Right-wing extremists have emerged as a serious terrorist threat in and directed towards the citizens of the U.S. Acts by these groups include random shootings, bombings, assassinations, and bank robberies. Neo-Nazis use terrorist acts to harass and intimidate people of color and people of the Jewish faith. Their goal is to eradicate all people of color and all Jews as they believe these groups to be inferior to the white race. Anti-abortionists have bombed abortion clinics and assassinated doctors who perform abortions. This group believes abortion to be murder—a crime and an immoral behavior that must be stopped.

As with the others mentioned, the goal is to stop what they consider to be criminal and immoral acts committed on animals and the means to stopping it is with violent acts of terrorism.
