America is full of militia groups many claiming to be Christian but taking violent action as their message. They range from white supremacists to plain old anti-government groups and they usually have far more munitions than a typical national guard armory.
Shear numbers suggest that our home grown terrorists out number the foreign Islamic type by far.
So the poll asks which are more dangerous?

I wasn't allowed to vote for two options.
I voted Islamic Terrorists, because you've got two for the price of one. Islam, and terrorism are both dangerous regardless of the mix or lack thereof.
If I could have voted for two, I would have put Islamic Terrorists and white supremacists.
Also, what is an imfammatory video?

I wanted to say, "e) bloggers who make spelling and grammar errors in their polls, such as asking which is "more" dangerous among 4 choices (rather than "most" -- "more" is used to compare two things, "most" for 3 or greater), or "infammatory."
LOL
But seriously.
In a way, all are equally dangerous. An anti-abortion protester has the potential to be as deadly as any of them, and an Islamic fundamentalist has just as much potential of being redeemed. It's not the particular beliefs which a person holds that makes them dangerous; it's the vehemence with which they hold that belief, and/or the lengths to which they will go to defend the belief. If someone believes that all bicycles must be painted red, and any bicycle painted any other color besides red must be destroyed, that person could potentially become as deadly, if they bomb a bicycle factory that makes green or blue bikes. And if someone believes that grass is purple and 2+2=5 could be harmless, if they don't feel a need to defend those beliefs.

Well the white supremacists are our neighbors and they claim to be Christian (whether or not they really are or not.) They spout "patriotic" slogans and at times it is difficult to tell just what they are, but more than anything they want to change our government. They want to make the rest of us like them. The Islamic radicals just want to kill us primarily because we have interfered in their culture over and over again.

Ummmm.... Are you not aware that American soldiers are killing people right now? Or do you think that because they're Muslim they don't qualify as "people?" Or perhaps it's okay when an American kills, because that's justified, but when an Islamic does, he's a terrorist?
I'm not saying that the Islamists bombing embassies are justified in what they are doing. They are not, and even Muslims around the world are crying out to the rioters to stop, saying that the violence is wrong. I'm just pointing out that you are wrong to say that Islamic terrorists are the only ones killing people right now.
The American justice system, in many states, is killing American citizens in the name of peace and order. Whether it is wrong or right, it is happening. Pretending like it isn't happening won't make it go away. Accept it and approve of your government, or reject it and protest, but don't pretend like it isn't happening.
And, if you believe -- as I know many of you do -- that abortion is murder, there are doctors murdering thousands of "fetuses" every year.
No, Islamic terrorists do not hold a monopoly on murder.

I have to disagree with that. Many white supremacist are actually killing right now, not to mention certain anti-abortion groups. (There are some who I will never call pro-life, simply because they do not value all lives. And certain fundamentalist groups are wounding people up with their words, causing them to attack those who don't agree with them. Words can be just as powerful as a gun. (Have we not learn the lesson of Hitler?)
Well if any of you would have watched Beck he told you this was coming two years ago. I have no problems with people owning guns and waning to protect our constitution / country. It is our right to do so
That’s the problem now, people who want to change this country into some kind of nanny , police , socialist, communist country are heroes and someone like me that believes in my country / constitution is a terrorist.
That should tell you we are heading the wrong way. That’s a big sign to turn around and go back
the most dangerous right now is our own government taking away our freedoms by overzealous in trying to get all these guys, look what happened in Kansas City, the guy did nothing wrong, no bombs,nothing illegal, the government put him on a watch list, and he simply wanted to find out why and what he did. He walked into the federal building for it's intended use, and everything outside went crazy. He was a business man, he cleaned things for a living, and in out panic we caused a huge unwarranted situation. These terrorist groups know this is how we will react, and they don't always use bombs and guns, they use our own fear against us,that's the most dangerous thing there is
The answer to the poll is, by way of logic, Islamic terrorists. Here's why:
Some white supremacists are terrorists.
Some anti-abortion activists are terrorists.
Some fundamentalists who put inflammatory videos on the internet are terrorists.
ALL Islamic terrorists are terrorists. Every single one. So that should answer the question.
