This atrocity in South Carolina is only the most recent example of home-grown terrorism.

Here are 10 of the worst examples from RawStory:

When white males of the far right carry out violent attacks, neocons and Republicans typically describe them as lone-wolf extremists rather than people who are part of terrorist networks or well-organized terrorist movements. Yet many of the terrorist attacks in the United States have been carried out by people who had long histories of networking with other terrorists. In fact, most of the terrorist activity occurring in the United States in recent years has not come from Muslims, but from a combination of radical Christianists, white supremacists and far-right militia groups.

Below are 10 of the worst examples of non-Islamic terrorism that have occurred in the United States in the last 30 years.

1. Wisconsin Sikh Temple massacre, Aug. 5, 2012.
   
2. The murder of Dr. George Tiller, May 31, 2009.
   
3. Knoxville Unitarian Universalist Church shooting, July 27, 2008.
   
4. The murder of Dr. John Britton, July 29, 1994.
   
5. The Centennial Olympic Park bombing, July 27, 1996.
   
6. The murder of Barnett Slepian by James Charles Kopp, Oct. 23, 1998.
   
7. Planned Parenthood bombing, Brookline, Massachusetts, 1994.
   
8. Suicide attack on IRS building in Austin, Texas, Feb. 18, 2010.
   
9. The murder of Alan Berg, June 18, 1984.
   
10. Timothy McVeigh and the Oklahoma City bombing, April 19, 1995.

Obviously, there are many more examples, these are just the ones that RawStory selected as the worst. Please feel free to add your own.

1. The war on terror is inherently racist by design.

It pulls attention from actual home grown terrorism to focus on terror incidents that have a zero percent chance of happening.

5. It may be my own definition of terrorist, but in my eyes,

the cops who kill, beat and harass people, especially those like Darren Wilson who murdered Mike Brown, are just as much a terrorist as these...creatures. There are so many stories of cops stopping and harassing people for no good reason other than the color of their skin. Not all cops, yes, but those that do these things are terrorists. And, to me, every time they get away with it, it is the state turning a blind eye to this type of terrorism.

As I said, this is my own definition, but these cops and those who protect them, are just as bad.
