text: Sadly, there's no escaping the fact - fact, not opinion or assertion - that terror threats across the world emerge primarily from Islamic roots.
  
  It wasn't always that way, of course. In the early/mid 20th century the religious wellspring of unrest were the alliances between the Catholic right wing and Euro-fascism. In the 1960/1970 era in Northern Ireland, it was primarily Protestant extremists.
  
  To be sure, there are localized threats and actions made by fundamentalist right-wing groups in the US and other places, and they need to be taken seriously. But those threats aren't part of a world-wide movement like Islamic Jihad is.
