Mark’s article is highly instructive, please click out since there are several sublinked reports and articles to explore.

Over at Newsbusters the other day they got upset that Mark Potok pointed out that it wasn’t likely that the bombers were radical right extremists because the Marathon bombers didn’t target blacks, Jews, or gays. They are upset even though Mark got it exactly right. Indeed, the last failed attempt to bomb a large public gathering in the US targeted blacks at a Martin Luther King March in Spokane.

The wingnuts on the right continually try to portray the left as soft on terror because the leaders on the left are adult and don’t make sweeping claims about terror and terrorists. Instead they point to specific hate leaders, individuals, and groups, rather than whole segments of population, ethnicities, or religions - a policy that’s good to follow if you want to combat hate and terrorists effectively instead of strutting and blustering about it.

With the news that the Boston Marathon bombers may have Chechnyan roots, attention is turning to the threat of “self-radicalized” Muslims in the United States. In the fall of 2011, the Intelligence Report ran a cover story and several sidebars on that phenomenon that may be useful to readers.

Our lead story explored the changing nature of the jihadist threat as extremists living in the country have become at least as dangerous as operatives from abroad. We also published a timeline of 30 attacks by homegrown jihadists since 9/11 and profiles of 10 extremists. I also wrote an accompanying editorial.

The same Bill White has also made threats against Charles.

Bill White, the wildly obnoxious neo-Nazi who has made a profession of lobbing criminal threats at his enemies, has apparently been at it again.

On Thursday, according to today’s edition of the Roanoke (Va.) Times, White was indicted for threatening to have his ex-wife beaten and “hospitalized” for declining to send him some $400 a month while he was a fugitive in Mexico last year. White was already being held in Chicago, where he is serving time for violating his parole by fleeing to Mexico and also awaiting sentencing for threatening a juror.

White, a one-time anarchist who later became the founder and leader of now-defunct American National Socialist Workers Party, is known for making threats over the phone and via E-mail. His targets have included black tenants of a Virginia apartment complex who sued their landlord for discrimination, a federal jury chairman who helped convict another neo-Nazi leader, a black Miami Herald columnist, and a woman at a credit card company. He once threatened to come to the home of the author of this post some time after midnight, in a car that he said was loaded with guns.

Hayes filed a federal lawsuit in Knoxville in 2006 when officials at Brushy Mountain Correctional Complex barred him from having the materials. He wanted prison officials to recognize his membership in the religious group Christian Israel Identity. He also wanted to receive mailings from the New Christian Crusade Church of Metairie, La., court documents say.

Based on his requested religious affiliation and materials, Hayes is aligning himself with the racist Christian Identity movement, said Mark Potok, head of the department that monitors hate groups for the Southern Poverty Law Center.

“This is fundamentally a neo-Nazi reading of the Bible,” Potok said. “Christian identity says the Bible is the reading of the white race.”

He says the movement has caused violence.

The religious material that warden rejected contained messages of white supremacy, claiming the Bible is for the white race only and that “Jews are mongrelized descendants of Satan through Cain,” court documents say.
