Study: Rightist Violence In Europe Comparable To Islamist Violence

A U.S. based researcher in a June 2012 paper for the Hague-based International Centre for Counter-Terrorism (ICCT), asserted that in the past two decades, rightist violence across Europe can be comparable to ‘Islamist’ bloodshed.

By the authors count (listed in the paper), at least 249 people have died in incidents of far-right violence in Europe, compared to 263 who have been killed by ‘Islamist’ violence since 1990.

The same paper asserts that both extremes may be ‘feeding’ eachother.

    I think the EDL is no different from the extremist groups we hear about.
