The calls are going out, and have been for to long, under the guise of free speech, as they have throughout our history, and carried across the modern media outlets without shame nor guilt association.
al Qaeda, the ghost enemy, United States style!
One wonders when they'll take that affiliation, as others around the world have, for the instant publicity, and fear in many, it gives!
Start calling these Extremist Exactly what they are, and they and we readily call others, and always have been throughout our history as a country, "Terrorist"!
They want to protect their perceived rights, and those who follow them, while destroying any others rights who don't embrace them!
These are "Domestic Criminal Terrorist" seeking out the mass popularity and hopeful leadership of others who will carry out what they are called {directly or strongly hinted at} on to do!
There is 'civil disobedience', designed to send a message, usually as to political policy, but not as violence and Especially not to injure or more others.
Then there's criminal acts pushed by the few towards others to actually carry out, absolving themselves of any guilt, that's 'criminal terrorism' as much as the acts themselves!

Section 802 of the USA PATRIOT Act (Pub. L. No. 107-52) expanded the definition of terrorism to cover ""domestic,"" as opposed to international, terrorism. A person engages in domestic terrorism if they do an act ""dangerous to human life"" that is a violation of the criminal laws of a state or the United States, if the act appears to be intended to: (i) intimidate or coerce a civilian population; (ii) influence the policy of a government by intimidation or coercion; or (iii) to affect the conduct of a government by mass destruction, assassination or kidnapping. Additionally, the acts have to occur primarily within the territorial jurisdiction of the United States and if they do not, may be regarded as international terrorism. -->-->-->
The statutory definition of domestic terrorism in the United States has changed many times over the years; also, it can be argued that acts of domestic terrorism have been occurring since long before any legal definition was set forth.
According to a memo produced by the FBI's Terrorist Research and Analytical Center in 1994, domestic terrorism was defined as "the unlawful use of force or violence, committed by a group(s) of two or more individuals, against persons or property to intimidate or coerce a government, the civilian population, or any segment thereof, in furtherance of political or social objectives." -->-->-->
