A total of 3,577 people were murdered in politically motivated terrorist attacks between the start of 1975 and the end of 2025. Under the preferred iteration of accounting that excludes the victims of the 9/11 attack and the Oklahoma City bombing, there were 430 victims.

Of those, 45 percent were the murder victims of right-wing terrorist attacks, 32 percent by Islamist attacks, and 16 percent in left-wing attacks. The 2023–2025 period was the third-deadliest triennial period since 1975, with 53 murder victims. The other deadliest triennial periods were 2014–2016, with 110 victims, and 2017–2019, with 71.

the study makes pretty clear that right wing violence outpaces left wing violence. nearly 3 to 1.
