re: Hmm. Far right. Well, Mcveigh could be classified as so far right, he's an anarchist. And the religious zealots that kill doctors to prevent abortions could be considered far right. But then the eco-terrorists are generally considered far left. It's too close a call for me.

Don't forget your White Supremist (Sword and Arm of the
Lord Covenant, Ku Klux Klan, etc.) and your many, many Para-Militia groups. Together with the anti-abortion folks, well, the "domestic" Muslims look pretty tame.

re: Now if you look at worldwide # of deaths caused by terrorist acts, I think the Muslims have earned despicably top honors for the faith that churns out the most terrorist events and causes the most civilian deaths.

Like I said, it depends on the country. In the US, the far right "have earned despicably top honors for the faith that churns out the most terrorist events and causes the most civilian deaths."

They are left but typically they don't kill. However, they do commit terrorist acts.

No challenge there but many of them are from the right as well.

What rubbish. The U.S.'s naked aggression into Iraq is clearly nothing more than state terrorism and has resulted in vastly more deaths than anything any Muslim fundamentalist groups have put together. Christianity is the greatest terrorist religion, winning the prize hands down.
