Disturbing story here.
This is disturbing. The dreaded, racially supremacist Ku Klux Klan is unfortunately claiming (plausibly, I'm afraid), increasing membership in Canada.
But it doesn't come as any surprise. We see the rise of all kinds of race-and-ideology-based supremacism/extremism worldwide. We see Islamic fascist terrorists chopping off peoples' heads for simply being different. We see North Korea pursuing a "master race" genocidal program, we see the Chinese Communist Party engaged in a Holocaust against the innocent, tolerant, peaceful, non-threatening Falun Gong. We see the rise of anti-Semitism and Christianophobic discrimination everywhere. We see the German state continuing to enforce Hitler's law against homeschooling, jailing and committing families and children, forcing them to be indoctrinated in whatever the state deems, regardless of their religious and human rights.
Now, is it any surprise that there's a bunch of white people joining together under an evil banner in response to various social problems they see as being unfair and even racist towards them? I do NOT accept the KKK at all, but, because of human nature, people sometimes become like this. We saw it in the Nazis, in the Islamic fascists today, in some of the Aboriginals of Canada, now in some white people.
Extremism and supremacism of all kinds are clearly on the rise in the world today and it is very disturbing. It appears that large portions of humanity haven't learned the lessons of history, of tolerance, of equality, of living together peacefully. We see favoritism and discrimination of all kinds, including of the kind that gets sugarcoated with rhetoric invented by "progressives" to justify their own brand of racial discrimination and favoritism and other kinds of bigotry. The unfortunate, and predictable, end result of this discrimation, however delusionally well-meant or not, is to cause feelings of exclusion and resentment in some people who will react in strong... and unacceptable ways.
None of this is good. Nazis, Communists, skinheads, the Black Panthers, the KKK, the Nation of Islam, the Muslim Brotherhood, "Palestinian" terrorist groups, Hezbollah, Aboriginal terrorists, false, self-claimed "Christians" (like KKKers) who go nuts and distort their religion's scripture to justify evildoing (just like the Islamic fascists), the CAIR, homosexual supremacist groups, feminazi groups, you name it. There's all kinds. And it's disgusting. And all dangerous.
I find it particularly offensive and absurd that these folks would have the nerve to claim to be "Christians". What they stand for is NOT Christian. They're just like the Islamic fascists who claim to represent Islam and use certain parts of scripture to justify evildoing. I'll be damned if I just sit idly by and let these cowardly, hooded scumbags get away with hijacking Christianity.
I note that a Klan spokesman in the article claims that the KKK isn't evil or violent anymore and that its intents are merely peaceful and positive. Yeah, right, suuuuure. Bullshit! That sounds about as credible as Mahmoud Ahmadinejad's claiming that his nuclear program is about electricity production and not building nuclear weapons. It's about as credible as the Chinese Communist Party claiming that they respect religious peoples. It's about as credible as Hitler's promise not to attack Britain. About as credible as Mahmoud "Abu Mazen" Abbas' claim that he wants peace with Israel and that his goal is a "Palestinian" state. About as credible as the claim that Islam is a peaceful religion. About as credible as Russia's claim that it's building new ICBMs at a Cold War pace and resuming heavy bomber patrols worldwide "because they feel threatened by the West".
Too bad we can't just simply get rid of the KKK. It's not that easy. If we can't get rid of the CAIR, then how on earth will we be able to get rid of the KKK? I say get rid of all extremist/supremacist groups! For if we allow them to grow in size and power, the ultimate result may well be civil war, and we do NOT want this.
But, hey, let's go right the bloody heck ahead and ban all extremist/supremacist groups. Let them go to court if they want.
