Homegrown terrorism is a legitimate concern and the question now in government circles is how much of a threat does it pose to our population.
To be perfectly honest with all of you military ring customers out there I don’t perceive domestic terrorism as a major threat. If we look at the time that we have been in the war on terror you will see that there have not been any significant incidents of domestic terrorism in the United States (that I am aware of).
The fanaticism which leads to terrorism seems to be something which is learned. It is a grave mistake to perceive all Muslim people as fanatics or terrorists. We can attribute terrorism to certain sects of Islam which don’t seem to be prevalent in the US.
You military ring customers can correct me if I’m wrong on this one but terrorism seems to be bred out of an indoctrination to hate. It seems to be more of a cultural than a religious issue.
I have to add here that most acts of domestic terrorism which have been committed in this country have been racially motivated and not a matter of religious extremism.
We can’t expect the government to be able to magically protect us from every threat. We as Americans have to be vigilant and ready to do our part to combat acts of domestic terrorism.
