For your perusal.

Majority of fatal attacks on U.S. soil carried out by white supremacists, not terrorists - Washington Times
Not sure I agree with the statistics:

Terrorist attacks by violent jihadis in the US since 9/11 | US news | The Guardian

Add Orlando and that brings the total to 95 since 9/11, so maybe twice as many killed by Islamic terrorists than white supremacists?
