Absolutely.  Both are what happens when stupid shits think 'god' is on their side.

I mean, I'm not sure where to start. It's sort of vague. ISIS is obviously a way larger percentage of Islam than the KKK is of Christianity.

They took over massive territory in the middle east. Held major cities. The KKK couldn't take over a Duncan donuts.

ISIS is clearly not an Islamic counterpart to the KKK. The KKK is a secular social pheonomenom that arose from the defeat of the secular south in a secular struggle. ISIS is a fundamentalist irredentist phenomenon that arose from the defeat of religious creed in the hands of secular modernism.

Debate.

What’s to debate? Seems pretty accurate. Each seem to be as validated as the other underneath the banners of their respective religions.

I wouldn't call the KKK secular. They require you to be a Christian to join. I don't know how that could be called secular.

I agree that it's a poor parallel to ISIS though.

I just pictured a Klan rally outside a Edinburgh pastry shop.  Tongue

Most Christians will denounce the KKK without fear or thought. Many Muslims fear to do the same to the extremist among them.
