The study linked in your article has been updated (Spoiler alert: Radical Islam has retaken the lead by 2x)

How would it look if we factored in the relative population?

> B-but you are more likely to be killed by white trucker driver falling asleep than a jihadist truck hijacker.

Misleading much?

Only in the past two years have there been more jihadist deaths. Not sure where you got 2x from? Unless you mean one particular year? You may want to re-read.

In reality the KKK has killed more people than all jihadists combined. That is one group.

The page states the following body counts: 95 Jihadist 51 Far Right Wing.

(bottom of the page)

So not quite 2x.

I am not familiar with the history of the KKK, but are they still a threat?

If you consider the recent incidents: Paris (how many times!?), Stockholm, St. Petersburg and Nice, do you really believe Right Wing groups poses a greater threat?

The KKK is like some mythical beast brought out every couple years to scare people.

It is almost non existent.
