Non-Jihadist Cases, 2001-2011

In partnership with Syracuse University’s Maxwell School of Public Policy, the New America Foundation has conducted a survey of terrorism incidents and cases in the United States since 9/11 that were motivated by political ideologies other than the violent jihadism advocated by Osama bin Laden. Those ideologies span the spectrum from neo-Nazism and militant Christian fundamentalism to anarchism and violent environmentalism.

Below are all the catalogued non-jihadist cases. You may sort the table by any of the columns, or click on an individual's name for full details. Click here for the full nation-wide listing, or here for the jihadist-only data set.
