KKK Leader Disputes Hate Group Label: 'We're A Christian Organization' [View all]
http://m.huffpost.com/us/entry/5008647The leader of the Traditionalist American Knights of the Ku Klux Klan is tired of a few rogue Klansmen ruining the groups reputation, and argues that the group is a non-violent Christian organization.
We dont hate people because of their race, I mean, were a Christian organization, Frank Ancona, the group's Imperial Wizard, told Virginia's NBC 12 on Thursday. "Because of the acts of a few rogue Klansmen, all Klansmen are supposed to be murderers, and wanting to lynch black people, and we're supposed to be terrorists. That's a complete falsehood.
Anconas group has come under fire from residents of Chesterfield County, Va., about 20 miles south of Richmond, for distributing KKK recruitment fliers in people's yards since January.
"We picked ours up out of our driveway and threw it in the trash," Sarah Peachee told NBC 12. "We weren't interested in even reading about it"

OP
I can disagree with them in every way and I think religion is always used to control people.

I'm told we're not qualified to judge who is a 'real' Christian following real Christian doctrine.

I missed the part where one can't be a christian and a terrorist at the same time.

That's because the conclusion is inconvenient to you, so you smear the poster like the alerter did.

See your post #50: "*Prove* the KKK is wrong by way of religious justification."

I would think a 'logican' would have the attention span to read on and see I said you CAN'T prove it
