The world has witnessed a number of right wing extremist attacks this year and a former director of America's National Counterterrorism Centre fears there will be more.

He cautioned against blaming mental health as key reason for attacksNick Rasmussen, who served under President Barack Obama and President Donald Trump, said right wing extremism is becoming more prevalent.

"I think there is a certain equality in the United States at least in terms of case load," Mr Rasmussen said. ASIO boss Duncan Lewis has previously confirmed that intelligence agencies are keeping an eye on right wing extremism in Australia.

Abbott head butted, Bolt assaulted, Morrison & Anning egged, Dutton's office trashed, attempted bombing of Christian lobby office, Leynhelm harassed, violent demonstrations at conservative events. What side of politics did he say is a threat again?

When ABC says right it really means white. ABC is founded on a hard-Left ideological loathing of white Western civilization. This ideology is why as of 18:37 A.E.S.T 13-08-19 there is still no ABC news story dealing with today's Sydney Islamic attack SydneyCBD SydneyStabbing

Right wingers and white supremacists getting angry in the comments... Yup.

In Australia racisam starts in home during child development age. Many Australian kids have racist attitude already at school grounds. Parents are responsible in their attitude and racists comments at home as kids are listening and imitate parents when they become addults.

You betcha

He should probably resign.

Must be an Obama leftover hiding from view only to pounce on queue from his global masters.What no report on the Dayton shooters links ? shooter allegedly supported gun control,Elizabeth Warren (Democrat),socialism and ANTIFA links now theres a real terrorist organization antifa

It’s coming won’t be long now😡innocent lives will be lost again and again😡Australia is to soft towards radical groups and people😏many could be deported from our shores so examples are set that our governments and people won’t stand for these radicals 🤬

Combine white fright with denial as per some of these comments is a recipe for future domestic terrorist disasters.

So left wing extremism like Antifa thugs get a free pass?

“Hateful rhetoric and hateful ideologies that underpin these attacks” so we are now keeping scorecards I’m betting these people may have other issues separate from beliefs but that’s not good click bait is it what a vacuous article.

Meanwhile, here's more news TheirABC won't tell you about …

Radical Islam is right wing, it is genuine fascism and very well organised. A bunch of angry skinheads and misfits is not a threat beyond their local vicinity. The Shootings in the US are not predominantly right wing either. El Paso and Ohio were left wing and or simply deranged.

Bullshit

While our right-wing, extremist government fans the flames.

How many people world wide have died at the hands of Muslims in the last 20 years Compared to at the hand of right wing extremists? Where does the ABC find these wackos

Where in this story did he or the head of ASIO indicate that right wing threat rivals radical islam ?. The headline is a complete lie. At best the story indicate an emerging number from a low base line. Nothing close to the actual threat faced under radical jihadists. Seriously

Keep stoking the culture wars you help to create.. ItaButtrose

Over 34000 Islamic terrorists attacks since 9/11, the right wings extremists would have a look way to go to catch up

Hmmm, the majority of those charged with terror related offences in Aust have been Muslim . Sure , let’s worry about the right wing 😂

Complete bullshit

Clive Hamilton slams 'useful idiots' of Chinese influence on campusExclusive: The outspoken professor has slammed left-wing activists on Australian campuses after a Greens student group belatedly reversed its opposition to a protest against China's Confucius Institute | Dana_Adele Dana_Adele China betrays own history where it favours Confucius over Mencius and such philosophers over LaoTzu & Tao te ching, which ought to serve as a guide. Dana_Adele They don’t call the Greens “watermelons” for nothing. Dana_Adele The contemporary 'woke' left is an absolute fucking shambles. Impervious to reason. Blind to tyranny. Ignorant of history. Rigidly orthodox. Hostile to nuance. Tribalist. Illiberal. Incoherent. Dogma spouting, sanctimonious, heretic & blasphemy hunting, dim wits & zealots

Swastika epidemic has defiled the streets of MelbourneIt is an unacceptable reality that in 2019 our elected officials have yet to ban the public display of the Nazi swastika, writes Dvir Abramovich, chairman of the Anti-Defamation Commission. | OPINION Welcome to white rascist Australia ..... It’s actually an ancient symbol of peace. And is still used in other cultures. How about we get educated and get along rather than banning things and calling names Swastika is a Hindu/Buddhist/Jain symbol & Aust citizens have every right to reclaim it, which means eternity, sun, life. Obviously Nazi's perverted such symbols. Aust's sophisticated enough to go beyond hate, reclaim & embrace original meaning of this 12 thousand yr old symbol.

Australia doesn’t need to ‘import extreme right-wingers’ | Sky News AustraliaOpposition Leader Anthony Albanese has hit back at Brexit Party Leader Nigel Farage, urging him to fix the “mess” he's created in the United Kingdom, after taking aim at Labor. \n\nMr Farage, who is in Sydney, this weekend criticised Shadow Home Affairs Minister Kristina Keneally for her attempts to stop right-wing figure Raheem Kassam from entering the country.\n\nHe Farage told Sky News the left is becoming increasingly extreme and anti-democratic, a move which will serve conservatives well. \n\nDefending his colleague's stance, Mr Albanese said “there’s enough extreme right-wingers here without us importing them”.\n\nImage: News Corp Australia Labor should know a thing or two about importing annoyances from the UK. Former Senator Doug Cameron comes to mind. I wish he hadn't. Farage is leading our country out of a dictatorship, the only mess is being caused by the establishment who are fighting against our country. The mess being the democratic vote the British people had? Yeah, can’t have that
