Washington New American Foundation and Groundbreaking Research

Al Qaeda Islamic State: Washington New American Foundation released a study last week showing that nearly twice as many people were killed in the U.S. by non-Muslim perpetrators, according to Toronto Star. According to groundbreaking research now being done in Canada, similar patterns can be seen here, with a consistent level of right-wing extremism throughout the country history. Translation: the threat not posed by Al Qaeda or Islamic State extremists, which dominate today headlines and political agenda. That wouldn’t come as a surprise to security and law enforcement officials on either side of the border, especially when it comes to so-called lone wolf attacks, such as the June 17 murders of nine black congregants at the South Carolina church. However, when thinking of lone wolf attacks today, what comes to mind is Ottawa Parliament Hill shooting in October that killed Cpl. These types of attacks are often cited as the most pressing concern, due to the difficulty in detecting or preventing them. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
