WASHINGTON — In the 14 years since Al Qaeda carried out attacks on New York and the Pentagon, extremists have regularly executed smaller lethal assaults in the United States, explaining their motives in online manifestoes or social media rants.

But the breakdown of extremist ideologies behind those attacks may come as a surprise. Since Sept. 11, 2001, nearly twice as many people have been killed by white supremacists, antigovernment fanatics and other non-Muslim extremists than by radical Muslims: 48 have been killed by extremists who are not Muslim, including the recent mass killing in Charleston, S.C., compared with 26 by self-proclaimed jihadists, according to a count by New America, a Washington research center.

No worries Berz. You have a different point of view, and there is nothing wrong with discussing the reason for my decisions (that of other staff should be handled privately).

I am for people giving Aeson a hard time. As the owner he obviously deserves it.

I am just disappointed he doesn't have a name like Pomp which easily lends itself to potty humor.

I would have been banned at CFC for discussing decisions by the mods

Maybe someday, neo-Confederates will grow up, and move out of the nineteenth century, into the twenty-first century, finally coming to terms with the fact that the Confederacy lost the Civil War.

Dale Earnhardt Jr. on Confederate flag: 'It's offensive to an entire race'

SONOMA, Calif. — Dale Earnhardt Jr. doesn't think much of the Confederate flag.

NASCAR's most popular driver reiterated his longtime stance on the flag Friday when asked by reporters at Sonoma Raceway, saying he agreed with NASCAR that it should be removed from the grounds of the South Carolina state capitol.

"I think it's offensive to an entire race," Earnhardt said. "It does nothing for anybody to be there flying, so I don't see any reason. It belongs in the history books and that's about it."

In the wake of a racially motivated mass shooting in South Carolina, NASCAR said this week it will continue to ban the use of the flag in any official capacity. But fans will still be allowed to fly the flag on racetrack property.

Jeff Gordon, a teammate of Earnhardt at Hendrick Motorsports, said the race team does not offer any merchandise with the Confederate flag symbol.

"I'm in support of what (NASCAR) is doing," Gordon said. "It's a delicate balance. We race all over, but the South is an area where we have a lot of fans and everyone has different opinions and expression of that."

There will be a backlash. Until then, the righteous shall bide their time.

The Ku Klux Klan is going to organize a rally in Columbia, South Carolina in support of displaying the Confederate flag.

Confederate flag worshippers who insist that they are not racist, and that the flag is not symbolic of white supremacy, seriously need to look at the company they are keeping.

[The Mad Monk]

Yep, not the smartest move.
