During his three day summit
on Countering Violent Extremism, Obama continued to reject the notion
that the West is at war with radical Islam.
Instead, Obama said the greatest threat
to America is its own citizens, or as Obama likes to refer to them as
right-wing extremists.
A new intelligence assessment
circulated by the Department of Homeland Security, focuses on the
domestic terror threat from ‘right-wing sovereign citizen extremists,’
and comes as the Obama administration holds a White House conference to
focus efforts to fight violent extremism.
Some federal and local law enforcement
agencies view the domestic terror threat from sovereign citizen groups
as equal to, and in some cases greater than the threat from foreign
Islamic terror groups, such as ISIS, that have been plaguing the United
States in recent months.
DHS has documented examples
of violence by sovereign citizen extremists since 2010 and they range
from incidents that occurred in the home and at traffic stops to attacks
on government buildings.
The Homeland Security report, produced
in coordination with the FBI, counts 24 violent sovereign
citizen-related attacks across the U.S. since 2010. Somehow these 24
attacks are viewed as a greater danger to the USA than the terrorist
attacks plaguing not only the United States, but countries around the
world.
CNN reported that
the
report adds that “law enforcement officers will remain the primary
target of (sovereign citizen) violence over the next year due to their
role in physically enforcing laws and regulations.”
The
White House has fended off criticism in recent days for its reluctance
to say the words “Islamist extremism,” even as the conference this week
almost entirely focused on helping imams and community groups to
counteract the lure of groups like ISIS.
Absent
from the White House conference is any focus on the domestic terror
threat posed by sovereign citizens, militias and other anti-government
terrorists that have carried out multiple attacks in recent years.
The
Homeland Security report’s focus on right-wing terrorists is a subject
that garnered political controversy for the Obama administration in the
past. In 2009, a Homeland Security report on possible recruitment of
military veterans by right-wing militia groups prompted an outcry from
veterans groups.
The White House continues to fend off
criticism for its reluctance to say the words “Islamist extremism,” even
as the conference this week was almost entirely focused on helping
imams and community groups to counteract the lure of groups like ISIS.
Absent from the White House conference
is any focus on the domestic terror threat posed by sovereign citizens,
militias and other anti-government terrorists that have carried out
multiple attacks in recent years.
