They're usually more keen on arson than bombing per se. The FBI lists more than 600 criminal acts attributed to the ELF and ALF. That's just in the US, of course.

The real question is, are muslims more likely to be terrorists?

Actually the answer is no too.

Ever noticed how the extreme environmentalist groups are opposed to ALL forms of electrical generation? They oppose coal and oil because of pollution, nuclear because it's scary, hydro because it changes ecosystems, wind because it can kill birds that get caught in the turbines, and geothermal because of heat dissipation. It would be nice to hear their plan for how they plan for the human race to just do without electricity at all. At a minimum, I'd like to see them practice what they preach and live in the woods somewhere without modern conveniences.

The ELF have already been labelled ecoterrorists. They aren't really, they don't hurt humans, they only destroy property. Greenpeace are basically a liberal group with a corporate structure, not really any threat to the status quo.

I wouldn't worry to much about SUVs since apparently they're the target of these guys who think that burning 500 pounds of irreplaceable inorganic material and rubbers is less harmful to the environment than just letting it drive around.

horses mouth

that'll teach me to preview first

Voting, ha. they can surveille whoever they want now and you think the secret police will allow any real political change to take place in this country. ever heard of CoIntelPro. And that was before environmental resistance and the government said Dancing is terrorism

There are extremist left-wing groups who have been known to commit acts of terrorism. However, I hesitate to use the term "terrorism", because the specific example I'm aware of is Playskool compared to what happened today.
