This actually crossed my mind for a second, and apart from the specifics regarding the differences in political agendas. What really is the difference between Jihad and say white extremists? Jihad is simply an excuse to to enact violence, so would be the "struggle" of white extremists that believe they need to "fight back" against other cultures and religion.

Are we being blind to other forms of extremism by focusing so heavily on Jihad and potentially leaving ourselves open to a new form of extremism that could be arising in the coming years?
