Yes the majority of people want the peace and to be quiet
I for one agree. It's a small minority of actively violent extremists that are the problem. It's still good to identify poisonous ideologies, which end up triggering these loonies. Salafist Islam deservedly get a lot of *beep* for the extremists it occasionally creates. This far-right "sovereign citizen" *beep* needs to be taken seriously as well.

It's not the same thing. These are involuntary collateral damage. The terrorists, them, kill voluntarily and with cold blood. And with the hate in more

This thread is a joke. There are no right wing terrorists. Painting conservatives as extremists because they hold dear, to the letter, the constitution is frankly insulting. I chuckle hard at the desperate clutching of straws that the op is clearly engaging in. There is nothing wrong with being proud of your nation and its people. These patriots the op refers to are disgusted by the actions of their government as well, including foreign policy. They don't want their military involved in the middle east or anywhere.
I am disgusted that just after a terrible bombing inflicted upon our children someone would post such drivel in gesture to intimate white Christians are evil too. Shocking! No they are not and have never engaged on the level of atrocities being carried out on the streets of Europe. Yes I know the military actions in the middle east are the catalyst. Like I said before the patriots accused here want the military home.

Here's what the FBI says:

It's not limited to the USA.
Here's a report from Europe:

Extremism doesn't discriminate between philosophies. Your personal own is not excluded because it's simply yours.
Think that Buddhists are all peaceful? Or Hindus? Nope. The more intensely people believe in something, the less likely they can resist impulses to violence against perceived enemies.
The Right in the USA is mostly concentrated in the Old Racist South. The Confederacy.
Following the Civil War, it was the same Confederacy that embarked on a domestic programme of terrorism. As American as Apple pie.
Know what a coal bomb is? Look it up.
How about the Irish Republican Army?
Or Duterte's thugishness in the Philippines?
Or Montana's elected Republican Representative Gianforte's assault on free speech yesterday?
Or Greg Abbott's latest jokes about shooting reporters?
Enough proof?
Go look it up.
Maybe your President ought to start deporting some different people.
It is surprising that you make the trial of the Westerners and not the trial of the terrorists

I'm going to bet that the lesion in the vmPFC you have ( which you will also NEVER look up) will block you from taking the obvious action.
You are just a single web search from determining the truth.
You are sitting at a computer reading this.
What's stopping you from continuing to make yourself look so bad?
Google it.
Prove us wrong.
We'll wait.

Right winger nuts are just as nuts as progressive violent nuts, however we can see here that they are flocking in the arabic countries, or is that right wing islamists? or maybe christina cross burners? One simply can't tell these days :/
Then you should also condemn the progressive left that is exercising violence today, just as we condemn right wing people who are violent, the pendulum swings both ways buddy.
How about just condemning violent people? It's not the idea themselves that are generally at fault for the violence. Any idea, in the hands of a particularly unstable individual, can be used to kindle the fires of violence. I'm not particularly fond of the "thought police" and the criminalization of ideas. If your ideas lead you to violent acts or to incite others to violence then, yeah, you've got a problem.
Do you have any examples?
Not saying there is no such violence, just wondering what it is. Hippy pacificist liberal feminist "s" are not really noted for aggression, which is the general root of violence.
I'm curious too, about these progressive attacks. Knifings and mass shootings one supposes.
Or does Lysander feel that they are emotionally attacking him perhaps.

Tree spiking comes to mind as a particularly violent tactic that has been used by certain left-wing environmentalist extremists. Though I think they disavowed the tactic after the first human casualty.
There were some violent protests following the recent Presidential election in the United States though, to be honest, most of that violence was directed at inanimate objects (breaking windows for example) and not toward harming people.
