Terrorism in America

I don't know why we in America have so much trouble understanding the Moslem Fundamentalist Terrorists. We experienced a similar phenomena here in the 1920's and 1930's. The Ku Klux Klan dressed up and rode through mid-western and southern states. They were Christian, Fundamentalist Terrorists.They preached a message of hate of Blacks, Jews, and Catholics.The KKK burned crosses and homes and killed and terrorized people. They sought political control with the goal of forcing everyone to believe as they did. They were quite successful, completely controlling the State of Indiana at one point.

The 60's, 70's, and 80's were an era of Irish Terrorism. The Provisional IRA bombed and killed and terrorized in Northern Ireland and England, seeking political control, and preaching hate of Protestants and the English. Amazing amounts of money were collected in the United States and carried to Ireland secrdtly. Most of us Irish Americans either looked the other way or cheered the IRA on vocally and financially.

We know a lot about terrorists among us, we just haven't had a lot of experience with being the subject of terrorism.
