Yes, there are but............
The first thing to note is, Jewish groups carried out more terrorist attack in America than Muslim groups have but both fall into the minor league when you look at the whole.
The story is old news and largely unreported but, considering the perception about Muslims being terrorists, we have to ask why that is.
In my opinion, it's a political thing. America needs an enemy to keep it's arms industry running and Muslims look funny and prey to God in a way most Americans don't understand - that makes them easy to stereotype.
Very much as Nazi Germany did to the Jews.
Opinion?

Terrorist Attacks on U.S. Soil by Group, From 1980 to 2005, According to FBI Database
According to this data, there were more Jewish acts of terrorism within the United States than Islamic (7% vs 6%). These radical Jews committed acts of terrorism in the name of their religion. These were not terrorists who happened to be Jews; rather, they were extremist Jews who committed acts of terrorism based on their religious passions, just like Al-Qaeda and company...
...Of the more than 300 American deaths from political violence and mass shootings since 9/11, only 33 have come at the hands of Muslim-Americans, according to the Triangle Center on Terrorism and Homeland Security. The Muslim-American suspects or perpetrators in these or other attempted attacks fit no demographic profileonly 51 of more than 200 are of Arabic ethnicity. In 2012, all but one of the nine Muslim-American terrorism plots uncovered were halted in early stages. That one, an attempted bombing of a Social Security office in Arizona, caused no casualties.
