The KKK is interesting history. Black Lives Matter white thugs were probably a bigger terrorist organization in the 21st century. Lot of dumb white people and paid protesters destroyed cities for a criminal on meth getting choke out.

Man, shut the fuck up and go play in traffic. Adults are having a conversation.

Dude needed help on his daughter getting beat by her boyfriend. Break his hand that hit her dumb fuck

I posted my dilemma because I wasn’t interested in going to prison and being surrounded by people like you. I needed someone to talk me out of killing him. He didn’t beat her, he put his hands around her throat without squeezing. Had he done either I would’ve responded in kind, consequences be damned.

 

[Giddyup]

Ok. Hope people helped

Almost none of what you said is true. Firstly, the Klan required that its members be Protestants from its inception. Secondly, all Christians that are not Catholic or Orthodox are Protestant. The Klan’s affiliation with Protestants had to do with their hatred of Catholics. Throughout the history of our country, Catholics have been mischaracterized as not true Christians. That has led to bigotry and hatred that still exists in some circles today. Finally, I never insinuated that the Klan represented all Protestants. Of course there were and are Protestants that oppose the Klan.

It's kind of proving my point that you shouldn't judge a group of people by the worst representatives

I said the south used the states rights argument to justify them being racist and wanting to keep slavery. I don't think the state should be involved in any of those things either. I think it should it come down to the individual. If that means the feds have to intervene to protect those rights then so be it.

I've already answered your question regarding radical Islam. You're incredibly uneducated if you don't think radical Christianity exists, or whatever term youSo want to use for it. I'll ask you again if your familiar with the KKK? I'm pretty sure you said you were. They would qualify for this

Southern or northern, the tenth amendment was written to prevent an over-powerful, top down central government.

Why are you incapable of putting Column A vs Column B next to each other? Because it would make you look incredibly naive to say that radical Christianity is a bigger threat than radical Islam?

The KKK is long gone, hasn't been a thing for decades, and isn't relevant here. That's a desperate attempt at deflection. Come hit me up when Sister Mary Jane is using a suicide vest or Bishop McCabe lights up a mosque with an AK-47. Until then, we're all just rolling our eyes at your stance on this.

Cool… not sure you’re point.

You've completely missed my original point. It wasn't even about violence. It was about the Christian right implementing their views thru policy.

Everything I posted was in response to something you posted. The different branches of Christianity and the apparent inference of Christianity and the KKK’s symbiotic relationship. I was wrong about original membership requirements, apparently.

The KKK made a Protestant requirement for exclusion purposes to exclude groups of people… like Catholics. My point is that a “Christian” requirement would not allow Catholics and other branches because the Catholic Church and all other branches did not align with their belief system so that is why they are not included. The first people to come to US were Protestant Christian’s so they used that angle to justify their hate. The KKK wanted things to go back to what it was when the first little white puritan landed on America.

Paid protestors? At your school, do they have flyers up? You might make some decent coin if you took advantage of those opportunities. Make sure to be on the squad that drops the pallets of bricks!

The first iteration of the Klan and the second iteration of the Klan are two different things. The requirement came in 1915 because that's when the Southerners went up on Stone Mountain and restarted it. It was clearly Christian, which is why they used Christian imagery. The first Klan was to prevent Reconstruction which worked for them. 1915 the Southerners were scared of Catholics, Jews, and every non-Protestant group and were inspired by Birth of a Nation. Thats why it was centered around cities where black, Catholic, and Jewish migration took place. It was very much a Protestant group.

At any rate… they barely exist if at all in 2025 and I’m sure we can agree and be aligned that this is a good thing.

Absolutely, however, there are still 1370 hate groups to take their place.

Ladies and Gentlemen, we'll be landing shortly. We want to take a moment to thank you for flying EasyJet. We know you have choices and we appreciate you choosing EasyJet. We hope to see you next time you fly.

Haha. I didn't miss a thing.

Your first post said you didn't understand why people were concerned about Muslims in the US. I explained why.

And if you were concerned about right wing policy makers, your first exhibit to the court wouldn't have been a couple backwoods cult leaders (who hold no public office and have no influence) that say they don't like LGBT folks.

In case you need a refresher here are my very first two posts on this topic.

The Muslim population in the US as of 2020 was less then 2%. Why are people here acting like they're over taking the US. I'd prefer living in a country where the politics aren't influenced by any religion. I don't give a crap about the population makeup as long as the government isn't an extension of a particular religion.

I'm more concerned with Christian nationalists like Russell Vought. Our country was influenced by Judeo-Christian beliefs but we weren't founded on them. Historically religion want nearly as prevalent or overt in our federal government until about 70 years ago.

I just don't get the outage over extreme Muslim views when they're not nearly as prevalent as extreme Christian views in our country. I fear we forget that this country was originally founded because of people of all different religious beliefs fleeing religious persecution. And it seems to me that we are quickly forgetting the establishment clause in order to become a Christian nation.

It's amazing how often your wrong. I've been consistently saying my focus is on policy and policy makers, and the hypocrisy of only being focused on one religious group but you have continually focused on violence. I simply responded with 2 very recent events, one violent and one calling for violence, and then some more historical events to demonstrate how violent religious extremism isn't simply isolated to one group of religious people.

I think your argument about political arms is lost to those that have actually lost people to radical violence. I had a family member on a plane that crashed into a field on 9/11 and a family member in one of the towers that crossed to the ground. I was talking to a woman today that was abducted by a weird guy and she is now deathly afraid of to enter anyone’s house even if she’s knows them. I say that to say I’ve never been held captive by a weird old guy so I don’t have her issues and I’ve never had someone tell me i can’t be a dude for which I identify so it’s hard to give a shit when you don’t need to give a shit…

I’m also still waiting for your links your provider on attacks in the US being tied to Church/Christians.

Also, it’s very disingenuous to say that the KKK is Christian terrorism. Sure the KKK manipulates and twist religion to excuse their behavior, but the KKK was neither designed or formulated to worship Jesus or to further in a Christian agenda or ideology. The KKK sole purpose was to hate people of color, full stop.

And Catholics in the midwest where they didn't have enough POC for anyone to GAF.

A Clash Over Catholicism

It was May 1924, and the Ku Klux Klan wanted to showcase its power and cement its sudden grip on Indiana politics by holding a picnic and parade in South Bend, the most Catholic area in the state. About 500 Notre Dame students showed their objections by storming downtown and ripping the hoods...

FFS. The usual suspects just perpetually butthurt over anything & everything and constantly looking for something to be offended by. It's a great ad featuring a pretty girl and a play on words. Get over it.

No, your focus hasn't been on policy makers. You've brought up shootings by Christians and pointed to comments made by "pastors" who are anti LGBT. Your one attempt at a policy maker was Russell Vought, who is in the admin but isn't an elected official and doesn't vote on any legislation.

You refuse to stack up attacks in the name of Islam over the past 25 years vs attacks in the name of Christianity because column B (Christianity) would be a pinch of salt compared to Column A. That's why the majority of Americans will disagree with your stance, but it's yours to have.

If your preference is to live in a country not influenced by any religion, I can't imagine a worse scenario than one influenced by Islam. You certainly can't name a country ruled by Muslims where the LGBT community lives better than they do in the US.
