Abstract

This total threat analysis of extreme right-wing terrorism and radical Islamic terrorism in the United States employs the use of open source intelligence research. I gathered my information from class lectures, Internet website documents, textbook material, and media sources, such as video clips. This analysis focuses on the threat of terrorism in the United States from ideological and tactical points of view, both in extreme right wing terrorism and radical Islamic terrorism. Considering that terrorists most often have a background rooted in one of these two ideological beliefs, it makes logical sense that the attacks be analyzed in this manner. The conclusions drawn are based on the ideological and tactical data from recent years. Therefore, the threat projection for the future is one with a foundation of substantial evidence derived out of a variety of legitimate academic sources.
