520 |a The concentration within America upon terrorism and Muslims overlooks recent acts of political violence undertaken by the indigenous extreme far‐right. In this article the rise of the militia and Christian Identity movement in America is explored and the social processes and agents behind the radicalisation of individuals and groups and emergence of political violence examined. It is argued that, while the 1995 Oklahoma bombing led to the movement’s growing popularity being curtailed, many of the factors behind its rise remain. By exploring the broad range of issues behind the emergence of the contemporary movement, the popular perception that support for related groups has been mobilised by materialism is challenged. In some aspects underlying reasons for mobilisation have been exasperated both by the perceived failure of George W. Bush to deliver electoral promises that were supported within the far‐right movement and conversely the Democrat Party’s success in the 2006 mid‐term elections. Consequently, the home‐grown ‘enemy within’ remains a threat.
