Guest: ‘Ideologically’ Islamic Terrorists & Pro-Life Activists ‘Almost the Same’

‘You still have to infiltrate these groups’

HARRIS-PERRY: "Your work is around counterterrorism. So if we’re going to call this terrorism, how do we counter it? We talk about a war on terror. It doesn’t look anything like how we might imagine what we’d need to do in this space."
NANCE: "Well, we’re going to have to counter. And we do. Law enforcement does counter political extremism here in the United States in the exact same way they do political extremists who are infiltrated into the United States, who may come from a religious motivation, you know, as we saw overseas in Europe. But the same methodologies have to be used. You can’t differentiate between an Islamic terrorist and a Christian terrorist. Or abortion or someone who may have differing views. The intelligence collection processes are the same. There’s actually some fluidity here in the United States. Using local intelligence against them. But you still have to infiltrate these groups. You still have to collect intelligence as you see fit. They are very well organized in the anti-abortion movement. Ideologically, they’re almost the same. That’s where we see these spurts of violence."
