolitano sees a red, white and blue perilBy Jonah Goldberg Monday, April 20, 2009 - The Extremism and Radicalization Branch, Homeland Environment Threat Analysis Division of the Department of Homeland Security issued a report last week. It’s called “Rightwing Extremism: Current Economic and Political Climate Fueling Resurgence in Radicalization and Recruitment.” Who among us doesn’t feel safer already? The problem with it is that it makes little effort to document or demonstrate its contention that “extremist” groups are resurgent, that they are right wing or that they may be formed from the ranks of “disgruntled military veterans.” Worse, it’s very sloppy about what even qualifies someone as “extremist.” Basically, it’s fancy bureaucratese for: We’re guessing bad people will do bad things because the economy is bad and the president is black. But we have no real evidence.
My real objection to this report is that its source material amounts to “everybody knows.” Everybody knows the right is full of whack-jobs and killers, and if we don’t remain vigilant, bad things will happen.tinyurl.com/dg8ac2
