Pulse Nightclub was just one guy being an asshole; as near as anyone can tell, it was a legit radical Islam zealot.

He bragged about being part of Al Qaeda, ISIS, and Hamas to his co-workers, seemingly in a bid to sound tough. If you know anything about your Islamic extremists, you know that all three of those groups hate each others' guts and, at the time the shooting happened, were busy murdering the fuck out of each other in Syria and Iraq.

But to the actual point of the topic, right-wing extremists and gun nuts have been doing a lot more damage in the last few years, so they're getting a lot more of the attention. Radical Islam was always a boogeyman that was more flash than actual substance, at least in the West; the death toll from right-wing extremists has been higher every year this century except for 2001.
