Right-wing terrorism and violence has a long history in
America". Right-wing violent incidents began to outnumber
Marxist incidents in the United States during the 1980s and
1990s. Islamic studies scholar Youssef M. Choueiri classified
Islamic fundamentalist movements involving revivalism,
reformism, and radicalism as within the scope of "right-wing
politics".

During the 1980s, more than 75 right-wing extremists were
prosecuted in the United States for acts of terrorism, carrying
out six attacks.

In 1983, Gordon Kahl, a Posse Comitatus
activist, killed two federal marshals and was later killed by
police. Also that year, the white nationalist revolutionary
group The Order (also known as the Br�der Schweigen or Silent
Brotherhood) robbed banks and armored cars, as well as a sex
shop, bombed a theater and a synagogue and murdered radio talk
show host Alan Berg.

The April 19, 1995 attack on the Murrah
federal building in Oklahoma by Timothy McVeigh and Terry
Nichols killed 168 people and was the deadliest act of domestic
terrorism in the history of the United States. McVeigh stated
that it was retaliation for the government's actions at Ruby
Ridge and Waco.

Eric Rudolph executed a series of terrorist
attacks between 1996 and 1998. He carried out the 1996
Centennial Olympic Park bombing-which claimed two lives and
injured 111-aiming to cancel the games, claiming they promoted
global socialism. Rudolph confessed to bombing an abortion clinic
in Sandy Springs, an Atlanta suburb, on January 16, 1997, the
Otherside Lounge, an Atlanta lesbian bar, on February 21, 1997,
injuring five and an abortion clinic in Birmingham, Alabama on
January 29, 1998, killing Birmingham police officer and part-time
clinic security guard Robert Sanderson and critically injuring
nurse Emily Lyons.


As of June 2015, right-wing attacks since the September 11
attacks (9/11) had claimed more lives than attacks
committed by jihadists Thereafter, jihadist terrorist attacks
(the 2015 San Bernardino attack and the 2016 Orlando nightclub
shooting) raised the Islamic extremist death toll above that
caused by right-wing extremists. As of July 2016, the New
America Foundation placed the number killed in terrorist
attacks in the U.S. (since 9/11) as follows: 94 killed in
jihadist terrorist attacks, 50 killed in far-right attacks, and
5 killed in far-left attacks. New America's tally shows
right-wing terrorist attacks causing 68 fatalities since
September 11, 2001. These were:
