"White supremacist" kills two roommates for making fun of his conversion to Islam. Personal dispute related to ideology but not at all motivated by pro-white ideology. Rather than being classified as Islamic extremism (which would also be misleading),

I think that's the 18 (the website isn't totally clear about classifications). There are a few other similar ones labeled right wing extremism that aren't classified in the white supremacist category.

1 murder likely motivated by ideology 4 personal dispute w/ ideological underpinnings 1 panic, self-defense, or retaliation 2 by Islamic convert 10 not apparently motivated by ideology And they spin this as a huge increase in white supremacist violence. It's basically fraudulent

Why is the ADL characterizing these murders as "white supremacist violence" if they're mostly personal disputes unrelated to ideology? All varieties of people occasionally kill. They're trying to mislead people into thinking that these killings are caused by the ideology.

Notice how the ADL talks about this. "Murders by white supremacists doubled!" https://twitter.com/samswey/status/954835724406284291 … "Most extremist-related murders were related to **right-wing extremism**" Do you think people will understand that 90% of these are garden-variety murders unrelated to ideology?pic.twitter.com/ljQHVws4f1

By the way, even the one murder I'm generously giving them as ideologically motivated may not have actually been. I'm just going by their description here.
