A community for discussing events around the World
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed. Sources that have a Low or Very Low factual reporting rating or MBFC Credibility Rating may be removed.
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF 10/19
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

Any official acknowledgment of the rising threat from ring-wing domestic terrorism is good. The first step to solving a problem is identification!
What I find hilarious about this report is that they point out differences between Islamist terror groups and right wing terror groups that aren't differences just different stages. I dealt with this professionally and all those Islamist groups started out exactly like the right wing groups. They found support from imams who generally aligned with their ideology. The imams would have funding through charity organizations run through the mosques. They would begin funding people within the mosque that were interested in this type of activism. It didn't start with suicide bombings right out the gate it progressed fairly naturally and fundamentalist activist found funding through fundamentalist mosques and Islamic charities then nation states found they could donate to these charities and escalate matters in foreign adversaries domestically. This is not only identical to Islamic terrorism its following the exact same path to a potential Daesh being born in these countries. I already foresee the potential for christian evangelist to attempt to create a caliphate. Literally Hyung Jin Moon is attempting this right now with the Gun Church.
EDIT: Whats interesting as well is earlier western action massively escalated those groups and radicalized them further. It will be interesting to see if anyone in power learned a damn thing from our past mistakes.
I like to think of it in the sense that they are saying the children are being saved from this psychopath. Like “Can you believe this fuck procreated?”
It makes sense because if we take away the focus of Islam as a religion and just look at what they espouse, there is little difference between right wingers and extremist Islamic groups. Islamic groups just have that bit extra flavour.
David Myatt is an interesting link between the two.
Unfortunately, the Tories are by far the most destructive right wing terror group in the UK, and nobody seems to be able stop them at the moment. Maybe at the very end of 2024 when they can't hold off elections any further.
I’ve read and re-read this title and it still doesn’t make sense.
London Metropolitan Police (Met) have stopped incel groups and their 39 separate terrorist plots, which were to attack the London Pride Event, Members of Parliament (MPs) and more (landmark sites as mentioned in the article).
The primary threat remains from Islamist extremism, which accounts for 67 per cent of attacks since 2018, around 75 per cent of MI5 caseload and 64 per cent of those in custody for terrorism.
However extreme right-wing terrorism is increasing and has accounted for 22 per cent of attacks since 2018, around 25% of MI5 caseload and 28 per cent of those in custody for terror offences.
That’s all just right wing terrorism?
I may be wrong, but I think in the usa, christian right wing nationalists have committed more terrorist attacks
In Canada a guy randomly went in and stabbed a gender studies professor and two students in class at uWaterloo. Broad daylight, two knives random people in a classroom of 40. Was a previous graduate.
