Essay / Western Terrorism Case Study - 1022
The United States is itself a right-wing extremist responsible for more terrorist attacks than any other ideological group.

Isis kills more Muslims than non-Muslims, but many Western countries have created the ideology of Islamophobia and claim that all Muslims are terrorists. When we think of a terrorist attack, we automatically associate it with Islam, but never with our own. Any attack carried out by a Caucasian often has an excuse of "mental illness" and is triggered in vaguer terms, but never claimed to be a problem.
