Isis is to the Islamic religion as the KKK is to Christianity..

They (isis and the kkk) use specific religious symbols and cherry picked texts to terrorize people and keep them silent while they do things that are 180 degrees opposite of the teachings that they try to hide themselves in . Wolves in sheep's clothing was as they used to say.

What do you do? My biggest fear is that they are so emboldened that they will go to any lengths to try and pull us back into the middle east.

No one has any good answers to what is happening.. No one.. there are no solutions ..

but the kkk hasn't taken over areas of land, torn down the border between two countries, taken over towns and villages, and imposed their views on the residents. If you haven't seen it, you really should watch the vice video on ISIS. It broke my heart. The children. Man are they indoctrinating the children. And the thing is, we caused so much of that hatred that they are instilling in the children.

as their method of control? You have to do something. None of the options are easy and all mean people are going to die, probably women and children included.

religious and temporal authority in the name of Allah.

KKK knows its whole purpose is to hate...


The biggest difference is that Isis is bankrolled by Saudi Arabia and the other Gulf States. KKK has never had anything quite like that.
