Police more worried about right wing violence than Islamic
A recent survey of law enforcement agencies nationwide found that police consider right-wing attacks like last week's mass shooting at a historic black church in Charleston, South Carolina to be a greater threat than Islamic extremism.
That remains the case even as attacks linked to Islamic extremists, like that on the "Draw Mohammad" contest last month in Garland, Texas, dominate headlines.
The survey, conducted last year by Kurzman and David Shanzer of Duke University, in collaboration with the Police Executive Research Forum, found that 74 percent of law enforcement agencies ranked anti-government extremism among the top three terror threats they faced.
