Thank you for clarifying your original point.
I don't think that 8 right wing extremism homicide events over the course of 2 years shows that _half the country_ are right wing extremists.
Just like how 5 Islamist extremist homicide events over the same period of time don't show that all Muslims are extremists.
According to PBS, "far-right extremists tend to be more active in committing homicides, yet Islamist extremists tend to be more deadly."
Are we comparing percentage of deaths or number of events?
Personally, I think both sides are fueled by religious beliefs. Their hate is cut from the same cloth.
